As for moving him - no team is going to give up assets for him, considering that if they don't sign him, he walks on Aug 15th. Chicago will not be interested in moving him for less than a second round pick. Tough to to swing a deal in those conditions.

I think the fact that he is worth at least a 2nd round pick (since Chicago would get the 54th overall pick next season as compensation if he doesn't sign) is enough reason to think Chicago will hang onto him until the deadline on August 15th.
Would any of you give up a 2nd rounder in the deep 2015 draft for a prospect like Hayes? Not sure I would... However I could see the rights to Hayes being used as a make-weight in any cap-saving trades the Hawks attempt to make before then. I reckon we could get Hayes before that deadline if we took a $£itty contract/player like Oduya off their hands...
Think I'd rather just wait and sign him in August.
