I think we should keep Wilcox. Considering what the market is this summer...be smart Bower...make a good financial decision...don't give him more than 2 years.

So Chandler declines to over 8 boards a game and he is trash. Wilcox has hit that mark maybe once in his career for a season and he is a beast? He also gets manhandled in the post. He is not a good defender. I do think he has potential offensively and would be a real nice backup. If he played decent defense, he would be an adequate starter.Originally Posted by truck man
and then at the end of the year we let him go, along with smithOriginally Posted by truck man
and next year we have no chandler, wilcox, or smith
so do yall think that wilcox will become a better player from being on a better team?
those TC basketballs they gave away at the Bulls game are collectors' items now!
I think many are surprised as it is very rare for a contending team to dump salary at the deadline. They are usually looking to add valuable pieces for a stretch run, not looking to dump their starting center to save salary.Originally Posted by UNO Gracias
He's not on a better team.Originally Posted by chubbs91
The Thunder have had a better record than the Hornets of late and I'm pretty sure it will continue for the next 4-5 seasons at least.
I want to know why we couldn't dump Ely on the Thunder in this deal! He and Wilcox look a lot alike actually...
Wilcox is younger than TC, and has never had the luxury of playing on a team of this calaber. Keep dogging the kid.

Wrong! They're the same age, Chandler is technically younger.Originally Posted by UNO Gracias
So he's not on a better team??? Yea whatever.Originally Posted by Eleven79
Don't get it twisted fam, OKC is building a nice young squad but the Hornets have better coaching, mindset, and a better core of players.
Idk what's wrong with people today.

The fact that we have lost lately has nothing to do with us missing the whopping 8 ppg , 8 boards (from a center is pathetic) and 1 block per game that TC brought.
you are delusionalOriginally Posted by UNO Gracias
we wouldn't save any money that way, which goes agianst the whole point of this deal
yeah i know.Originally Posted by UNO Gracias
Quoted for the truth.Originally Posted by HORNETSFAN
lol maybe i'm looking at it the wrong way plus i'm biased for my team but think about it like this. Both players are averging 8 points a game....Wilcox is averaging 3 less rebounds. They're the same exact age. Chandler has the obvious advantage with Paul and other superior players on the court. Wilicox's production will likely go up....plus we get 2 other bigs in the trade. If they play well the next couple months, then the Hornets should go ahead and resign them next season. I don't see such a drastic drop off here.
