Leaving a team often comes with emotional goodbyes, attachments, and sacrifices as seen in the case of former Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward and his family, whom he had to leave behind after the veteran was dealt from the Hornets to the Oklahoma City Thunder.

The Oklahoma City Thunder (and the Seattle Supersonics before them) have 51 jersey numbers worn by the players who have suited up for the franchise since its founding at the start of the 1967-68 season.

The Hornets are sending Richards and a second-round pick to Phoenix for Josh Okogie and three second-round picks, league sources confirm to The Observer on Wednesday. The Observer reported the mutual interest between the two teams while the Hornets were in Arizona on Sunday.

During his time suiting up for Seattle, Drobnjak wore only jersey No. 14 and put up 8.3 points and 3.7 rebounds per game.

For the first time this season, the Cavs are creeping closer to being totally healthy. This is something rare that Cleveland has never experienced this year. So, hopefully, Merrill is back sooner rather than later so the Cavs can enjoy perfect health and totally dominate their opponents.

During his time suiting up for Seattle, Perkins wore only jersey No. 14 and put up 11.1 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 1.4 assists per game.

Kyrie Irving scored 25 points, Spencer Dinwiddie and P.J. Washington Jr. added 16 apiece and the Dallas Mavericks beat Oklahoma City 106-98 Friday night as Thunder All-Star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander missed his first game of the season.

Wednesday’s controversial loss to the New Orleans Pelicans was an example of Irving’s latest injury management because of a bulging disc in his back. Irving said Tuesday that he would “most likely” play in a game that was on the road after the Mavericks suffered a lopsided loss at home to Denver the night before.
