Boston should have to kick in something right..?

we are really doing this to help them with the TPE.. if anything, they should throw a 1st rounder

OKC gets Boton 1st Rd pick + Batum + 2nd Rd pic from Hornets
CHA get Hayward
BOS gets the TPE

everyone is happy

Yes, what you suggest makes sense. However, Ainge has been pretty stingy with picks in the past.  I wonder if Charlotte just flips the Boston picks in S&T to OKC.  My guess is Boston gives us a couple 2nd rounders.

yeah - I hope we can get away with just sending one or both of our 2nd rounders next year.

If Philly was able to trad Horford's horrible 3 years @ 27mil + 1st Rnd pick + 2nd Rnd pick = Danny Green
We shud be able to trade Batum's 1 year @ 27mil + Two 2nd Rnd BOS(1) & CHA(1) = TPE to BOS = Hayward to CHA

Also, just saw this article about possible trades:

the problem is OKC is one of the few teams that can absorb Batum and they aren't going to just take him for nothing. They're going to want an asset and likely a first rounder

 

NO way in fug am I letting Batum harm this team more than he already has, I'd give them a single second , two at best. Id eat the money before giving a first

Does this mean that Haywood is going back to Boston?  I'm not into how the trade rules work in the NBA?

11:02 a.m. ET: The Boston Celtics and Charlotte Hornets have worked on a sign-and-trade for Gordon Hayward that would land the Celtics a trade exception, but the Hornets have first been trying to find a third team for Nicolas Batum's $27 million contract to see if there's a way to avoid waiving-and-stretching his money, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. Hayward remains headed to Charlotte on a four-year, $120 million contract.

What is the latest on this deal?  Did we finally waive Batum and move on or is this still in the works?

Nothing has changed at this point.

Seeing reports that Tristan Thompson and Jeff Teague traveling to Boston.  Thinking is they wouldn't be doing that unless Hayward S&T is close.
