    Poki isn't athletic or coordinated and he can't shoot 3s. He makes Bolbol look like a fusion between Wemby and Chet. OKc waived him because he isn't every good.

    Please sign him and Kai so these thoughts will go away after they're released in a few weeks..

    Who is better, exactly? Guys in the 14th and 15th spots on 2 ways are not better.

    Jeff Green is 6'7"....

    Boban is a joke, Landale is a joke, neither are NBA level players anymore - or rotation players and could be jettisoned to look at others.

    I mean if you are going to try to make a point, at least make a good one.

    Is a career 38.7% FG dude not enough? Also he is not even listed as Center, just a giant Power Forward.

    Basically a PF who cannot shoot.

    Basically a 15th man.........so if you are arguing for a 15th man and wait till the offseason and there should be better options.

    But those guys are still way better than poku. Just because they’re garbage doesn’t mean he’s better, because he’s not. He’s basically a worse version of nix except he’s tall

    I lean on the side of him being a sort of intriguing player despite his issues, but we're not the team for him. Should be either a team in a heavy rebuild who is taking chances on guys (Wizards, Pistons, Spurs, Blazers) or a very top heavy team that has no depth. We're in between those, too many guys that I'd rather give minutes to and we don't have an incentive to tank

    It always amazes me why people don't want to take a chance to get better or try something new. Especially if its not costing anything asset wise

    Boban and Landale are unplayable. And if our weakest position is the center position.... you wouldn't want to at leadt give a FORMER 1ST ROUND PICK a chance??

    Sure Kai and Alexsej was on the Rocket's draft board somewhere

    Everyone but us is proactive.

    Stone can go eat a bag of dicks.

    I believe it's a good idea to turn over the bottom of your roster from time to time if there is either a need or they aren't showing anything. This team has both, and unless I am mistaken, there have been exactly no changes made since opening day, aside from adding Aquaman, who can't even play this year. Am I forgetting someone? There is a lot of fat on this roster. I don't think Pokusevski was the guy, but there has to be someone better out there that could help this team.

    Has Stone brought anybody in on a 10 - day contract since he's been GM???

    I just don't understand his philosophy

    If you have a WEAKNESS you try and fix it by bringing other players in to see if they fit

    Listen, this is the same team that waived Kai Jones. So if they were wrong for that, what are the odds they're right about this? I actually suspect they were right with Kai and wrong with Poku because this is the Charlotte Hornets.
