Gordon Hayward

This Utah Jazz swingman would be an ultimate fit for the Denver Nuggets. With the ability to offer a MAX contract, the Denver Nuggets may think about offering what could be a blockbuster deal.

Hayward, who was a superstar at Butler and took them on an incredible NCAA Tournament run, has shown no intentions of wanting to leave Utah, but with the right price could he be bought?

Here a little clip of Hayward’s clutch gene.

This young star, who averaged 19.7 points per game last season, is 26; he is in the prime of his career and only getting better. This would be an incredible pick up for the Nuggets, but the likelihood seems to be slim. Hayward seems content where he is, and he will most likely be offered a MAX contract next season.

Hayward would look great in a Nuggets jersey, but he will most likely find his way back to Utah on a huge deal.
