Ok Gordon’s wife, it’s not their fault that he gets injured literally every game

So they didn't protect him from himself and thats their fault? Cause clearly if the man was injured (again) he shouldn't have suited up, but the ultimate decision to play is up to Gordon, right?

Over the years, Hayward has taken a massive hit to his reputation.

When the Hornets signed Hayward for a whopping $120 million for four years, many considered the move another failure of Michael Jordan’s ownership. So far, the notion has held its own. With three seasons under the belt, Hayward’s stint in Charlotte has been overwhelmingly disappointing.
