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.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      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.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      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.
