Here’s what Ryen Russillo said on The Ringer’s The Bill Simmons Podcast:
I’ve heard that Gordon Hayward does want out, but I don’t know if he’s going to get the money. he’s not opting out of that huge number unless he knows he’s getting the deal.
That tidbit was part of a larger conversation about what the Atlanta Hawks might do at #6 in the November 18th NBA Draft. They’re rumored to want to win now and have cap space to sign a significant free agent to do so.
