The Charlotte Hornets’ forward Gordon Hayward is set to play for the Minnesota Timberwolves if the two teams settle for a trade. The Hornets got their hand on Brandon Miller, who stands tall at 6 feet 9 inches and is a magnificent talent, but was it a wise decision to take him second overall? Probably or probably not.
The thing is, they need a point guard more than a forward. The trade window is a good opportunity for them to fix the potential mistake and land a player they need. Should they send Gordon Hayward, and if yes, where? The Timberwolves sound like a good option. Here is all the information you need about the trade between the Charlotte Hornets and the Minnesota Timberwolves involving Gordon Hayward!
What would the Timberwolves offer for Gordon Hayward?
The Hornets would get the Timberwolves’ guard Mike Conley in exchange for their forward Gordon Hayward. The Timberwolves might have made a blunder by signing Rudy Gobert, not because he is a bad player but because the teams are shying away from starting two big players, and they are doing exactly that.
Towns and Gobert are two big men, besides the fact that Gobert is signed to complement towns, the pairing didn’t work out. Conley would cover up the defensive shortcomings of Robert, but can they afford to part ways with Hayward?
It is also possible to trade Jayson Tatum for Gordon Hayward. https://t.co/ox10MbhWJn

Why would the Hornets trade-off Gordon Hayward?
Hayward and Miller play on the spot, Hayward’s departure would mean that Miller can start regularly. Other than that, it was rumored that Hayward desires a trade, and the Hornets can fulfill the request. They would get Conley, who is a veteran guard. His services would be beneficial for the Hornets.

Why would the Timberwolves like to sign Gordon Hayward?
There are a lot of questions about the roster the Timberwolves currently have. They can fix this by trading Towns. But they might not be keen on parting ways with Towns. Anyways, they would be okay with Conley’s farewell, and Hayward’s arrival who is expected to be consistent, can work well for them.
Both teams would be happy with the deal. The question is, do the Timberwolves want to fix their roster this way? Should the Hornets let Hayward go? We’ll keep you updated.
