TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

[mvossman]

This is the second time we've heard about Russ to CHA. 

I have NO idea why they'd be remotely interested in that, especially with Lamelo and Roizer actually working. Is Hayward that bad of a contract?? I mean I know he can't stay healthy but there have to be better deals out there for him no?

I would be totally fine with sending them Timmy and an expiring Powell.  Given our minutes situation, we could start Hayward but keep his minutes limited.  We also have the Casey factor.  Charlotte gets to shed some cash, get a backup big, and get a good player on a descending contract.  I could see that as a win/win.  Then we get the best center we can with the tax MLE and maybe Dragic.  Perfect offseason.
