Gordon Hayward will become a free agent this summer, and with there already being rumors that he could leave the Utah Jazz ( the New York Daily News' Frank Isola reported there are "whispers" he might go to Miami), the fans are trying to do whatever they can to show him love.

Whether or not Hayward decides to stay will probably depend on how much the Jazz are willing to offer him, but this can't hurt. There is now a GoFundMe page that says fans in Utah are trying to raise $5,000 to rent a billboard that's located in between the practice center and the Jazz arena for the month of May.

The design is a photo of Hayward that sticks out at the top, and it includes the Jazz logo and in huge letters, "STAYWARD." Get it? Like Hayward. But Stayward.

Sports fans and athletes love to buy billboards. Sometimes they're used to show appreciation to a fan base, they're used to troll other fan bases, and they're used for what the Jazz fans are doing, to try to convince a player to stay.

The great thing about this billboard is that the person collecting the money says any extra cash will go to a good cause, per the GoFundMe page:

Any funds raised over the cost of renting a billboard for one month will be donated to the campaign Gordon Hayward shared this morning which belongs to his friend, Erik Romm, on his quest to raise 100k for cancer research. Rest assured no one will profit a dollar from this.
