I’m not even wasting my time on it.

Robbins was asked before what was the worst trade tumor he heard on the Magic as a beat writer.

It was the team being interested with DeRozan, and he said because the team never looked at DD and to this day this talk exists because of that rumor. So i’ll take Robbins word for it.

Now that Lamelo Ball is out for the season, I wonder if it's possible the Hornets might give him up. I would offer the Hornets ANYTHING and EVERYTHING to get Lamelo Ball.

Why the hell would they do that?

This is the same organization that traded Oladipo and a first for Ibaka. This FO might be desperate knowing AG is out.

You can't do a desperation trade if someone is leaving in the off season and the players coming in tie up the salary cap more and don't make the team better. If can't make a trade for Fournier or any player on the team with an expiring contract that makes sense, Best to just keep him through the rest of the season, let him walk and it frees up cap space.

Maybe because he's out for the season and see if you can throw anything and everything and see if the Hornets bite? What would be the purpose of not trying to see if they bite? They might think if the Hornets get our best players and picks, They might be like "i don't want to give him up" but I think overall our team might improve with this trade.

Lebron and Anthony Davis are hurt. Can we get them for Birch and Aminu?

Or do we have to give up AG?

It's like talking to a wall

You just compared Lebron and Anthony Davis to Lamelo Ball? Lamelo Ball is a rookie, he's a totally different case than those 2.

Ah, okay. So an injured Lebron his rookie year would have been traded away for our scraps? Is that what you’re telling us?
