I have been thinking about trades like this - depressed assets. I was thinking about Issac in ORL with them about to add a big in the draft. Taking Hayward's contract would be worth it if adding a rookie scale player with upside that fits us like Washington. Would still need a defensive big, but less difficult to obtain than 2 way wings, apparently.
Doncic/SD
JB/Bullock
DFS/Hayward
Wash/DB
Wood/Maxi/(TPE Noel or TMLE JSmith)
That has a great flex to it. I like Josh Green, but yeah, I would throw him into that trade. I wouldn't worry much about the lineup - so much flex in those spots.
I think Hayward would start but play mid 20s minutes. He is a big wing like Dorian (and really Luka). The position flex would be insane.
I don't see any minutes for Bertans if we make a move like this. There are so many guys ahead of him at the 4. Given Hayward's cost for the next two years and the Washington signing, I think you could make a good argument for stretch waiving Bertans to keep the tax bill reasonable.
