On February 11, Beijing time, the NBA trade deadline, the Hornets and wizards reached a 3-for-1 deal, the Hornets sent Kerry, Ismail Smith and a future second round pick, they got Harrell from the Wizards. For the Hornets, getting players like Harrell is undoubtedly an improvement in the depth and strength of the team's roster, and the Wizards' poor record this season, they exchanged Harrell for a 20-year-old Carey and a second-round pick, and the deal is also helpful for the team's future rebuilding.
Harrell's performance was not bad after being traded to the Wizards this season, especially at the beginning of the season, Harrell got 20+10 statistics in quick succession, shooting very high, the Wizards were able to rank at the top of the league at the beginning of the season, and Harrell's performance was crucial.
However, in the past period of time, Harrell's state has fluctuated, and his personal performance has been poor. At the same time, in terms of getting along with his teammates, he did not handle the relationship well, had an argument with his old teammate Pope, and also said in an interview that a small number of players on the team did not play hard in the game, and his relationship with the other teammates of the Wizards this season was not harmonious, which was the main reason why he was traded to the Hornets.
Of course, even if the relationship between teammates is not handled well, Harar has performed very well this season. In 46 games for the Wizards, he averaged 24.3 minutes per game and was able to record 14.1 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 0.4 steals and 0.7 blocks, shooting 65.4 percent from the field, which ranks fourth in the league. He is very efficient in shooting, and he is also full of vitality in the game, has a strong ability to finish under the basket, and is a very good sixth man.
After leaving the Wizards, Harrell will also play for the Hornets this season. This season's Hornets are a playoff-level team that is currently 9th in the East, in the playoff zone. With Harrell's addition, he will improve the overall strength and depth of the team, and will also help the three-goal impact of the playoffs this season. After joining the Hornets, if he can handle the relationship with his teammates, then his joining is very helpful for the team, and the strength of the Hornets will be well improved.
In fact, Harrell's personal ability is not a problem, he has a strong offensive strength, can efficiently get 20+10 data in the game, and can help the team on the bench. It's just that his bad problem is that he doesn't know how to deal with the locker room problem, and often causes problems in the team's locker room because of his emotions, which is his biggest deficiency. This shortcoming also led to him changing four teams (Clippers, Lakers, Wizards and Hornets) in the past 3 years, and he has not been able to play for one team for a long time.
For a player like Harrell, if he can control his emotions, then he can stay in the NBA for a long time, after all, his ability is really strong. But if he doesn't handle it well, then even if he is capable, it will be difficult for him to survive in the NBA for a long time, and he will change more and more teams.
