Hayward starting his free-agent tour, as West gets tougher

Gordon Hayward will start his free agency tour in Miami on Saturday, potentially on the verge of moving into the Eastern Conference for the first time in his career.

The East could use some more star power.

Stephen Curry and Blake Griffin are staying in the West. Paul George is heading to the West as well, teaming up with reigning NBA MVP Russell Westbrook after a surprising deal saw Indiana send him to Oklahoma City. Before daybreak in some parts of the NBA world, roughly $750 million in new deals were hammered out and merely awaiting signatures next week when the NBA’s offseason moratorium ends.
