Gordon Hayward’s wife fires back at Thunder after exchange: “You lost…”

The exchange of Gordon Hayward for the Oklahoma City Thunder It seemed like a good idea when it happened. This is because the team received a talented player and a veteran presence in the search for first place in the Western Conference and playoffs. Until the first half, everything went well, with the franchise taking the lead. However, the experienced athlete rarely took to the court. The team’s General Manager, Sam Presti, claimed to have made a mistake in the negotiation. Then, the player’s wife complained about the whole process.

“I made a mistake there, it’s my fault. But I’m learning. I’m trying to understand the team, just trying to be a great observer of the team as they go through their paces. But I don’t think I read him perfectly.”said Presti, who received Hayward in exchange for sending Davis Bertans, Tre Mann It is Vsilije Micic for the Charlotte Hornets. “I think it was a bit of a difficult situation. Stopping being a starter on one team and going to another and not playing, that must be a little different. But it wasn’t at the level I thought he wanted to be at. He helped us get first place in the West because he was in the rotation. There were nights where he needed to be a starter, but I think he helped us with rebounds a little. I really wish things were a little better with him, but I guess that’s just the way it is.”he completed.

“I missed on that. That’s on me, but I’m learning.”

According to the journalist Clemente Almanzafrom “OKCThunderWire”, Gordon left the cast disappointed. “Obviously, I’m disappointed how things didn’t work out. It wasn’t how I imagined. Frustrating, certainly. But that’s the way things are”, he commented. It was then that the player’s wife fired a shot at Presti and the Thunder.

“Why make an exchange for someone you won’t use? He lost because he didn’t integrate it. When the exchange took place, Gordon [Hayward] told him [Sam Presti] I didn’t think it would work. So, how can you say you made a mistake if the player himself warned you it wouldn’t work?”shot Robyn Hayward.

“It’s not what I thought it would be”
