Oklahoma City Thunder Trade For Gordon Hayward



Oklahoma City Thunder Trade For Gordon Hayward

Wondering what they’re going to do with some of the assets they’ve been stockpiling they’re acquiring a versatile Wing in veteran Gordon Hayward in a deal that involves Trey man and Davis bons what do you think of this one perk I like it I don’t love it um I feel

Like this is a move because Josh giddy has not been uh that great this season so I feel I’m feeling in the void to help out SGA and Jaylen Williams well at the top of the show we promised that Zack low the host of the wildly successful locost podcast would be

Joining us he is here now hi Zach Zach what do you think the most impactful move has been thus far hi there’s a lot going on holy smokes the New York Knicks what a day but we’ll talk about that later I want to talk about the Oklahoma City Thunder

Because with about 90 minutes left to go the top of the West minus the Monty Morris move to Minnesota has been pretty quiet and the Thunder just got a player in Gordon Hayward we’ll see what draft compensation they sent out that can close games for them perk mentioned Josh

Giddy being up and down Lou dorts been up and down Gordon Hayward can play the three the four he can shoot he can work off the dribble he feels every need the Thunder had yes his health is a big question I’m told he should be ready to

Play very soon if not immediately for Oklahoma City the Thunder did it they went out and made a win now move their team has earned this respect from the under front office they’ve earned a chance to really go for it it’s not the sexy Mo but it’s a big move by their

Standards and the top of the West has a contender that fortified itself we don’t need any more sexy moves Richard is out here threatening to drop buttons over the course of the show and all sorts of things that are going on over here but we’ been talking about it is way too

Early for that we’ve been talking about the Oklahoma City Thunder and whether or not we would see them make a move now or maybe continue to stockpile what do you make of this this is a short-term and long-term move they put that they position themselves to also resign

Gordon Hayward at the end of this season he’s a free agent then they can use him as a trade asset next year the other thing is with this move they are about $9 million under the tax still they have two open roster spots and I think they

Still have 34 tradable picks so they may not be done4 tradable pick this is again this is what the good smart organizations make moves to give them flexibility like the Knicks they mo make moves today to help them now and later this is a move that helps the Thunder

Now and later and doesn’t take on any bad money it’s just a smart move by a smart front office it is and it’s it’s a it’s a small step to where they’re trying to go I I still feel like they need to make one more move to get a

Center but let me say this with Gordon Haywood with Gordon Haywood this he fits the Thunder culture Sam pry loves guys that are going to be a true professional you got to realize you can’t just bring in any type of Veteran into this culture with the group of young guys that he

Have I’m pretty sure he didn’t done his due diligence on how you know Gordon Haywood approaches the game on the professional side I think it’s a match made in heaven they got better but they didn’t get what they needed in my opinion big a big they need a big when

You look at who are the best teams in this league The Bigs the depth the size when you look at the best players in this league where there’s Giannis joic Anthony Davis uh Joel embiid if they are a true Contender they have to be able to beat one of them they’re probably going

To face multiple or at least one of them in my opinion even if you’re talking about the New York Knicks the size that they have Boston the size that they have if this team is going to be a true Contender they had all the best guard

Play that you could ever ask for could did they improve in the guard play 100% but is that what they needed the most no they need big depth if they play against joic I’m sorry there is no answer for them but look at the bigs that the

Clippers have even their big depth they need to answer that in my opin look at Minnesota Minnesota so when you look around the league they’re already one of the best teams and they are young and they are ahead ofle but if I had to give

Them a grade on this you got better but you didn’t necessarily get exactly what you need to push you over the top got time got time let’s talk about
