CHA/POR - super boring swap

[jbk1234]

Ya RWIII is uniquely unreliable but I still take the chance he gives 25+ games as an excellent backup over PC who would be 4th string at both SG and SF.

But why would Portland give him those minutes when they have two different centers to develop?

POR is trying to win with this roster. Yang may be a couple years away yet.

Ideally, Portland would love to see Yang have a redshirt season for he could use some time adjusting
to a new country and learning English.

Gives him some practice time with coach Splitter and minutes on the G league team which will help later
in the season when TL invariably gets hurt

Clingan is good for 24-30 minutes, but will have some nights where he is in foul trouble. I don't think Yang will play big minutes and will pick up a lot of fouls. That's why Portland needs a third center because they will likely play most nights. It probably won't be big minutes (I pray)

Williams is more valuable to Portland as future expiring than a dump

You said it yourself, the Hornets give up nothing for hopefully a productive center. That hope alone means Cha owes
