Charlotte Hornets owner Michael Jordan has always been criticized for being one of the worst executives in the league, and he’s somehow outdone himself.
On Saturday afternoon, the Charlotte Hornets shocked the NBA world when they signed former Celtics forward Gordon Hawyard to a 4-year/$120 million contract.
Free agent Gordon Hayward is signing a 4-year, $120M deal with Charlotte, per source.

Fans immediately mocked Jordan for overpaying on Hayward.
This is one of the worst contracts I’ve ever seen https://t.co/5kOQfUDJir

Guys, LeBron is not only a better player than Michael Jordan, but he’s already, without a shadow of a doubt, a better team builder than MJ & he hasn’t even retired yet.

Me: “Wow Hayward turned down his 30 mil player option, he must be seeking a longer deal because there’s no way anyone pays him that much”
