Trades That Would Be Considered Former Celtics Wing Scorers

Trades That Would Be Considered Former Celtics Wing Scorers In addition to wanting to be a contender, the

Philadelphia 76ers

also seek cap flexibility for the next offseason. Zack Kram of The Ringer suggested a deal combining

two former Boston Celtics players in order to give them the best of both worlds.

In a piece published on January 17, Kram suggested the following trade involving the

Sixers and Charlotte Hornets. Sixers receive: Gordon Hayward

Marcus Morris Sr.,

Robert Covington, and two second-round choices are acquired

by the Hornets. Kram outlined the reasons Hayward would make

the Sixers a top trade target.

Hayward would be adequate as a jack-of-all-trades option on an expiring contract

if cap space is still a top objective. The 33-year-old former All-Star has been

in Charlotte’s shadow for the last four years,

but he is still a capable creator—he has averaged 4.6

assists per game this season, which is his highest total in ten years.

Hayward gives the Sixers size and shooting down the wing, Kram continued.

“He’s still got enough shooting (36% from distance) to play without the ball.

Additionally, he is still large enough to play on the perimeter with Maxey

and De’ Anthony Melton,

giving 76ers head coach Nick Nurse another wing option.Kram did not go into much detail as to why Morris and

Covington would be desired by the Hornets.

Their contracts are also ending, much like Hayward’s.

Insider: Gordon Hayward Is Likely to Be Sold Out

The Hornets intend to make some fire sale adjustments,

according to Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports.

He only mentioned the three players that the Hornets intend to retain.

With the backing of the new ownership,

the Hornets have signaled that they will be more involved this deadline

than they have been in past trade windows. According to league personnel,

Charlotte reportedly has every player available but La Melo Ball,

Brandon Miller, and Mark Williams,”

Fischer wrote in a story published on January 17. One of the athletes is Hayward.

Although there has been interest in the former Celtic, according to Fischer, a deal does not seem likely.

“A rival team offering $30 million to match veteran wing Gordon Hayward’s

expiring salary is not likely to happen; instead,

Hayward is more likely to switch teams through a buyout.” of injuries over the years.
