That would be like a perfect way to get Hayward, because he has all the leverage here - I will not opt in unless you trade me to Dallas in a three team trade. Boston needs his cotnract to trade for Gobert, unless they want to trade Smart. The question is, what would Utah want to give up Gobert? Boston can provide the picks, but they would also require good players, as they still want to compete. Utah might also be reluctant to take whole Hayward salary, as they are close to tax already. Still, I think Kleber and Curry would be minimum to make Utah interested. So how about:
Dal: Hayward Snt
Utah: one of the Williams brothers, Kleber, Curry, Boston draft compensation (add Jackson or so to match salaries)
Boston: Gobert
It feels like Dallas is giving up most of the compensation here (I realize you haven't specified picks and that makes a difference). But, if we are giving up Maxi and Curry, shouldn't we be getting Gobert?
