NBA Twitter reacts to Thunder trading for Gordon Hayward

Gordon Hayward Thunder NBA Twitter Inc. Tre Mann Davis Bertans OKC Brandon Rahbar Charlotte (Organization) Hornets

The Oklahoma City Thunder improved their roster by acquiring Gordon Hayward from the Charlotte Hornets during the NBA trade deadline.

In exchange, the Thunder sent Tre Mann, Vasilije Micic, Davis Bertans and two second-round picks to the Hornets. Micic is likely the largest absence for OKC; he recently started to carve out a nice backup guard role.

In 25 games, Hayward has averaged 14.5 points on 48.6% shooting, 4.7 rebounds and 4.6 assists. He has shot 36.1% from 3 on 2.4 attempts. He is on an expiring $31.5 million salary.

Health is an issue. He hasn’t played since Dec. 26. Hayward is inching closer to a return; he was recently designated as questionable for the Hornets.

Let’s look at some of the best reactions to the trade from X, formerly known as Twitter.
