I accept

I approve.

Having spoke to the Grizz to get a bit more out of him about why he would do this trade, it is fair enough.

Personally, I think he could have got a bit more out of the Hornets, maybe dumping one or 2 of the multi year waived deals he has. But, so be it. I can see the risk and future reward Brandon Knight presents. Probably the player in the league with the most "ifs" around him though. If he comes back from the ACL well. If he gets a role on the Suns. If he can produce. If he does everything, is he still worth a re-sign? Hard to say.

Meanwhile, I really like the deal from the Hornets. To dump $16m is a brilliant result. Knight wasn't helping this year. He drops that $8m down to just $2.5m. Although it is very weird to see the Hornets not beginning to manoeuvre for post new year tank party.

Hornets is making moves to improve the current state of his team, which I'm pretty sure is one of the signs of the apocalypse, but the deal makes sense so I guess I approve.

[Dallas Mavericks]

Trade passed.
