I def have a feeling we leave tonight with Tre. We almost never draft the player everyone thinks we’re going to

I’m fine with Kon if it’s part of a larger plan to reshape the roster. However, we all know the hornets are going to draft and call it a day this offseason, so it needs to be someone better than that.

Seeing a guy from The Athletic claiming the Celtics are trading Jaylen Brown to the Jazz for the 5th pick and much more. No details.
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

Who does the lady that leaked the Tidjane interest a year ago think we are taking this year? Feels like it was about this time of day last year.

Kristen Peak I think her name. A few weeks ago I think she said we liked Kon, Jaku, and Tre maybe?

I've got a bad feeling we won't get VJ. Don't want Bailey for maturity issues. Everyone else does not look like a difference maker. I guess Kon, we need a young sharp shooter. I'm just prepared to be disappointed. Again.

Wouldn't shock me with the Ainge and Stevens connection. Just wish it was us who finally took a swing like this. :banghead:

I want playoffs in the worst way

It’s on his X account. People responding are claiming it’s BS. Maybe he’s got nothing to do with the site. Name is Daniel Judgeaport, @thejudgedan

Yea he posted that a couple hours ago. Every major outlet would’ve already been over it if it was true.

If the Jazz do trade for Jaylen Brown I assume that means Lauri isn't available.

Celtics going for a complete tank job this season, with a massive war chest of cash ready to go shopping the following off-season…JUST IN TIME FOR THE RETURN OF TATUM CLAUSE! Ho Ho HO!

That was a good trade for Atlanta and I wish this team would take chances like that. Porzingis is on a contract year. Even if you heavy load manage him and only play him 25 minutes a game, if you can just get to the play-in/playoffs, he fits the team perfectly.
