I’d trade up for him. Like now. Figure the roster **** out later

They need to do something wild to keep me on board at this point. Trade for Jaku and get Fleming + Yang.

Jaku will definitely be the steal of the draft. Crazy he's still on the board.

Charlotte was probably hoping to get one of Sorber or Yang with that MW trade. Oops

Minny had the chance to get exactly what they need right now in Jaku and passed it up. Makes me feel a little less crashed out.
Your Charlotte Hornets! We’ll eventually get something right;right?

Portland definitely about to trade Ayton. Hopefully that team is not us.

They already have Clingan and they drafted this kid #16. Definitely doesn't seem like Ayton will be in their future plans.

Honestly would be fine with someone like that as a stopgap just to eat minutes next year. There’s some really interesting guys falling right now

He's a guy that must have the ball in his hands and all these teams have plenty of players that have to have the ball in their hands

That said he should go to the next three teams

Ayton would be so bad in Charlotte. Theres no way he would give effort here. I can see it happening now lol.

Ayton has a low motor. If we preaching character he's the wrong guy to add to the locker room. He basically quit on PHX a few years ago. Dude is not someone who takes basketball seriously.

That’s possibly more nuts than ANYTHING the idiot Hornets have done so far, and that’s saying a LOT! :o
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

Maybe we’re sending Tiddy and the 29 to Portland for Clingan? That’s about what this front office would do.
