Friends, I’m absolutely shocked at how negative the At the Hive community is about the Charlotte Hornets signing Gordon Hayward to a four-year, $120 million contract. As of the writing of this article, only 45% of you were “excited”, 20% were “indifferent”, and 35% were “disappointed/angry” based on this poll.
I’m speechless.
No parent wants to call their child ugly, and few passionate NBA fans are truly objective about their favorite team. Let me give those of you who are critical of the Hayward signing a dose of some harsh reality: The Charlotte Hornets are a trash destination for most top-tier free agents and will continue to be until this bottom-feeder franchise becomes a regular playoff contender.
