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?

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.

Re: Pokusevski to Hornets per Woj
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.

Re: Pokusevski to Hornets per Woj
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.

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.

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

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.
