The 2023-24 season was chaotic for Gordon Hayward.
He spent the first part of it with the Charlotte Hornets before he was traded to the Thunder as part of a three-team trade in February.
Hayward then played in 26 regular season games for the Thunder and seven playoff games before the Thunder had their season come to an end on Saturday night.
During his brief tenure with the Thunder, Hayward averaged 5.3 points and 2.5 rebounds per game and it led to him being frustrated with how it all went.
“Disappointing with how it all kind of worked out. Certainly frustrating,” Hayward said.
Based on those comments, it looks unlikely that he’ll be back with the Thunder for the 2024-25 season. He’s set to be an unrestricted free agent this summer and will want to go to a team that will play him more.
Before joining the Thunder, he had been with the Hornets for the last three and a half seasons and had averaged over 14 points per game in all of them.
Hayward has also spent time with the Boston Celtics and Utah Jazz.
