Won't be able to amnesty Tyrus until after this season anyway.

Which is fine by me. If Warrick plays great then amnesty/trade Tyrus and pick up his (Warrick's) TO. If he doesn't, amnesty/trade Tyrus and don't pick it up.

Literally a no lose scenario unless you count the women who came to games only to watch him

exactly my thoughts. what could NO be thinking. i think there is a half million $ difference, but NO is no where near LT.

Great trade.

If being named captain gets you traded, then I think Gana is captain material.

All about moving chess pieces and further acknowledgement that Tyrus brings as much spring to the team as a bowling ball at a beach ball contest. Wish the best for Matt, hopefully his family makes Charlotte a permanent home.

Just been on the Hornets board and they pretty much accept warrick is better, but wasn't going to play with their front court. The don't want him eating into AD and Anderson's minutes. Also with Gordon out they are weak at the guard position.

So it truth it's scrub guard for scrub forward

Rather than

Scrub 3,5 mil for scrub 4 mil

just ordered my new warrick jersey

I just pictured somebody painting a bowling ball to look like a beach ball, taking it to a football game, and throwing it into the crowd.



And I giggled

While i do understand that this trade is by no means a major move thats gonna make us a playoff team or anything...It does once again prove that we hands down have the right GM...the fact that we can trade Matt Carroll ( who i thought we not only couldnt give away to a team but prob couldnt have given him away and paid his entire salary ) for a quality backup PF/ SF in Warrick , who can give us 10-15 minutes a game..is 1 hell of a move by Cho....Carroll had zero chance of ever seeing the court the entire season...with Warrick we get a guy who plays well around the basket and can finish around the basket...as well as a guy who can be somewhat of a presense down low on D with his long arms and ability to block shots....overall its a very good move by the Cats and even if its not by much it does improve our team....and the icing on the cake is the fact that they both expire after this year and basically make the same amount of $$....its a win win !!!

AWESOME TRADE! I will always love Hakim for this moment:
