Why are we worried about fixing anything? We are 3-4 and sinking and we haven’t even gotten to the hard part of our schedule.

Nobody is giving up anything notable for AJ Bouye.  At best, he would get us a 6th round pick, and even that is a stretch.  Why would a team trade anything worth having, just so they could have Bouye for ~8 games?

This is what some of you guys never seem to understand.  If trading guys on the last year of their contract was that easy, then every team would be rushing to do it.  You guys overstate how much Donte Jackson would get us back in a trade too.  He's on the last year of his deal.  At best, a contending team might trade a 4th for him, but it ain't like he's some elite superstar.  He's a solid corner who teams would wait to bid on when free agency hits.  So even a 4th probably isn't something teams are calling us to offer.

He is under contract for next season. I think he has been decent so far this year.

Bouye has been great and I like him for us.  Donte before overpaying would be smart.

Chinn, Bouye & Taylor have been the glue for us in the secondary.

Gonna be very interesting to see where they decide to allocate money in the secondary moving forward.  I think there is a real possibility of us re-signing Gilmore assuming he comes in and balls out the rest of the season.  So, we would then have Gilmore, Horn and Taylor as our 3 main CBs, which, from a financial perspective anyways, makes the most sense to me.  If we're going to be handing out a big money extension to a CB they're gonna have to choose between Donte and Gilmore.  Too many holes on this team to pay them both big bucks, especially considering the draft capital we've thrown at the position recently.  Hell, I wouldnt be upset with Horn, Taylor and Boyue next year honestly.

Understandable Fitterer would want significant compensation. Bouye had been an excellent free agent acquisition and has a favorable contract (signed 2yr $7 million deal in April) 

 

He came in and took over that DB room right away. Both DJ, and AJ paid him numerous compliments early on. The guy fits right in.

    • With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.
    • Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.
    • Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
