Troy will probably go on IR tomorrow when the team makes their cut to 85 

--Waived, he hasn't earned the right to IR.  If he were a day 1 or day2 selection, maybe.  While I wanted a CB where he was drafted in the 4th round, Pride himself was not high on my radar.

He was a 2020 draft choice and has 3 years remaining on a 4 year contract.  He’s not some tryout player.  He will go on IR

Day 3 draftees are barely more valuable than UDFAs.  If the staff comes across someone that can come in and have an impact now, a 4th round draftee means little.

He’s still under contract for 3 more seasons with 2 million in dead money if we waive him.  Putting him on IR frees up a roster spot and costs us only his 974k salary.  Makes zero sense to waive him

Actually he only counts about 200k versus the cap, but frees up nearly 800k.  Peanuts if we find a suitable replacement.

      Honestly I haven no idea what I would have even done last night, Edgecomb was the most realistic option to improve our team

      He doesn't have the athleticism to play in the NBA. He had the worst numbers of anyone who worked out in this draft. He's legitimately the least athletic player in this draft, which is saying something.   His ceiling is Kyle Korver, with his lack of athleticism he's more likely to be out of the league in 5-6 years like Jimmer Fredette.

      Well, he was in probably every NBA franchise's top 6 or 7. Obviously it's nice to take the swing and it work out. But when a guy refuses to work out for your team, is probably the guy refusing to play with LaMelo, has sketchy handlers, etc.? You want...to take that swing? A desperate team does, sure. Which the Hornets are. But a smart team doesn't. Which is what they will hopefully become.  Kon isn't a superstar, but his floor is Kyle Korver. Is that what you want in the 4th pick? Not really, but he's your 4th guy on a good team and what I think Charles Lee wants in a player.  Trade down would've been nice, but for who? Tre Johnson would've been my guy, but he's gone if we trade with Brooklyn. If Washington wanted Ace, I doubt it would've taken much to come get him. Trade down and get Maluach (knowing you're trading Mark) would make sense and may have been the play, but I think Kon helps the team on the court and changing a culture. Not so sure about some of the guys in the 8-12 range.
