Gordon Hayward is heading to a new home.
On Saturday, a person with knowledge of the terms, speaking on condition of anonymity because the deal hadn’t been signed, told the AP that Hayward will sign a four-year contract with Charlotte worth $120 million. ESPN first reported the agreement between Hayward and the Hornets.
Hayward turned down a $34 million option for this season with Boston, and the Celtics were in talks with other teams — including Indiana, which was believed to be a preference of Hayward’s — on potential sign-and-trade deals.
