Look, I get it. Gordon Hayward playing for the Indiana Pacers would be more than just a homecoming for the state of Indiana, it would be a top 30 player joining the team and giving Paul George a legitimate All-Star teammate.
But the chances of that happening are slim to non-existent.
For starters, the idea was floated around several times over the past year or so, but as far as I know, there isn’t a single report that says Hayward has expressed any interest in returning to Indiana, much less leaving the Utah Jazz.
Yes, Hayward was born in Indianapolis.
