Boston Celtics Offseason:
1) Draft Fultz
2) Sign Hayward
3) Trade for Andre Drummond
1 & 2 are very possible options that can easily happen... 3 is where it gets interesting but it's known that Drummond can be obtained via trade. Detroit is looking to restart and get a new identity. SO:
Drummond for Crowder, Rozier, and picks if needed (future 1sts Clippers, Grizzlies or own pick).
Depth Chart:
IT/Fultz
AB/Smart
Hayward/Brown
Horford/Olynyk (if can go into hard cap)
Drummond/FA (vet min)

Drummond is not a FA, he's signed for another 3years.
Taking Fultz will cost money being the #1 pick. So I see that pick getting moved to save money and to get what they need. A BIG.
So unless Crowder will play the 2 spot he will be moved if they do sign Hayward and if they keep Crowder then AB will be traded.

Why would Detroit give up Drummond for that return. I think Detroit would want at least the 2018 Brooklyn pick involved (ideally the 2017 #1 Brooklyn pick) . Maybe they could get away with a deal centered around Jaylen Brown if they added enough around him.
Crowder, Rozier and those non-Nets picks won't cut it.
Signing Hayward isn't as straight forward as it seems since Celtics won't have the 30.6 mill max he'll demand. Ignoring all FA cap holds (Green, Jerekbo, Olynk, Johnson and Young), their draft picks (#1, Yabusele and Zizic) and waiving Jackson, Mickey and Zeller they'd have 36 mill. That drops to 29 mill with cap hold for #1 pick. Therefore if Celtics wanted Hayward and to keep some guys on their bench they'd basically need to trade AD (which is smart since he, IT and Smart are all due extensions next offseason) .

Zelts. My bad, I didn't see the slash after Drummonds name. just saw the FA vet min. Sorry!
But I'm all for Drummond to Boston. They could sure use him now, down by 24 in the 3rd.
