I think patience is to often mistaken for sitting idle and not doing anything. My expectation is for FO to also work hard on the summer potentials and to have a clear target(s). I want them to create opportunity. Good front offices do that and succeed. Bad ones are trading for meh players. And not succeeding to do a good trade in the summer would mean that this front office didn't do their job.
Making a meh trade just because they are affraid nothing will be around in the summer, is not a sign of a good FO. Meh trade is trading 2027 for anything that is not a clear starter level player, basically third best guy on a team.

Like the other poster pointed out about PJW status on the hornets. A change of scenery for both could be best for everyone.
Charlotte is not in win now mode. They are in gathering assets mode. I think they would have zero interest in straight up trade. And even if they would think there is hope in GW, why would they admit that loudly? Simple fact is they would be trading a better player.
