It’s been an incredible ride and I’m so grateful to everyone who helped me achieve more than I ever imagined.”

Thunder fans take last shots at Gordon Hayward after retirement news

One fan alluded to Hayward’s polarizing exit interview where he shared some conflicting details about his arrival on the Thunder, with the commenter going as far as to accuse the veteran of gaslighting the franchise with his choice comments.

Sports Illustrated’s Matt Alquiza even went as far as to breakdown how, essentially, the best part Hayward’s arrival in Oklahoma City was his quick departure, as they essentially were able to clear up the proper cap space necessary with his expiring contract to go out and sign the likes of Isaiah Hartenstein this offseason.

Though without question better than what his short stint with the Thunder suggested, as he’s a career 15.2 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 3.5 assists per game player, Gordon Hayward closed out the final 26 games of his professional tenure with pedestrian averages of 5.3 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 1.6 assists.
