ROSTER TALK: Mavs favs for Vogel if no HC job exists. Kyrie handshake deal?

[mvossman]

Maybe I’m uninformed. But the Hayward injury discussion seems overblown to me. He played 49 games for the season, and his last 2 stints on the injury list were due to an ankle sprain and covid. Doesn’t seem scary to me. If we can get him for Timmy and Dwight, I’d pull that trigger in a heartbeat. If they’d take Bertans in place of Hardaway, I’d add a pick.

He has appeared to wear down the last two seasons and in both cases missed just about the entire final 3rd of the season.  But the reality is just about everyone here would pull the trigger on Timmy+Powell for Hayward, which means its unlikely Charlotte would.  They don't have a reason to move him unless they get a legit center and doubt they want to sell low.  There is a small chance the 3 way trade with Indy works if Rick has a lot of influence.
