For Hayward it makes sense to grab long term money if it is available this year. With his "slowly leaving the prime" age and injury history, it is not really wise to bet on yourself to potentially end up as Cousins. 100/4 is still a lot of money.
I am not really sure if such cheap tricks as "I will go to Atlanta if you don't SnT me where I want to go" really work. As a minimum Boston would want compensation of some kind for the help. Let's say this is Kleber, as they don't really need another pick. But you still have to get rid of additional salary, which (let's assume) Boston doesn't want without compensation.
Btw - how much salary would Dallas need to send out in a SnT for a 25 million player?
