As hornets fan not sure why you’d do this. Shows just how bad the Doncic deal was.


Well one player is really great at basketball. One isn't. The one whose health you seem unconcerned about has this for career games played:

51
75
36
22
47


Odd take to suggest health a real advantage for Ball and nobody would claim he approaches AD as a player.

Since the start of the 2020-21 season (when LaMelo entered the league)

AD: 259 games played (285 including playoffs)
Melo: 231 games played

Right... AD is even less injury prone, though not by much, but vastly better, that's what Chuck is seemingly saying

Lol yeah sorry if that was ambiguous, that was a pro-AD post not a pro-LaMelo post

2(Harper)+14+Lakers 29+Vassell/Keldon HORNETS

Lamelo + Dallas 27 MAVS


This might be the worst trade I have seen today,
Spurs get AD and #4 for #2, #14 and Keldon?

Hornets get murdered in value here as well.

but

Mavs say NO.
Mavs say : "They tried to make me go to rehab, but I said, "NO, No, No"
Mavs say: "They tried to make me go to rehab, but I won't GO, Go, Go"

lol, Mavs say No way
