Gordon Hayward is having a good year statistically during this 2019-20 Boston Celtics season. It very well could earn him a nice investment from Boston—or another team with cap space come June.
His recent 8/20 shooting performance in a loss (the C’s third in as many games) against the Phoenix Suns at home this past Saturday not-withstanding, it’s been the kind of efficiency
(50% from the field, 35% from the 3-point line) that can earn a long-term contract from any team that has cap space or any of the squads eligible for a sign-and-trade.
Hayward represents the second largest salary.
