I think Hayward is definitely better than THJ/McGee, despite his constant health issues. But, I am not sure Charlotte would even consider dealing him for two long term deals. His expiring salary has more value and they might have same MLE ideas for themselves.
Once before I mentioned Dort. OKC has 21 players under contract. If they waive Gay, Oladipo (both will be almost certainly waived), Bertans (are they eating his guaranteed salary for next season?), their two unguaranteed guys (Wiggins, Isaiah Joe), they still need to dump another young player. Dort would be an awesome point of attack defender and it is getting somewhat crowded in OKC. This is their rotation:
PG: SGA, Wallace, Micic (didn't come over to be a third PG - these three guys will take a ton if not all of SG minutes)
SG and SF: Dort, Giddey, J.Williams, Dieng (needs minutes) - these guys will also take PF minutes
PF: K. Williams, Poku,
C: Holmgren, J. Williams
It might make sense to consolidate some of that talent into future assets (not enough minutes for everyone). So, would you consider THJ, McGee, 2027 for Dort and whatever 2 or 3 end of bench young guys?
