Don't know who'd fit for sure but given Oladipo's lack of interest in being here, I'm fine with exploring options with Boston. Robert Williams would be an interesting piece for Boston to throw in. Celtics fans lover him. He's a young guy with tons of potentiall, though can be a little spacey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwtaylor1055 Posted November 21, 2020 Report Share Posted November 21, 2020 Celtics in a tricky spot. If they can’t work a deal via sign and trade, pacers should have no problem finding a trade partner for Myles that will absorb his salary then sign can sign Hayward for around 3 yr $65 mil. Or 4 yr $100 mil. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be very, very for tricky for the Pacers are making the moves to get under the cap in order to sign Hayward outright.

The only way they could get cap help by trading Turner is to trade with a team way under the cap. That way the Pacers wouldn't have to take the same salary back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like Charlotte is potentially in play though. Like I've said, the Celtics, Pacers and Hayward all have some leverage here and also lack some leverage here. End of the day, I bet they get something done that meets in the middle. One thing I know is just because a team looks like they are over the cap or up against it doesn’t mean they can’t do other moves to free up space if they want to sign Hayward out right cutting Boston out. Time will tell...I just don’t think Boston has as much leverage as they are making out. I think Gordon is a great player for the right team but I don’t know his market is what some people think. I also don’t think the players Indy wants to ship out (Turner/VO) have much value either. I think people will come to their senses and everyone take a little less to get what they want.

FKIM01 Posted November 21, 2020 Report Share Posted November 21, 2020 Shipping Oladipo would certainly help with cap space but as Scott said earlier, that may have to be delayed to get better value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of teams don’t look like they have cap space because they have holds for players that are restricted free agents right now..but say Detroit or Cleveland or some other team doesn’t want one of their own players and release the hold then they suddenly have room.

Seeking6 Posted November 21, 2020 Report Share Posted November 21, 2020 I'll credit Ainge. He seems to think Hayward is just a small step behind the elite of the elite.

True, teams can maneuver to get cap space, but this isn't a typically off season, that will be a little more difficult this go around. Training camp starts soon. I've said all along the Celtics and Pacers will figure this out, but with that said Ainge isn't just going to give Hayward up without at least trying to get as much as he can. That's how these things work. Also, sometimes its not even Ainge. Ainge gets all the credit for that Brooklyn deal, but Ainge had just about agreed to a lesser deal and the Celtics owner made him call Brooklyn back and demand that 3rd first round pick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, he's obviously not an elite, elite guy, but again he averaged 17, 7 and 4 as the 4th option on his team while shooting 55% from 2-point range and 54% from 2-pt range, and he's a plus defender. He's pretty damn good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BGleas Posted November 21, 2020 Report Share Posted November 21, 2020 Fun discussion all! At the end of the day, as I've said, I think this thing gets done. The Celtics aren't getting Oladipo or Warren. Ainge may get Indiana to sweeten the pot a bit, but I'd also agree that chance lessens the longer this goes on and other suitors for Hayward fill their rosters. We'll see.

The suitors for Hayward to leave at the money he wants without a sign and trade are drying up. That gives Boston some leverage, but it also gives Indiana leverage because the sign and trade partners will be drying up as well. For Indy you can hold out and let the market dry so Boston has to get this done, but thay could also sour Hayward's feelings toward Indiana if they make him wait. Like I've said all along, all three parties have some leverage and some weakness here. I'm sure they'll meet in the middle and this thing will get done somehow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure it does give Boston leverage as the suitors dry up, unless they're willing to keep Hayward long term for big money. And even then, Hayward wants out so would he really settling for staying just because the Boston front office decided to be unreasonable? I'm seeing the Celts try to assert leverage, I'm just not seeing that they actually have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think right now it's bad enough to be at least engaging with the Celtics. As I've said numerous times, all three parties have some leverage and three have some weakness. The Celtics leverage lies in the fact that Indiana wants Hayward, Hayward wants Indiana and its very clean for the Pacers in terms of the fit with moving Turner as well. The Pacers leverage lies in the fact that even if they want Hayward badly, they can still always walk away. Again, I'm sure they'll get this done. It's all part of the negotiating.

dgambill Posted November 21, 2020 Report Share Posted November 21, 2020 Or it’s all PR smoke to drive up asking price for Hayward by his agent or from the Celtics to get more from another team. He might be willing to go other places in a sign and trade if the money is right. Sometimes the obvious fit is the right fit...sometimes we aren’t getting the whole story. This one almost makes too much sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
