Prediction
Gordon Hayward is as competitive as it gets, he won’t care if the Brooklyn Nets offer him the max, he’s not going to a real terrible team. For Indiana Pacers fans, I know he is from there, but I doubt he is going there.
The Pacers may have the money, but Paul George is likely out, and the team is going in the wrong direction.
I consider this a two team race realistically between Boston and Utah. If Boston can convince Gordon Hayward that with them they are a serious championship contender, they have a chance. He would be willing to take less money for a shot at a ring.

However, I still believe his loyalty lies in Utah. I think he believes they can build a championship team there. Gordon Hayward will be returning to Utah!
