Didn't know you were a proponent of small samples.

I didn't realize I was either.

Just ironic for you to post about how consistent they've been since Terry left just an hour or two after they both played probably their worst games of the season.

Double-down is the retort you're going with here? Okay.

Ya lost me. I wasn't commenting on anything other than the ironic timing.

Whatever point you're trying to make go ahead and claim the win.

There is a Suns insider I saw on the other Hornets sub saying that Miles Bridges to Phx has got a lot more serious and he's expecting it to happen.

Leave it to Mitch to trade him to a team with nothing to offer.

There's likely a sleeper team, like OKC. Suns ain't it.

Willing to pay a ransom. It would have to be one. And he'd have to waive his right to block any trade. He strikes me as someone who wants to be here.

The Suns rumour makes absolutely no sense for us or for Bridges.

There's surely at least half a dozen teams that would outbid Phoenix's poo poo platter of assets.

I call BS on those grounds.

Grayson Allen and a package around that. If Allen isn't involved no.

I’m a listen to every offer crowd.

The only person I really want traded is Hayward to get some value before he walks.

I’d prefer trading miles if a decent offer happens as I don’t trust his iq to be a good player long term.

Pj is talented, but a poor rebounder and inconsistent. He’d be ideal next to a crash type player to do some of the heavy lifting


Miles and PJ are stepping up and playing better basketball since we dropped the Terry poop bag and lit it afire atop Miami's doorstep, swiftly ringing the doorbell thereafter.

Agree on Hayward but the bidding process could draw out. Positive value though.

I still think miles will be fools gold in the long run, exciting finisher and scorer, but not smart enough for winning team ball.

Bruh not Suns fans acting like Bol Bol is a legitimate piece in a trade
Your Charlotte Hornets! We’ll eventually get something right;right?

The Miles to the Suns thing is comical. What is in it for the Hornets exactly?

Is it possible for Miles to fit for a winning NBA team? His defense is so bad.

At least he's a big body, unlike Terry.

My target is Eason. He should be back this week. I think he's a great fit with Miller and Ball, and is younger and more cost controlled, and would break out in a starting role.

Obviously Miles is way better offensively right now, I just don't have confidence bringing him back next year

Miles is capable of defending, he just doesn't. Like Rozier.

Miles needs to be on a contending roster with smart players. A team like the Lakers would make sense he doesn't have to make the smart play with LeBron and AD. Just be a athlete and run they will find you.

I'm fine with trading Miles if it makes sense. What's becoming clear is that he has a low basketball IQ and he has loss some of his athletic jumping ability. Dude use to be one of the best dunkers in the league. We haven't seen any of that all season.

Well, LaVine is out for the season with a foot injury.

Hopefully we trade Gordon before he needs his calf amputated or something.

Return to Charlotte Hornets
