Why can't he do a sign-&-trade with a team having cap room ? with a future pick going to the other team ? It would not be the first time it's done

Is this shade of yellow Hawks yellow or Knicks orange? Curious. Because it's the color that appears on the GH website.

It would be funny, after rumors of him only wanting to play for a contender and snubbing ATL because of that, to see him signing with NYK :wink:

Mark Murphy: Hayward’s opt-out viewed more as a formality. League source said it’s still possible he returns to C’s in restructured deal, unless, ala Al Horford, he receives home run offer from Atlanta or New York. “Gordon doesn’t even know right now.”

I have officially talked myself into Hayward for 2 years $50M.

Side note, Warriors paying $68M for one year of Kelly Oubre. Let's hope Ressler has pockets like THAT. UNREAL

Tough to do, right? It took me a minute but once I let everything settle I realized he hasn’t missed as many games I thought and he’s putting up like 18/4/7 as a 4th option so I got to thinking he could be his Utah self on our squad.

Sending out a healthy lineup of Trae, GH, Cam/Dre, Collins, and Capela is a playoff lock.

2/50M sounds fantastic, the only problem is he wants a longer deal.

Kevin O’Connor on Gordon Hayward: My hunch is that he wants Indiana and I’ve been told it’s a preference.

Me too.

Has to be #1 priority for NYK.

And if so, that almost certainly takes too big a chunk out of their cap space to be a serious contender for GH.

Stadium: “Gordon Hayward is fully focused and wants to sign a deal with the Pacers.” Our NBA Insider @ShamsCharania has the latest on Hayward’s potential landing spot in free agency.

Honestly, I don't know how those two teams find a way to reach an agreement.

With Danilo Gallinari and possibly Bogdan Bogdanovic signing tomorrow I don't see Hayward being signed. I have moved on and don't expect it to happen. Indiana seems like an ideal spot for him unless a silent team emerges.

I won't be surprised if a third team gets involved and Victor Oladipo gets traded.

A big reason I was hoping... and yeah, I suppose still hoping... to see Hayward join the kettle... you really don't even need a back-up PG b/c he is so good as a ball distributor, and is arguably among the best "point forwards" in the league.

Think we can put this to bed. We dodged a bullet.

Can't say I wouldn't have went for 4x$30m me, but it would have had to have happened before Gallo's signing.
