Free Agency Targets: Gordon Heyward

[MedellinHeel]

Hayward in Clifford's system Is a 18-20 ppg, 5 rebounds and 5-7 assist guy with shooting numbers in the 40% range from 3.

Is that worth a max contract on just stats????? I think so, not many 18-5-5 guys in the NBA who can shoot the three that well.

Those numbers are def worth a near max deal. 

 

If you don't believe just go look at the numbers of guys making those figures.

Yep, he's definitely worth the contract. Especially in the system ran in Charlotte. It gives the team another ball handler who can create shots. Hayward can play the 2 or 3, I'd play him at the 2 with MKG on the floor.

Lineup would look like this for me.

Kemba (FA or #24dp)

Hayward (PJ), cdr

MKG (Hendo) Tolliver

McRoberts (Zeller)

Jefferson (biz)

Much better starting lineup and a much improved bench with one signing.

Rudy Gay is a max player.

Lance Stephenson has long been considered a near max if not max player on this next contract.

I personally do not think more than 5-7 guys in the league deserve max contracts but that is not how this works out.

For as much improved as we think the Hornets are it still is not a free agent destination spot. We will have to still overpay for free agents.

Heyward is a perfect fit guy who can swing from SG to SF. Also Al and Heyward played with each other so there would be familiarity there.

Two signings bc McRobert will opt out. But regardless it is instantly a more balanced roster.

I'm starting to warm up to offering a large contract to Hayward. I've always really liked his game, and I think he would help us out a lot.

[Rise of The Hive]

I would love to add him but he will probably cost out of the wazoo.

Not a fan. Don't think he's a superstar

Few are.....

 

Not sure your point. 

 

Hayward, while not a superstar, is a very good player.

 

You think only superstars get paid big contracts in the NBA? lol

[John_Sutter]

Love Hayward. But not for a max contract. He'll end up getting somewhere in the $10-$12 mil range, likely from Danny Ainge. (Think Rondo's contract.)

Only superstars should get paid. It would be a mistake to give him max money

[Omega Atrocity]

Just did the math and a projected max for Hayward would be $15.2 million/year based on the 63.2 million cap number I've seen tossed around. I think we could get him for less than max, but not a ton less.

[TANTRIC-NINJA]

So i guess its lebron or bust! You unrealstic fools!

You obviously do not know how the NBA works. 

 

Go check league wide salary and you will be surprised.
