Other than Hayward, Parsons, Deng, and our own Wet Bandit, who are other free agent options at the 3?
Here's the list of SF FAs from hoops hype, in order:
https://hoopshype.com/free_agency/small_forwards_2014.htm
1. LeBron James LATEST RUMORS
Unrestricted / Small Forward / 6-8 / 2013-14 team: Miami
27.1 ppg, 6.9 rpg
The four-time MVP and two-time NBA champion is already one of the top players of all time. His decision can potentially alter the landscape of the NBA. Would make a contender out of any NBA team.
2. Carmelo Anthony LATEST RUMORS
Unrestricted / Small Forward / 6-8 / 2013-14 team: New York
27.4 ppg, 8.1 rpg
With some years left in his prime, Melo will draw massive attention should he decide to leave New York – which is looking like a feasible scenario with the way things have gone at the Big Apple.
3. Luol Deng LATEST RUMORS
Unrestricted / Small Forward / 6-8 / 2013-14 team: Cleveland
16.0 ppg, 5.7 rpg
Cavs may have given away a bunch of draft picks for nothing. Cleveland proved to be a terrible fit for Deng, who could be looking to sign with a contender now.
4. Chandler Parsons LATEST RUMORS
Unrestricted / Small Forward / 6-9 / 2013-14 team: Houston
16.6 ppg, 5.5 rpg
Do-it-all forward that has his best basketball years ahead of him.
5. Paul Pierce LATEST RUMORS
Unrestricted / Small Forward / 6-7 / 2013-14 team: Brooklyn
13.5 ppg, 4.6 rpg
You want him on the court in crunch time during the playoffs. Could be a quality reserve for a contender next season.
6. Gordon Hayward LATEST RUMORS
Restricted / Small Forward / 6-8 / 2013-14 team: Utah
16.2 ppg, 5.1 rpg
Utah could end up regretting not signing him to an extension. The athletic and smart Hayward will be in high demand.
7. Evan Turner LATEST RUMORS
Unrestricted / Small Forward / 6-7 / 2013-14 team: Indiana
14.0 ppg, 5.0 rpg
Was really filling the stat sheet in Philadelphia till he was moved to Indiana, where he didn't play much of a role. That trade will cost him millions in free agency.
8. Shawn Marion LATEST RUMORS
Unrestricted / Small Forward / 6-7 / 2013-14 team: Dallas
10.4 ppg, 6.5 rpg
No longer the athletic freak he once was, Marion remains a tremendous defensive player.
9. Trevor Ariza LATEST RUMORS
Unrestricted / Small Forward / 6-8 / 2013-14 team: Washington
14.4 ppg, 6.2 rpg
Long, athletic swignman with good defensive skills and an improved perimeter game. Was central to Washington's success this season.
10. Marvin Williams LATEST RUMORS
Unrestricted / Small Forward / 6-9 / 2013-14 team: Utah
9.8 ppg, 5.3 rpg
Has been around forever, but Williams is still just 27. NBA career has been pretty underwhelming for a No. 2 pick.
11. Mike Miller LATEST RUMORS
Unrestricted / Small Forward / 6-8 / 2013-14 team: Memphisº
7.1 ppg, 2.5 rpg
Dead-eye shooter is healthier than he was 1-2 years ago.

13. Al-Farouq Aminu LATEST RUMORS
Unrestricted / Small Forward / 6-9 / 2013-14 team: New Orleans
7.2 ppg, 6.2 rpg

14. PJ Tucker LATEST RUMORS
Unrestricted / Small Forward / 6-6 / 2013-14 team: Phoenix
9.4 ppg, 6.5 rpg
Has really worked his way up in the NBA. Hustle player that is due for a payday.

10.1 ppg, 2.7 rpg
Veteran swingman that will be looking at minimum offers.

19. Jordan Hamilton LATEST RUMORS
Unrestricted / Small Forward / 6-7 / 2013-14 team: Houston
6.7 ppg, 3.2 rpg
He better finds a good situation because this may be his last real chance in the NBA.
20. Rashard Lewis LATEST RUMORS
Unrestricted / Small Forward / 6-10 / 2013-14 team: Miami
4.5 ppg, 1.8 apg
