Do you think modern NBA players show enough creativity?

@SportsWithJay0 76ers won't win the East

NBA stats are dangerous...
You look up one player to settle an argument and 20 minutes later you're comparing players from 1987 that nobody even mentioned.
There is no such thing as “just checking one stat”.

Taj Gibson's time in New Orleans lasted just hours.

The Pelicans have waived the 41-year-old after acquiring him from Memphis in the Jordan Hawkins trade.

The move helps clear the way for Bennedict Mathurin's arrival, while AJ Johnson will stay for a training camp opportunity.

The trade makes a lot more sense now.

The Hornets have signed Bez Mbeng and waived Kobe Stewart.

@wavytalkhoops Luka and Jokic for me

[Lean Edge Sports @LeanEdgeSports]

Signed today. Waived tomorrow.

It sounds brutal, but in the NBA it can actually be part of the plan.

Charlotte's recent roster churn is a perfect example of how Exhibit 10 contracts really work.

So what does the player actually get, and is the system fair?

We took a closer look 👇

The Hornets have signed Kobe Stewart and waived Jarkel Joiner.

It continues a rapid run of roster moves in Charlotte, with Joiner himself having only just replaced Kyle Mangas.
