Biz and Willy should start. Zeller off the bench. Frank gets traded away

Honestly, I feel like both Frank and MKG are on the block. I would still start Zeller due to his screens and ability to switch. Our second unit also is lacking on defense bc assuming Lamb starts and Monk is 6th man, a second unit of Parker & Monk will not be that good at stopping dribble drives and would need Biz to protect the rim.

Not a bad trade.

Biyombo replaces Howard as the rim proctor that the Hornets seem to be infatuated with and he also has chemistry with some of the guys on roster.

Not sure if anyone followed the Magic last year but Vucevic was hurt for a month or so and they gave Biyombo some starts.

When Biyombo averaged 20+ minutes a game he was averaging 10.5 points and 8.4 rebounds (someone needs to fact check me on this but I believe my math is correct).

Agree, this is not a bad move.  We weren't going to us Mozgov..at all.  

Next steps are obvious:

 

Prophecy: Trade Kemba & Lamb to the Blazers for Harkless & McCollum, add Zion+Draymond Green will eventually take us to the promised land. 

2019: Parker-McCollum-Zion-Green-Zeller, 2nd unit Graham-Monk-Bacon-Bridges-Hernnn will lead us to the promised land.

It appears that Kupchak values second round picks more than Cho did as Biyombo is coming over along with two additional second rounders.

Since Kupchak took over, the Hornets have acquired a 2018 2nd round pick (Hamidou Diallo, who was later traded away), two 2019 2nd round picks, two 2020 2nd round picks, and two 2021 2nd round picks.

The Hornets did trade one of their own 2019 2nd round picks along with a 2023 2nd round pick for Graham, but obviously Kupchak decided to recoup the 2019 pick.

It looks like Kupchak may like having two 2nd rounders so he can package them to move up higher into the second round to get a faller (i.e. Graham).

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
