Recently, according to a report from Shams, the Thunder sent Bertans and Treman to the Hornets to get veteran Hayward.
Not only is the Thunder the only draft pick in the league, but this deal is also commendable, Hayward is older, he has veteran experience and can help the youth team make a championship attempt, and the deal allows him to clean up Bertans' junk contract.
Raymond, 33, is averaging 14.5 points, 4.7 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 1.1 steals per game with the Hornets this season, and his contract expires at the end of the season with an annual salary of $31.5 million.
Bertans, who averaged 2.9 points and 0.7 rebounds per game for the Thunder this season, is a complete fringe player for the Thunder, and his five-year, $80 million contract does not expire until 2025, which has a big impact on the championship-aspiring Thunder.
Treman, selected by the Thunder with the 18th pick in the first round in 2021, averaged 3.8 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game this season, this is a very potential young player in the backcourt, but because the Thunder have too many young players, in addition to the starting Holmgren, Giddey, Jalen Williams, there are also young people such as Wallace and Dieng who need to be cultivated on the bench, therefore, Treman's being traded is beneficial to his career, and in the Hornets, he can get more playing time and performance opportunities.
The Thunder team is now ranked first in the West, as a youth army, the Thunder team has created too many surprises, I thought that as the season continued, their record would decline, but I didn't expect to play better and better, and there is a great potential to compete for the championship.
The Thunder have young players such as Holmgren, Giddey, Dort, and Wallace, and the team's boss Alexandra is only 25 years old, and the team must add veterans if they want to go far in the playoffs or even compete for a championship. And the Thunder's trade this time, not only got forward Hayward, but also sent Bertans's garbage contract, although it is a pity that the young talented player Treman was sent away, but even in the team, it is difficult for him to have a chance to play, therefore, in terms of this transaction rating, the Thunder is definitely A.
For the Hornets, it's all about clearing Hayward's $31.5 million contract, and if they can't trade, they could also negotiate a buyout. The team was able to agree to take over Bertans' junk contract, which doesn't expire until 2025, because they valued Treman's talent and thought he could play and be part of the team's future.
