It’s not a real recruitment battle until the emoji wars start.

Gordon Hayward met with the brass in Miami on Saturday, will be in Boston to meet with the Celtics Sunday, returns to Utah to meet with the Jazz on Monday, then will sit down and start to make his decision.

That didn’t stop Isaiah Thomas, Rudy Gobert, and Hassan Whiteside from trying to win an emoji war to win over Hayward. Gobert started it off.

Then Thomas jumped in.

Finally, it was Whiteside.

We get Chandler Parsons on a plane and we will really have something.
