DAL OFFSEASON: Trade & FA | Mavs "mostly done...but you never know."

[KillerLeft]

So would a THJ plus stuff for Heyward be a pretty even swap?

Will the Mavs be better?  I Think THJ would help the Cs.

I think they would be a lot better, yes. 

No doubt in anyone's mind that Hayward >>>> THJ, and I'm a THJ fan. This never happens if he doesn't want out of Boston, imo. The player option and threat of losing him for nothing is driving this, I think, even if it's not Dallas.

Hayward is telling the Celts he will opt-out unless they find him a good landing spot. He has leverage.

The Mavs might think this is their 3rd guy and would be willing to do an extension. The Celtics would get assets out of the deal but not a huge haul.

The deal would be like THJ/DFS/Wright for Hayward S&T or opt-in+extension. I don't know that Mavs would need to send a future pick in this deal.

This.
