Charlotte Hornets reportedly trade Gordon Hayward to Oklahoma City Thunder

Era is officially finished.

Hours after The Observer reported his time was up in Charlotte, the Hornets reportedly agreed to send their highest-paid player to Oklahoma City for Tre Mann and David Bertans.

Signed to the most lucrative deal in franchise history in 2020, Hayward never panned out with the Hornets.

Hayward’s four seasons were mostly a disappointment and marred by myriad injuries. He never played a full season with Charlotte.
