Could signing Okung mean that both Daley and Moton are sliding inside?

Right now - have Greg Little compete with Chris Reed, Dennis Daley, Tyler Larsen at LG (Steve Smith said last week Little was a better OG prospect than LT)   

Don't be surprised if we now re-sign Daryl Williams and put him at RG permanently.  We could also go after a guy like Kelechi Osemele on a 1-year deal.

Too early to decide if Little is a guard or tackle. He played 4 games all year. But you are right in thinking he won't be starting at LT this year unless injuries hit again. I think Williams is gone and likely replaced by another free agent who will be picked up this spring. I doubt we draft any offensive positions high.

Moton is better suited as a OG.  When he was coming out, some projected him as a guard.  Moton is a road grater whose attributes are best suited inside.

I agree with this. But Okung is at the end of his career. He’s been injured a lot and I doubt he plays much past 33. This was a strange trade to me but Steve Smith did say that the Panthers OL is a big problem for Rhule bc his system is based on quick twitch OL. We basically had a bunch of road graters at every position...so maybe RO is the first step to solidify and show younger guys coming up how to play in this system.

My first thoughts on the trade were that maybe Turner isnt exactly built for the style were gonna try to run under brady.  Remember, Norwell was an all pro, left the system, and then jaguar fans wanted him cut because he didnt exactly fit what they were trying to do.

I don't understand the logic.

Who would play RT in this scenario?

Moton and Daley are the only players on our team with RT experience. Little only ever played on the left side and he's coming off severe injuries and looked downright bad when he was actually on the field. Daley too.

We would draft a future LT to play RT year one. Then move him over after this year.

Why do that when we already have a perfectly capable RT in Moton available right now?

It just seems counterproductive and adding an extra step/variable into the O-line equation. 

Moton is a known commodity at RT, and he's good at it. Why make RT weaker just to make RG just as strong as it was last year if it's easier to replace RG than RT?

Add into that, playing LT and RT are like shooting free throws or wiping your ass with the opposite hand. Sure you can kind of do it, but if you haven't been practicing then you'll be at a distinct disadvantage and look worse than you might actually be due to inexperience. 

It just doesn't make sense to me.

      Charlotte Hornets Offseason Moves

      By jfra78 · Posted

      Bleacher Report trade and mock has us trading to 9 and picking SG Brayden Burries Charlotte Hornets recieve: Kyrie Irving and No. 9 pick Dallas Mavericks receive: LaMelo Ball, No. 14 pick and No. 18 pick The Hornets just finished their sixth season with Ball. It was only their second with a winning record, their sixth without a playoff trip and the sixth in which someone else paced them in win shares (Kon Knueppel this time around). While they'd surely like to keep building on their second-half momentum, maybe they're just unconvinced that Ball can lead a winning team. Maybe they credit that stretch run less to him and more to the addition of Knueppel, the ascension of Brandon Miller and some out-of-nowhere gains on the defensive end.   Charlotte should be dreaming big right now, and perhaps it believes a steadier hand at point guard is needed to realize that. Or maybe it feels it needs a little more time to bring everything together and thinks that task would be simpler without Ball's money on the books and with a top-10 pick in a loaded draft instead of two selections in the mid-teens.   Either way, this shakeup works. Short-term, a healthy Irving should be far easier to follow than Ball. You may not always know if Irving is playing, but you know what you'll get if he does: elite shotmaking, all-time handles, offensive ingenuity and the ability to work both on and off the ball. He could show this young roster what's required to win for a year or two (he has a $42.4 million player option for 2027-28) or even stick around longer if the partnership proves especially fruitful.   The Hornets also add a building block in Burries, who offers both plug-and-play polish and flashes of shot-creation that hint at star potential. In short, they could better their chances of winning both now and in the future while collecting both the best player in the trade and the highest draft pic

      I'd hire him in a heartbeat. Hell if he wanted the job, I'd have Canales packing his poo right now and I don't dislike Canales. It's just that firing a 106-58 coach is crazy work. That's a 65% winning percentage. That's the equivalent of averaging 11 wins a season. That's incomprehensible for a fanbase That's never experienced back to back winning seaons.
