I noticed that too. Stewart missed Saturday also with a shoulder issue. Hayes was declared out today with an illness.
Another way to make the money work is Holmes/Hardy for Stewart/Hayes. Please don’t tell Killer as he won’t be happy.
Interesting factoid if this were to happen…Hayes’s dad DeRon and Lively’s mom Katherine overlapped three of their years at Penn State.
Edit: As a reminder, Dallas and Detroit were in talks in late July and Hayes was in that deal. Here is reporting from Stein at the time:
“Recent trade talks between Detroit and Dallas, I'm told, were sparked by the Pistons' determination to ease a backcourt logjam by trading Killian Hayes and gained little traction. While the Mavericks are indeed among the teams with a longstanding interest in acquiring Detroit's Bojan Bogdanović, their trade priority at this point of the offseason is still believed to be an upgrade at center. The Pistons have been seeking no less than a future first-round pick for Bogdanović for months.”
It doesn't seem that far fetched that this could morph from Bojan/Hayes to Stewart/Hayes. Detroit is in a Bird-Rights Trap with Hayes. You have to appear to at least get something when your high pick is a free agent and you don't want him.
