We'd be so much wiser to just wait until the offseason and trade more draft capital for an actual good player like Jerami Grant.
I hate the PJ Washington trade. I think PJ Washington looked like a good player with a bright future a few years ago. He has since lost his ability to hit the 3 and no longer tries on defense. He's bigger than Grant Williams. He has long arms. I can't say a lot of other nice things about him. He's below average on offense and defense. I hate this particular trade. Maybe he'll be rejuvenated on a better team. Maybe he'll decide to try on defense. We might luck out.
We were swindled by the Hornets. Top-2 protection is worse than any scenario I thought was actually possible. I thought lottery-protection was the worst possible outcome. Mark Cuban dived beneath my lowest expectations.
