Gordon Hayward retires

[HardcoreHokie]

Barely dodged that bulllet.  He did next to nothing for OKC in their deep playoff run.  His list of injuries throughout his career is insane.  Happy Trails.

I don’t think he ever fully recovered from that horrific injury he suffered in Boston. Which made signing him a real head scratcher but that’s MJ for you. Happy retirement, GH.

He absolutely had a successful run especially money wise.  No hate here

Aren't we glad he waited until he decimated our team before he did so?  What a terrible signing by the GOAT GM, MJ.

he was good in year 1 then injuries hit and never ended and even when on the court he kinda sucked. oh well, we wouldn't be in any different place right now had we not signed him. hopefully new ownership and front office can avoid these types of deals going forward.

Especially with this contract being back to back with that horrible Batum contract the previous few years. Just overpaid obviously under-motivated guys getting a big pay day. We'll see if Ball can actually stay healthy with his big contract, Luckily we're actually not doomed without him since they nailed the Brandon Miller pick
