I cannot currently see how this makes any sense. As I said in last night’s show, why engage in this sign-and-trade mess if you don’t have to? I know they have to move someone to create space, but you don’t have to send anything back to Utah.

That is unless Hayward was drawn by the ridiculous outcry that he somehow owed Utah something and he pressed for the sign-and-trade.
