Pose was in one heck of a shooting slump over the past few weeks, which probably contributed to their anxiety over him, but in general I think he's been a positive for the Hornets. Plus he shot pretty well yesterday, so the slump may be over. It's really the rest of the Hornets that have surprised me with how... not great they are. They aren't really bad, per se. They just somehow don't seem as much of a threat as they were last year.
Do I think they'll trade him? Probably not-his contract will be hard to move. Would I, as a sentimental armchair GM, trade for him to get him back on the Cs? Heck yeah.
