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

[Mavs2021]

Not singling you out but I've seen this point brought up multiple times. I don't think people realize just how little value Hayward carries. Remember how we debated ad nauseum for a KP trade but always ran into roadblocks because we'd always say "KP's contract plus he's always injured so who would want him?", that's Hayward.

Hayward is as negative of an asset as they come. He isn't worth anything. He's been injured more than KP the last 3 years. Isn't that crazy to think about? 
KP's GP the last 3 years:

• 57                                                         
  
• 43
  
• 51
  

Haywards:

• 52
  
• 44
  
• 49
  

KP went for 2 terrible contracts and the Mavs had to add a 2nd to make it work. Mavs in this deal are giving 2 rotation wings. The LEAST Charlotte can do to make the deal stomachable is add in Washington.

I also think it´s not that bad deal on a stand-alone analysis. Seen much much worse around here.

Then it is if fair to point out that their pre-Washington/Oubre extension guaranteed salary stands at only $84M next year (before Hayward expires), so it´s not like they would be saving a massive amount of money. The salary cap floor might be as high as $120M next year, so even if they land the #1 pick and extend Washingon/Oubre, they´ll probably not be able to materialize the full cap relief any trade might provide. Their incentive would be tank, gain draft assets and maximize capspace, so not matching with our offers.

But thanks for making me look at the KP trade again to compare with Hayward and realize that the Bertans contract runs through 2025. Jesus. We are paying Bertans/McGee 22M for DNPs for another three years. That would be a problem for good front offices with invested owners, let alone the Dallas Cheapskates.
