Oh and Jo Ingles trolling Paul George, that was great.

Yeah, I miss those 25 pount outburst for 4 straight games then 11 for 80 shooting thr next 6. Miles is the better player.

That being said I've always like PJ as a player and he should still be here.

This is is the perfect series for PJ. He was dreadful in the Clippers series against George. OKC doesn’t have a player that can match up with him. Ironically they really needed a PJ type and should have paid more than Dallas for him and now they lost two straight games because they left him open.

Should Dallas advance he’s gonna have bad series again against MPJ/Gordon or KAT/Reid.

Kind of unreal that PJ shot more than Doncic and Kyrie

Many Hornets fans dogged on PJ and dubbed him a bench player. I've always considered him a third option on a playoff team (granted the Mavs #1 & #2 options ahead of PJ make them a different kind of playoff team).

The good news is, Miles Bridges is a better player, than PJ Washington so Miles is also a #3 option on a playoff team.

Nobody can change my mind about that. I'm thankful for Miles as a third option. LaMelo and Miller have a long way to go. Theoretically, Hornets have a crack at a high end starter this draft, benevolent lottery Gods willing.

I would love for Borrego to get another shot at a decent head coaching job. I think he showed more positive than negative in his time in Charlotte and I still think he might be head coach material in this league.

The PJ trade is still ultimately fine because they got good value, but he was always a good player and the team is worse off not having him on the roster.

Reddick is SO right for this Lakers pending dumpster fire. He actually might help them this upcoming season (to keep LeBron and mold some semblance of a playoff team) but the ultimate rebuild afterward will be a major test of his prowess. He’s got the media chops and modern potty mouth. Borrego may be a better choice but Bron will make the decision for his buddy.
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

Lebron settles for MJ's seconds, internet explodes ... er, nope. JJ over the sensible (read: somewhat proven) choice then.

If Redick is the Lakers pick, that basically means LeBron is the player coach.

Everyone is a stretch.

I’m not surprised at all, he’s a great fit for them as he’s also happy not shooting the ball.

I think grant is a better fit for charlotte

I think fans can of both teams can love PJ for the Mavs while loving Grant for the Hornets.

The heist is the lightly protected (top-2) first round pick Hornets pried. Mavs paid a premium because they considered PJ a missing piece.

Grant is captain of the defense and clubhouse leader, so I consider him somewhat of a missing piece in his own right.

PJ let it get to his head, he shot way too much and was awful in the 4th quarter
