Hayward is an expiring $30MM/year contract which will open up the Thunder for ample 2024-2025 cap space, a cheaper re-signing of Hayward, Jalen Wlliams or Chet Holmgren rookie extensions, and more.

This is part of a larger series of trades for Charlotte.

They have also acquired via trade a top-2 protected FRP, Grant Williams, and Seth Curry.
