NBA Trade Rumors: 3 Teams that should roll the dice on Gordon Hayward

NBA Trade Rumors: Predicting three teams that may want to roll the dice on trading for Gordon Hayward, who could be available at the trade deadline.

There are still (roughly) three months until the NBA Trade Deadline, but the trade whispers are likely going to begin over the course of the next few weeks. And one team that many executives around the league will be keeping a close eye on is the Charlotte Hornets.

Charlotte has a few players that could be trade deadline targets for many teams around the league. And one of their most high-profile deadline candidates is former all-star forward Gordon Hayward.

Hayward is not in his prime anymore but is certainly a player that can still be highly productive in the right situation. So far this season, he’s averaging 17 points, four rebounds, and four assists on 47 percent shooting from the field and 36 percent shooting from 3-point range.

Gordon Hayward could be an extremely valuable commodity at the NBA Trade Deadline

Even though he’s not on an expiring contract (which is the hottest commodity at the trade deadline), I believe Hayward could spark a bidding war for his services. He’s still productive and if teams can get past his injury issues, he could play a vital role for a contending team right now.

If the Hornets get to that point, which teams should be interested in Hayward? Let’s begin with these three.
