The question is what is Hayward and/or Rozier’s value in trade around the league, not around fan circles.
If the goal is to reduce salary and the Mavs are the trade partner, Rozier almost has to be added to maximize the salary reduction due to THJ’s salary matching (almost) necessity.
I would need to re-introduce myself to PJ's game as I have paid little attention to the Hornets. I think he would be the most attractive piece on their roster, by a good deal (Minus Lamelo of course).
The question is who would you value more as the Mavs: Rozier or Hayward? Hayward would appear to be the better fit, but Rozier is probably the better player. You would be paying him similar to the Jalen contract though over the next 4 years. Would this roster look better if he replaced the Hardaway minutes?
