Perfect centre for their guards to get open.

Hope he does well and enjoys the playoffs

He's not super quick laterally.

He's not a rim protector.

So no?

He's a pretty good post defender though, he does leave it all out there and throws himself around.

He also does a great job pissing opposing bigs off as well.

He is a defensive center I think, but he'll struggle against bigger centers. He's good at defending perimeter based centers though, he shut down Chris Bosh a few times.

He also sets great screens on offense. Very likable too, good for the locker room.

We might still have the LaMelo whisperer:

More seriously this is definitely the end of an era. Cody has always been a professional and gave us a lot of good years. I hope he does well in Portland.

My wife is a little upset, but it would have been worse had I not warned her ahead of time.

Farewell, Snowflake.

I think he will finish his Hornets career with the most elbows to the face of any Charlotte NBA player ever.

We should have resigned him for vet minimum. It's the least he could have done as the last of the generation of overpaid, underachieving draft picks we gave too much to.
