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

[KillerLeft]

This is so about which team will give Hayward a deal he likes, and where he wants to sign, and so NOT about who has the best trade offer for Boston.

I don't think so, at least not to a full extent. All three parties need to be satisfied. Boston will never take a bunch of junk just to make a favour to someone. They will get properly compensated.

You might be right about them refusing to take on Wright's money. Then again, they might WANT Wright. Either way, I'm confident that IF Hayward and Dallas agree on the terms of his next contract, the trade cost will not dissuade them. I think Boston will get something small for doing Hayward this favor, and you can argue that potential use of THJ's expiring contract at the deadline might be viewed as a prize.
