The Charlotte Hornets are expected to sign F Aleksej Pokusevski, sources tell ESPN. The Oklahoma City Thunder waived him this week. Pokusevski was the 17th overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft.

?s=20

Interested to see who they waive. Obvious choice is Bolden but that leaves them tiny again.
I mean I get Poku is tall, but can he play center effectively?

bye Thor (guess)

We basically got the Thunder's bench for Gordo

i'm enjoying these new owners. this all feels different.

i forgot about Bolden

I endorse being the Eastern conference affiliate of the OKC Thunder.

Hilarious.

its been real Thor, you always had a great name

Bolden was signed to 10 day on 20th so his contract is only good for a few more days.

I also won't pretend like this something I think will work haha... me a few days ago.

I don't like Thor, but at least he plays defense.

it's worth a chance. we know thor sucks. poku probably sucks too, but no harm in giving him a fresh start to show if he's worth keeping. his upside is certain higher than thor.

Did it get announced Thor is gone? or is that just everyone speculation?

The Charlotte Hornets the thunder edition! I like it, and stated a few days back that we should give him a look. If he can be a serviceable role player something thor isn't, this is a win! Hes still 22, maybe he just needed a change of scenery. I'll also take the thunders scraps on comparison our old scraps I'm a second! We had 4 or t guys that shouldn't even be sniffing the hardwood. Atleast these thunder players were around a good culture and on a winning team. I'll take it 10 times out of 10. Especially with Mann and poku, we get some young guys with potential who just never got much of a chance.

Panthers : Bills :: Hornets : Thunder

New owners are killin it

Is there a former OKC FO guy with ties to the new ownership from their time in Atlanta or somewhere? Glad to see Poku getting a shot in any case, hope he has better luck staying healthy with a fresh start.

speculation. i havent seen anything official. will prob be bolden.

Pokusevski is Serbian, like Micic. Maybe that has something to do with it

The OKC Hornets are back.

He averaged 8/5/2 and 1.3 blocks on 43/36/63 last season before fracturing his leg.

So he's at least better than Thor. Had a big game against Boston too.
