Kai Jones is averaging 16.6 pts 11.5 rpg and 1 apg in the g league.

Nick Richards averaged 17 pts 10.3 rpg and 3 blks in the g league.

What Vern did seems to be about average and easily replaceable.

Ready to see these young bigs get their chance on the big stage

Harrell is who I wished we had watching him destroy us around the rim whenever we played Washington. He is superior to Plumblee. Harrell isn't afraid to put up the ball when he gets it down low. How many times does Plumblee pass it back outside? This is a great trade.

.500 team, 6 game losing streak, in desperate need of an actual NBA big, and we trade away a 6’9 developmental center and a 2nd rd pick for a 6’7 center small ball rotational piece which we kind of already had in PJ Washington. I just don’t get it. We’re marginally better in the short term maybe but what are we competing for this year anyways? A first round playoff exit?

We got a *basketball player* that is arguably the best BIG on this roster right now.  And we gave up next to nothing.  

He just turned 28 so hopefully we can re-sign him this off-season; he’ll make a huge difference to these younger dudes.

The Hornets can’t afford not the make the playoffs this year. The pick we gave up for Kai has its’ heaviest protection this year. The following years the protection continues to dwindle. In a perfect world we make the playoffs and convey the 19th or 20th pick to New York.

Carey may well become a 10/10 guy but what separates him from Richards and Jones? Someone had to go and it was him. Not to mention, freeing up his cap space allows for more room for Bridges.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      lol well that kinda ended up working out in the end, even though I still don't have my jersey yet. Was supposed to ship by tomorrow this time, but just got another email saying it was delayed another 3 weeks and because it's been delayed so long, I had to tell them to keep the order or cancel it, but gave me a 25% off my next order as an apology. Well, my original fear came true and they are now selling the FUSE version (but still not the Blue unfortunately) before the one I ordered was ever shipped. But that's awesome, because I was able to use that coupon to order the FUSE instead and then cancelled the original order.  So I got the jersey I wanted for only $6.30 more than the crappier version costs, and it also says it will be shipped immediately and get here early next week, or 2 weeks before the other was now supposed to be shipped out.

      I've watched this and think we are well underway.  Believe it or not, Bryce is a big part of this.  The way he bounced back with such grace.  And we've got a lot of young players who want to make their mark, Dave is giving them an opportunity.  I loved our draft.  I like the number of guys we brought in, and they will help build the culture we want under Dave.  We're getting closer, and I think we'll see more wins this year than most of the board. The right culture breeds winning, and winning builds the right culture.  Imho, it's coming.

      As others have said it's both. One creates the other. But it also takes time sometimes years. And there have been teams lately with new car smell coaching staffs that looked like they were putting it together quickly but things came crashing back down to Earth. Sustainability is the key. For that to happen the meddling of our owners has to stop and they cannot be tempted to return to their ways over any bump in the road either.
