The Charlotte Hornets did something very outside of their norm and made a splash signing in free agency, inking forward Gordon Hayward to a 4-year, $120 million contract. There were some rumblings about the Hornets interest in the former All Star in the days leading up to Saturday, but I don’t think anybody took them seriously. Turns out we should have been.
As is the case with any major move this franchise makes, outsiders are looking for ways to trash Michael Jordan the executive, which has been en vogue for about 20 years now.
