He has a place, but agree we’d be even more sick had the Hornets traded up for him. Castle? Man he was the prize in this group.

If we get the 1st or 2nd pick I'd actually trade LaMelo to Houston for Eason, Sheppard, Whitmore, and picks. Time to improve this team's rotation and LaMelo can't stay healthy and hasn't matured anyway. Flagg, Miller, Williams, Eason, Whitmore, Sheppard, Salaun (big ?) is a solid young core

it's already way too late. any trade involving him he'll be treated like Anthony Bennett, a salary filler thrown into a larger trade, and then that team can pretend he was "traded for Kevin Love"

Really think Peterson is going to turn on his first pick after 1 year? I can't see him owning up to this major mistake so early.

Considering most of our fanbase still doesn’t think it’s a mistake, I doubt the GM will own up to it yet. Maybe he can browse some defensive EPM stats to cope

I’ve obviously made my feelings known on him but if he is ever gonna be a player he’ll need to play. What is the point of even playing Jeffries? Why not let the kid soak up minutes until he messes up?
I felt bad for him. He played well for his standards.
