The Killian Hayes rumors just won't die. An article from yesterday.

"Killian Hayes is starting over Ivey because Williams likes his defense or the team is trying to let Hayes attempt to increase his trade value in this starting role.

According to Bleacher Report, the Pistons had been engaged in trade talks with the Dallas Mavericks centered around Hayes. He is expendable because of the team’s loaded backcourt and would likely be a throw-in for a trade that would free up roster space."

I truly don't see where Hayes fits in this already glutted backcourt. And I also don't see what he brings what this team doesn't already get in Green and Exum. If anything he's worse than both of those guys already. 

Looking at Detroits roster, there are some nice backup bigs and some vet scoring, but no one that I think is worth spending any meaningful assets on. The only trade that remotely makes sense to me within the frame of these rumors is Burks+Hayes for Holmes+Morris. 

But does that make the Mavs better? I mean they improve on depth and perhaps turn 2 guys they were never going to use into playable dudes, but other than that I don't see this as a huge improvement.
