The case for trading MKG

[bLACKpANTHER]

maybe instead of posting his offensive stats - I should start posting the offensive stats from the player he is guarding to show how "Great" of a defender he is or isn't.. smh

Held Jimmy Butler to 52 points

Incredible defense there lol. Better than 101.

[rhyslloyd]

It's time. His defense is no longer a benefit, and it certainly doesn't outweigh his offensive deficiencies.

We will never trade MKG. The best any team would offer right now is a second-round pick and we always sell those for cash so it'd be similar to just waiving him. He's too good to be waived. He just shouldn't start.

Besides, when the Hornets advertise their games on social media and radio, they won't say "Come see Kemba Walker take on so-and-so," and they won't say "Come see Nic Batum take on so-and-so"

It's always "Come see MKG take on so-and-so"

Yes, please let me buy all the tickets to a five-point, four rebound showcase of defensive prowess highlighted by his man being shut down and limited to 43 points in a 124-106 loss.. More MKG always excites the masses

No need to trade him honestly. Just wont get over the hump this year. Gordon Hayward is a potential free agent this summer and I feel like he'll pick hornets or the Celtics since his college coach is their now.

He overhelps, that's his main problem defensively. Honestly that probably Clifford to blame, it seems most of our guys overhelp.

I'm so far from being an MKG homer but this is harsh

Stacey Augmon averaged 8 points and 2 rebounds a game for his career, it's safe to say MKG is already on his level if not better.

To your credit, and his, that was a bit hyperbole on my part, lol.  But, I do think he isn't significantly better than Augmon at this point.  And although I was fairly young when Plastic Man came outnof college, there was a lot of hype surrounding him due to his athleticism and length, but it just never developed into anything.

MKG is supposedly this damn good defender that we can't let go? Harden only scored 30 last night. It's time to trade his ass away. At least, Zeller is making progress.

Harden averages 30.. MKG did what he could..

Beverly is the one that beat us last night.. but what the flip do I know.. our team is not talented enough to beat other teams in the league - it just isn't.. we have some good pieces but if you look up and down our roster compared to other teams, it isn't even close..

Harden was 8/22 from the field and had 9 turnovers. I get bitching about MKG, but using Harden's line from last night isn't the ideal way to do it.

Should have took Beal 

[bLACKpANTHER]

I just went back and forgot that Cleveland was offering us the #4, #24 and the #33 picks so they could hop over Washignton and take Beal.. We could have moved down and guess who still would have been on the board..

@4 = Waiters, Lillard, Drummond, Barnes

@24 = Miles Plumlee, Festus Ezeli
@31 = Jeffery Taylor (original pick)
@33 = Jae Crowder, Draymond Green, Kris Middleton

This draft looks more and more dreadful the more you research it.

Bull poo. There's plenty of teams out there that would be willing to throw a 1st round. NBA picks are not as valuable as NFL. Unless it's a top 5-8 picks.
