Details still being worked out....stay tuned!

Looks like we got Green for facilitating the sign and trade of Klay Thompson to Dallas and only gave up two second round picks.

Nice piece of business.

Works for me!

I've seen so much negative response to this deal.  We gave up 2 second round picks (basically nothing) for a 23-yr old who shoots 38-40% from 3, is an above average defender, started half the year last year, has Finals experience.  This is a young, inexpensive, great shooting, high-upside role playing guard....isn't that something we need?

I would guess fans want more of a splash move in free agency.  I like the move but it’s fairly clear that we aren’t a desired destination for better FAs

Yeah - why would we be?  The NBA is all about Superteams and Championship runs.  None of the splash guys are going to go here until we hit a few stars to build around.  LaMelo and BMiller aren't big enough....and Bridges' future is uncertain.  1 Star won't get us a deep playoff run....probably an appearance and 1st round exit.

I love the Green trade. I think people will be surprised at how well he does with a bigger role in Charlotte. I’d honestly pencil him in as the starting two guard.

So far we’ve added Green and Jackson and lost Curry (who apparently they want back), Thor, and Bailey.

1 - LaMelo Ball, Vasilije Micic, Tre Mann, K.J. Simpson

2 - Josh Green, Reggie Jackson, Nick Smith Jr., Bryce McGowens

3 - Brandon Miller, Cody Martin, Aleksej Pokusevski, Leaky Black

4 - Miles Bridges, Grant Williams, Tidjane Salaun, Davis Bertans

5 - Mark Williams, Nick Richards, Marques Bolden

There’s still moves to be made and it’s likely that Bertans, McGowens and maybe even Pokusevski are waived as all three have non-guaranteed contracts.

Well, there was that one time when we got Johnny Newman.

Isn’t Bridges a FA?
