They do that move after trading three second rounders and Josh Okogie for Nick Richards. Yeah. If they did that move before trading Okoge for Nick Richards, and they just reversed the moves, then they probably, because they were already talking to Charlotte about Nurkic, and they ended up trading Charlotte to Nurkic and expirings, who were just there because they're expirings.

So they traded three seconds for Nick Richards. Then they traded one of the firsts to get off of Nurkic and bring back expirings. But if they had done it in reverse and they'd gotten the firsts first, then they could just attach one of the firsts to Nurkic, which maybe would be enough to bring back an expiring and Nick Richards.

And if it's not, maybe throw in a second rounder or something like that. And then not only are you keeping two second round picks that you had to give up or one second round pick maybe that you had to give up, You're also holding on to Josh Akogi, who you signed to an $8.3 million contract before this season with the purpose of trading him in a deal that you traded for Nick Richards.

So now you can attach what's remaining, maybe another first round pick, maybe all the seconds, maybe some of the seconds. You can attach those to Akogi and you can make another move for a player who makes less than $8.3 million. So I feel like they did it backwards. I feel like they rushed to get Nick Richards. They were like, we cannot survive another second without Nick Richards.

And if they just hadn't rushed to get Nick Richards, who has been fine, but is a backup center, then they could have made out with more total. They could have traded Okoge for something else if they wanted to.

Well, P.J. Washington was like wallowing in Charlotte and we didn't know what kind of habits he would bring once he left Charlotte. Right. It was like, is he actually not a defender? Is he actually like a sometimes defender or is this just the circumstances around him? And it's really hard for somebody to shine when they're in a losing situation like that.

Turns out he went there and he was, he was in a winning situation. He made out well. So I'm not a hundred percent confident in this prediction. However, I do feel like all these signifiers are there. And I'm going to say Mark Williams is the guy who best exemplifies this. The Lakers gave up a lot for Mark Williams. I don't blame Charlotte at all for doing that trade. They got an unprotected first.

Yeah, they got an unprotected first. They got a swap. They got Dalton Connect out of it, who could be a nice scorer moving forward. That was a good move. For Charlotte, that was a really good move when Mark Williams struggles to stay healthy. His defensive effort is very questionable. And he's extension eligible this summer.
