Miami Heat Rumors: Gordon Hayward Not A Terrible Move, Just Not The Best One
When you look at Gordon Hayward as a player, he could fit well with what the Miami Heat want to do. As mentioned above, he could play the three or the four position and fill in the void left by P.J. Tucker, perhaps in an elevated capacity even.
He’s a good player and that can’t be denied. Here’s why it wouldn’t be the best move for the Miami Heat though.
Back to the “lot” that’s going on in the report.
Why would the Miami Heat send out all that for Hayward?
Moving Tyler Herro “before paying him” to take on Hayward’s $30 and $31 million dollars over the next two seasons isn’t exactly a win. Some will say it is if you can also move Duncan Robinson’s salary, but that might not necessarily be the case either.
Even with Herro set to make nearly that much per over the life of his next deal and Robinson’s $18 million per average, the potential value of production to cost ratio still might be better with what those two can offer the team from the perspective of winning.
