For all the people who are saying Ainge is dumb, take a good look at how this discussion has developed.
Talk to Sixers about trading down; create additional interest from the Lakers, and manufacture a possibility they try to trade up. Which apparently they're trying to get in the discussion.
If they compete with each other to put together a package of valuable assets, and you are still in a place to get the guy you want-- yay! If you don't, you don't make the deal. Either way, we win.
That's how you GM.
I'm hearing a theory/rumor that because they have to move some contracts to get both Hayward and Butler, the C's are grabbing the 2 picks from 76ers and using them and 2 roster players to trade for Butler and a sign and trade for hayward....so the Jazz might get Crowder and a pick. Something like that.
