Many free agents have decided on their next destination this offseason, but some players still haven't been contracted. For example, Hayward, who played for the Thunder last season, was a free agent this offseason, but he has not been signed by other teams. So the 34-year-old Hayward made a decision today, and he officially announced his retirement.

At the age of 34, it stands to reason that it is still a bit premature to retire, and Paul George, who has also suffered a major leg break injury in his career, re-signed a contract with a maximum salary this year. And Hayward's choice to retire at the age of 34 is indeed unexpected for many fans. He still has gas in Hayward's tank, and if he goes to an experienced championship team, he can still contribute his energy on the field.

Of course, each player has different ideas, and for Hayward, he probably thinks that he needs to say goodbye to basketball and enjoy life at this stage of play. Careers Hayward has had success. In his career, he averaged 15.2 points, 4.4 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 30.7 minutes per game. His career with the Jazz has been the highlightest. At one time, he was the leader of the Jazz. He averaged a game-high 21.9 points, 5.4 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game in a single season with the Jazz that year, and he was named an All-Star for his outstanding performance that year.

Hayward earned a total of $272 million in salaries during his 14-year NBA career and signed two contracts worth more than $100 million. Many fans bluntly said that Hayward's career is also very perfect. Of course, there are many fans who feel sorry for him, and if it weren't for the broken leg injury that year, Hayward could still play very efficiently in the later stages of his career. As a result of that broken leg, his performance began to fall off a cliff later in his career.

It is worth noting that there are a total of 4 All-Star players in the 10-year rookie, and all 4 players have had very bumpy careers and experienced very significant injuries. The four players are Wall, Hayward, Cousins and Paul George. John Wall and Cousins have both suffered serious Achilles tendon injuries, while Hayward and Paul George have both suffered leg breaks. So a lot of players' careers have been tortuous. Injuries have indeed led to the premature death of many young talents. So a player staying fit is probably their greatest wish. After all, many players want to have a long and relatively healthy career like James.
