Welcome Luke Kornet, If You're Still Here....

[Vermont Green]

He averaged 35% on 4 attempts his 1st year with the Knicks and 36% on 4 his second season. When he went to Chicago his numbers just fell.

I had noticed this also when I looked up his career stats.  There is some potential in him for sure.  For a 7'-2" guy to be about 35% 3P% over two seasons, even on the Knicks, is something to build on.  Seeing him play against OKC, he moved well, saw the court well, reacted to the game well.

If he turns out to be a taller version of Grant Williams, I'd be fine with that.  We essentially traded Javonte Green for him.  The hope with a guy like this is that he will gain strength just through natural maturation, or maybe has already gained strength since his earlier days.  Like Grant, his moments of impact will likely be sporadic but he is player you will be able to put out there.  He can keep up with an NBA game and even make some things happen sometimes.  That is useful.

It's funny after the trades settled down, most on this board assumed that Wagner was the target and Kornet was a throw-in.  Now after a few games it may be the other way around.  I still like Moe's aggressive play and see him playing PF with either Rob or Luke.  I like both of our new players.

Yeah, I think both Teague and Green were "throw-outs" and both Wagner and Kornet were "throw-ins.  The players involved that have a real impact were Theis and Fournier.

We swapped some inconsequential players for a couple of taller hopefully a little more impactful players to help soften the loss of Theis a little.  I like the moves but don't expect Wagner or Kornet to change how far we go in the playoffs (Fournier might).

Kornet has sneaky athleticism

I wonder if Drummond did choose to sign with the Celtics. If Kornet would have been cut..

We may get to find out.  There are rumors swirling about the Celtics being interested in Demarcus Cousins

I'm skeptical, but I really want to make this happen.  I'd love to see him coached by Brad, to maximize his passing skills.

I think at least one of them wasn't a throw-in, most likely Wagner.  If the Celtics just wanted to move Theis to the Bulls for roster space and tax savings, and/or only wanted Kornet, they could have made a 3-way deal with Orlando as part of the Fournier and Vucevic trades.  The Bulls sent out enough salary in the Vooch deal to add in Theis without sending any additional salary.  So the Celtics didn't need to jump into the Washington deal except to get Wagner, and once the teams went that route, the Bulls needed to add another player as well (Kornet) to make the salaries work.

I am not sure how I would feel about it.  I am certain it would be a talent upgrade, but I think Timelord has earned his minutes and his time on the floor should be maximized.  I worry that having Cousins and Thompson will cause RWIII to lose his minutes, which is not in the best interest of the team.  Kornet and Wagner bring a different dimension to the game (long range shooting), so they are natural compliments to RWIII.  I would much prefer to bring in a wing or a combo forward via the buyout market (i.e. Otto Porter).

Cousins looked pretty bad last couple of games I saw him play for Rockets.

He's looked bad for a while now, when I've seen him. He can still put up some numbers but I'm not sure how much he really effects an NBA game at this point.

DMC is a better outside shooter than any big on our roster.

I’d take Kornet in that contest over DMC

[Goldstar88]

Kornet with another solid game. In 13 mins he had 10pts, 4reb while shooting 4-6 from the field and 2-4 from deep. He’s looked better than Wagner on both ends. Hope the C’s stick with him.

[Tr1boy]

Thx Bilen whoever he is for making these highlights

Two games... but Kornet is a joy to watch

He should have got more mins tonight. Everytime he was on the court with Pritchard. The deficit shrunk/tie game.

10 pts vs Pelicans
