You have zero credibility at this point - post another nonsense post from another nonsense poster about kon.

Can't wait to use it on the most unatheletic nice guys available at the 8th pick in 2029


it's like the worst pick out of 5 teams or something we're gonna trade Mark Williams for 2 29th picks

Mark was traded cause he's slow footed and often times out of position on defense. People see the block shots and his offensive rebound put backs and think he's a lot better than what he is and with his uncertain injury situation there was no way this team would commit to him long term. Get us 2 first and a more skilled and athletic moving Center in FA or the draft and this is a good deal.

Good thing they just drafted another slow footed guy to make up for it

You have zero credibility at this point - post another nonsense post from another nonsense poster about kon.

Who needs credibility on a message board man? I’m not trying to come off as smarter than anyone else. But the draft is time for optimism to me. Every Kon tweet I’ve sent contains data that shows how elite he is at multiple things. But I’m fine to stop, just thought it might help some people brighten up about this.

People are unreasonably upset about the Kon pick. VJ went #3. Ace is an entitled kid, and Tre has the same weaknesses Kon does.

They could've traded down and gotten Kon anyway and had their pick of centers with their second pick, at a better spot than the one they just traded Mark for.

I get it - sorry, you were peppering with iffy tweets that were just salt in the wound - for most of us, Kon is easily a bad pick. I hope he works out, but, man...

I assume we'll package the 29th pick and our 2nd round picks to try to move up again.

Knowing the Hornets they'll package all three for a future 3rd round pick and cash considerations
