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.
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.
I think the hornets will make more than one move at the TDL. What they get for Rozier, Bridges, PJW, Richards, Hayward. Tons of cap space in the summer and picks.
A PJW swap for Gwill is just part of the total rebuild process. (I don’t know what their opinion of Gwill is or their valuation of PJW) all of this is assumption. Maybe the difference is a SRP. Even so, I make the trade. Obviously it’s a no if it’s a FRP or anything crazy.
