Charlotte will undoubtedly continue listening to calls for Hayward up to the trade deadline, but it's hard to imagine they'd land much beyond salary filler and a second-round pick in talks. That could be enough to get a deal done if the Hornets want to feature Brandon Miller, whose playing time is impacted by Hayward's presence, but odds are they'll keep a grip on Hayward until the front office is satisfied with this season being a wash.
This front office is truly delusional, as is the idiot coach, thinking this team is playoff caliber when everyone is healthy. First…it’s CLEARLY NOT! Having the starting 5 (remember…per Clifdog that includes Rozier) healthy barely gets you competing with non-playoff teams, and is incapable of beating playoff squads 9 out of 10 matchups. Too much youth and too little defense. Second, even with depth via Miller, PJ and Nick, we aren’t tipping the scales enough when including our summer league fill in warm bodies. And, WE HAVE NO LEGIT BACKUP PG…THANKS MITCH.
Now, there is no rush to deal Gordon unless we get a nice offer. However, we know Gordo is on borrowed time until he gets injured, and is a lost trade asset.
So…stop this crap about playoff contenders Cliff and Mitch. Clifford whining about not having his full lineup yet is just baby crying for his job.
