0 points, 0 rebounds, 0 assists, 0 steals, 0 hats!NBA's top contract fraudster, who won Jordan's 4-year 120 million contract
In a previously concluded Western Conference infighting game, the Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the New Orleans Pelicans 119-112 away to end the latter's two-game winning streak! Keady performed even better, shooting 10-of-14 from the field, 5-of-8 from three-point range, and scoring 25 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists. Jalen Williams had 26 points, 2 rebounds and 5 assists, and Holmgren had 16 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks. The youth team moved to 50-21 after the win over the Pelicans, and is close to the Nuggets in the West, with only 0.5 wins between the two sides.
It's really rare for the Thunder to keep their hot form from the new season to now! After all, they are a very young team, but even then they haven't started high or low. This is enough to show that this young Thunder team now has enough strength to fight tough battles, and they are no longer the lambs that were slaughtered by others in the past! Besides, they are super dark horses in the Wild West, and it seems that they can no longer fully summarize their excellence. Yes, this youth team composed of Alexander, Holmgren, Jalen Williams, and Keady will be a big problem for Western teams in this year's playoffs.
Although the vast majority of the Thunder performed well in this game, there was only one person who was seriously delayed! He was the 33-year-old veteran Gordon Hayward, who was traded to the Thunder by the Hornets on deadline. In this-for-tat match, Hayward not only failed to help the young people in the team, but became a big burden. He played 10 points off the bench, made 0 of 2 shots, and handed over 0 points, 0 rebounds, 0 assists, 0 steals and 0 blocks, with a plus/minus of -19 and the bottom of the team! It is not an exaggeration to say that Hayward, who is good off the court, is an undercover agent sent by the Pelicans.
At the trade deadline, the Thunder acquired former All-Star forward Gordon Hayward from the Hornets through a trade. The team has high hopes for him, because he is a veteran of the league for many years, and believes that his rich game experience will help the young players on the team! Although he is not an All-Star level of the year, the Thunder do not want him to reach that height, as long as he can play a positive role in the game to a certain extent. But Hayward still disappointed again and again!
This offseason, Gordon Hayward expires his contract as a free agent, and the Thunder will face contract extension issues. But judging from Hayward's performance in the period when he joined the Thunder, he is not worthy of the Thunder to offer him a big contract, and the Thunder must also beware of being cheated out of a big contract by Hayward. Because Hayward is a well-known top contract fraudster in the league!
In November 2020, Hayward received a four-year, $120 million contract from then-Hornets owner Michael Jordan. But after signing a four-year contract extension with the Hornets, Hayward missed 42 percent of the regular season during the team's time. Jordan's original plan to lead the team to the playoffs and even further has failed!
