Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward is available for trade and could be a possible candidate for a buyout, per Yahoo Sports' Jake Fischer.
According to Fischer, Hayward's expiring contract makes him an option for a buyout if he is not traded.
"He's a wing player that is absolutely for the taking that I think — on an expiring contract — has more likelihood than ever to get moved," Fischer said on The Trade Deadline. "That being said, because of the expiring, a lot of teams are looking at Hayward as a buyout possibility."
