Is Gordon Hayward A Viable Backup Plan In Free Agency For Miami Heat?

The Miami Heat’s are still in search of a power forward and their sights could be set on Gordon Hayward of the Charlotte Hornets.

Sean Deveney of Heavy.com spoke this week with an anonymous NBA executive this week who said Hayward could be a ‘Plan B’ option if they fail to land Kevin Durant. 

“I think a guy they will keep an eye on is Gordon Hayward,” the executive reportedly said of the Heat. “Charlotte’s in a tough position with the (Miles) Bridges thing, they have (Steve) Clifford coming in, they’re in a position to rest things a little bit around LaMelo Ball. Hayward has two years left,” the exec continued. “It’s a short-term move for Miami, but they need to make their move now. You can play him at the 3 and go big or go small at the 4. He’s a guy they’ve had interest in before.”
