And who said Hayward wasn’t good at making MORE money?

And who said Hayward wasn’t good at making MORE money? Family reunions are in-play, making money at a high, rejecting money is at a high, my oh my!

Gordon Hayward is making moves that nobody, including I, was seen coming. The Hornets, ESPN, and CourtSideHeat broke the news yesterday that Hayward has signed a huge contract. “What’s the contract?” You may be asking, the numbers will blow your mind.

The contract is worth $120 million dollars for 4-years; however, this is not the first time the Hornets tried pursuing Hayward. In 2014, when Hayward was an RFA, the Hornets put an offer in for him. Sadly for the Hornets, he decided to go with Utah’s offer,

It only took a day for Gordon Hayward to get a big-money contract since opting out of the final season; he did opt-out of the $34.2 million dollar player option. He pretty much sacrificed $4 million dollars more for this season to have a guarantee of $30 million dollars per year until the contract expires. Smart. Just smart.

The Hornets, to make room for Hayward, are releasing Nic Batum. Batum’s $27 million dollar cap hit will play out over the next three seasons; since signing that max contract, worth $120 million for 5 years, in July 2016; his scoring averages and everything dropped off considerably. For last season, in the past 22 games, he averaged 3 points and 4 rebounds. Bust material? Yep, it is looking that way.

Jaylen Brown Penalized $25K For Throat-Slash Gesture

According to the NBA, they have fined Jaylen Brown $25,000 for making a gesture that saw him taking his thumb/hand across his throat in a slashing interpretation.

The throat-slashing gesture came after he posterized Isaiah Stewart in the first quarter of Wednesday’s game.

For those wondering, the league deemed it an “inappropriate gesture.”

According to multiple reports, the Boston Celtics have waived Lonnie Walker. He signed an Exhibit 10 contract earlier in the offseason.

Head coach Joe Mazzulla loved the work Walker showed the team during training camp and the preseason; however, if Boston were to sign him to their roster for the season, it would have cost them $11 million in salary. That would have been before the tax penalties.

President of Basketball Operations Brad Stevens told the 25-year-old how difficult it would have been to make the team due to money and depth. Even with all that, Walker still opted to sign with them and show them his skills.

With the type of contract he has signed, if Walker doesn’t find another team to sign with, he can play for the Maine Celtics of the G League.

In 322 career games, Walker averaged 9.8 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 1.5 assists in 20.3 minutes.

Lonnie Walker Signs With The Boston Celtics

According to multiple reports, led by ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Boston Celtics are adding Lonnie Walker IV to their team.

The 25-year-old is signing a one-year deal as a prove-it deal to the league that he can ball and be a useful piece to a championship/playoff contending team.

In 58 games for the Brooklyn Nets, Walker averaged 9.7 points and 2.2 rebounds per game. His shooting splits were 42.3% from the field and 38.4% from behind the arc.
