Nick Richards Traded to the Suns


Recommended Posts

Im not follow much, but I thought Richards was what you need from your backup C?

 

soooooo tired, after years of not taking the preseason hype, I bite some this year and same old BS losing with trading guys I thought can play and were developed.

Starting C Mark Williams scored 31 and had 13 rebounds last night.

Starting SG Josh Green scored 3 points.

Okogie is a lockdown defensive player who hustles (we need both!) and will likely replace Green in the starting lineup.

Most folks think we won this one significantly, I’m hopeful we did.

I mean somebody can try and justify this trade but this franchise is run by clowns.  Richard’s was a young big who has finally started to turn the corner and be a very good piece and these morons trade him for a backup guy averaging 6 pts.  I don’t think I could care less about the Hornets at this point.

I thought Center was already our weakest position in terms of depth. So let's trade one of the best backup centers in the league. But thank goodness for some future second round picks

On the surface I can agree given our depth and years long void at Center trading Richards looks like it could be yet another Hornets mistake. But is it also possible maybe his talent level and overall value is being overstated? There's still a lot to be known about this trade we'll just have to wait and see.

    • lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

    • Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
