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.

      This is about getting open and YAC....and the QB we have.  You basically are just highlighting average depth when targeted vs 2 players. .  And yeah, I often say AT is a small slow reliable TE in terms of what he does for us.   That's what he is.   I think a couple of you want to make this into a Renfrow argument.   I'm a Renfrow fan.  Renfrow does not check the box of what a BY O needs either at the slot.  Renfrow just a niche roleplayer at this level.  it's easy to look up how horrific AT is with the ball in his hands and in terms of getting open.....and it's also easy to look up what a low ceiling of an offense the steady AT diet produces w/ BY.

      The one time he's actively tried to lose was the best we've ever done.

      I simply acknowledge BY is the QB.  And just like we did when we drafted him.....the type O you would need to setup around him for success was always pretty simple.  But we have done virtually the opposite.  XL dropping some passes isn't why we were ranked the 32nd O and 30th passing the past 2 years.  *Ricky Prohel was brought up only in regards to role function he served on the team.  Niche/specialist.   He wasn't eating up the snaps in the O.    AT should have a similar snap %. People could MAUL Ricky Prohel and put hands all over him.   We got to the Super Bowl in part because we were mauling guys (our slot CB).   You can't do that now.  AT has a MUCH easier life and still can't get open.  Or run.    If you live in 3 WR sets, with a weak armed QB, and you choose to put someone who can't get open or run in the slot.......well, your are going to have a weak pass O.  That's by design IMO.
