Why cut Hayward? He's a pretty good player when he's healthy and we need another player in the front court.
I don't disagree that he's good and we could use another forward, but there's no need to keep him around when he won't be a part of our future. He's getting older too, let him go play for a good team instead of taking touches away from Cade. Just IMO though, I wouldn't be too mad if we decided to keep him, but I'd rather suck for one more year and try to grab another young piece while letting our core guys take the wheel.
If you go get Hayward, he’s a Piston for at least a season. He’s owed like $60 million, you cut him right away you just paid that much for whatever pick(s) you got.
Other then which way the pick goes, this would be the sequel to Blake joining the Pistons.
And in all honesty, I’m pretty sure this thread started because the idea was Charlotte would give up 13 or 15 to get a team to take him. We convinced New York they needed Charlottes 13th overall for us to take Walker. We wouldn’t be able to repeat that until the next draft where a team gets desperate to get off a contract and we know what pick we’re getting.
I don’t want us to get Hayward, I’m convinced Weaver still has a few teams in mind to pillage in a trade and $30 million a season for Hayward is to much money for to few assets.
