I hate to break it to you but don't expect him to put in that many games for us this year


Speaking of Mark Williams he had 6 pts 11 reb 2 bk on opening night in 24 min

Kalkrenner had 10 pts 11 reb 2 blk in 27 min

Diabate had 13 pt 9 reb 1 blk in 21 min

Mark Williams is a JAG and is about to need a new contract

Heading towards the deadline we need to be thinking about possible Sexton trades becasue he is on an expiring deal.

Sexton for Jalen Green

Sexton for Maluach and something

Sexton for Cam Thomas

Sexton and a pick for Giddey

Sexton for Reed Shepard

Sexton for Rozier trade exception and a pick

but the real trades we are waiting on....

Sexton, Green, Salaun, Pat, 4 picks for Gannis or Curry

I think Bam is the target Jeff Peterson is locked in on. The Spurs are the only team that can outbid us. If they don't include Castle in their trade offer I think the odds (no pun intended, seriously) are pretty good Bam Adebayo will be a Hornet before the end of the season.

I just think the Suns are dumb and the Rockets are desperate.

Lmao, I saw a Heat fan call that trade elder abuse. But we'll give them that pick back if they send Bam our way.

I think Charlotte have been playing that game for the last couple of years without success

With how deep teams are these days, I think the market for players like Miles isn't very good anymore. Good, but not All-Star level or all that impactful on a middle value contract.

He may have some value next season as an expiring though.

Too bad Lauri started off the year in damn near mvp mode.

Im not making any major decisions until New Year's. We will have a better idea if we should be buyers or sellers.

This upcoming draft class is shaping up to be one of the best in quite some time.

Maybe Memphis for Clarke and whoever of their wings is SOL because of Coward's emergence'?

Kings for DDR?

Raptors for RJ?

Bulls for Collins + filler (if we just want an expiring)?

Clippers John Collins (if we just want expiring)

Would you take Poole from NOP if they threw in a 1st?

He has Lakers written all over him possibly for Austin Reaves.

Luka/Lauri seems like a better fit than Luka/AR.

Time for a bold prediction

If the Hornets continue to struggle and they are not in the playoff picture come trade deadline I think they will finally trade LaMelo.

Something is telling me they are trying to change the culture more than anything.

Return to Charlotte Hornets
