I think these are good ideas, but trading Hayward might be easier said than done.
Given his injury and that he's still trying to come from it, Hayward has one of the worst contracts in the NBA right now.

They are Defintely more talented. That isn't in doubt.
Also, I want to point out, last summer when everyone wanted to crown the Celtics, I was one of maybe 2 posters who said I didn't think they would be that much better because of Kyrie's fit (or lack thereof).
So I don't know what the endgame is. I have said every step of the way that the Celtics do not have a championship core because they have a lot of good players, but no great ones. I said it when the year traded for Kyrie and I doubled down on it last summer when everyone thought they would rule the East for years to come.
The Celtics are the team everyone should be talking about right now. They need to make some major moves this off season or they risk missing their window before it ever truly opens.
I don't see how they could trade Hayward right now. His trade value is about as low as it can get.
I don't see Ainge being willing to do that.

What moves can they make? Irving will walk. That pretty much eliminates AD unless Ainge wants to go all-in on a losing bet. Horford will likely opt in, but he's a 3rd/4th option at this point. Can they trade Hayward, or hope he continues to improve? Can they convince disgruntled Rozier to sign long-term? They could very well get passed by a few teams in the standings this year and may need to go with a youth movement with their draft picks.

This is for the Bucks fan to understand salaries and how it works...
With no trades and even without renouncing Brodgon the Bucks can get close (about $28M) to a max salary but they would be losing pretty much all their depth and two starters in the process

They will, because if they get CP3 and Capella's bird rights that come with his contract, they'll be able to sign Middleton under an MLE.
Besides, if Middleton will decide to leave MIL, the Bucks have no reason what so ever not to "help" Middleton and the Magic because they are also targeting Voucevic (who in return wants to play with his co-national and kid friend Mirotic), it therefore may be that both teams "help" their FAs to the destination they prefer.

Buck is right. You guys are lying.
He did not say the Bucks would sign Middleton to an MLE.
He said the MAGIC would sign Middleton to an MLE.
Nevermind that is even more delusional than the Bucks signing him at a far below market contract.
You guys are terrible people!
LOL
