You mean he doesn't fit with Lance. He was a great fit last year with the roster we had in place. The difference is that he doesn't get his touches when Lance is in the game. Al actually went through a solid stretch this year where he was a 20-10 player again. The problem now is that he's hurt and Al is a liability when he's not 100%.

There's no sense in trading players for scraps. Both of those guys have large enough contracts where they're pretty much undesirable. You're going to have to ship out futures or you're going to get back players with longer contracts.

That's bad management.

If you're the Hornets, you just have to eat their contracts, tank, and realize that you made a mistake.

 

 

Last year he played out of his mind, no way he's doing that consistently for much longer if ever. That was the only reason he was worth didly last season, his defense is horrible and the defensive system is limited because it hides him. He's a 0 +/- guy at his best and a -6 at his normal level of play. 

 

 

So no, he didn't fit last season at all. They had to completely develop a defensive system to hide him and when you put him on the court with other no defensive players like Kemba (horrible at screens and P&r defense.) just makes matters worse.

 

 

Add in the fact that the team thought he could recreate last season, they went out and added another piece that doesn't fit on top of Henderson, Jefferson and Walker not fitting together at all. 

 

 

Last season was an albatross, making people think this was a playoff team when at best it was just like the Jackson/Wallace team. (A below .500 team, worth 1-2 trips to the playoffs as a 7th-8th seed tops.)  Only difference is that this team is tied together with worse contracts (Walker, Jefferson, Stephenson, Williams, Henderson.)
