On February 9, Beijing time, the Oklahoma City Thunder, who have the No. 1 record in the Wild West, reached the first big deal at the trade deadline! What you need to know is that they acquired former All-Star guard Gordon Hayward in the 2-for-1 deal they just reached, thus completing a further upgrade of the championship roster!
According to the name shams, a source in the coalition revealedThe Oklahoma City Thunder will trade for forward Gordon Hayward from the Charlotte Hornets. ESPN Register follow-up reports that the Thunder sent Mann and Bertans in exchange for Gordon Hayward from the Hornets. With this 2-for-1 deal officially completed, the 33-year-old Gordon has officially become a Thunder, and he will start a new chapter in his career in Oklahoma!
After the Thunder and the Hornets reached a 2-for-1 agreement, a very incredible scene appeared! Gordon Hayward was an All-Star in 2016-17, and the Thunder didn't even have an NBA on their current roster at the time. Although Hayward only has a 14-year NBA career now, he is a "hardcore" player in front of his young Thunderers. I can't imagine that when Hayward was selected as an All-Star, the Thunder and these young people had not yet entered the NBA, and they should all be students at that time, which is very incredible to think about!
So far this season, Hayward has played in a total of 25 games for the Hornets, averaging 31 per game9 minutes can get 145 points 47 rebounds 46 assists 11 steal and shooting 468%, 36 three-point shooting1% and 76 free throw percentage5%。This season is Gordon 4 years 1In the final year of his $200 million contract, he will officially become a free agent at the end of the season.
Although the Thunder are a youngster-focused team, the core of the team, Alexander and Holmgren, are still very young. With infinite vitality, they have burst out with incredible energy this season, overcoming all obstacles and overcoming invincible battles, as if they have become a truly intimidating championship team in the West. Although they are young, they are full of combat power!
With Hayward settled in Oklahoma, the Thunder finally have a veteran in charge. It is said that there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure! Hayward will be able to bring to the young Thunder what they desperately need: veteran experience. This will be a great way to help these young people grow up so that they can make the strongest impact and challenge for the O'Brien Cup possible!
