Still can't forgive Mitch for trading away SGA. But then I remember LAC shipping out SGA AND five FRPs one year after. :noway:

Utah pick is top 8 protected. Utah is going to bottom out as hard as they can in the second half of the year.

I know they're getting a lot of burn but still insanely weird/satisfying/exciting to see this. Dare I say it? A legit Hornets bright spot?

They better hurry up and trade Lauri to the Hornets to help facilitate this outcome.

Ace finding his feet and having a couple of good games. hopefully that shaky start was an outlier due to soreness/adjusting

Clippers pick will win the lottery. OKC takes that and trades for Giannis. Then it’s really over.

Nah the NBA will force Giannis to a major market, not the Thunder.

More likely IMO is that the Celtics win the lottery, trade #1 and stuff for Giannis. Then we have Giannis and Luka in Boston and LA in less than 12 months.

Nah I'm convinced the Mavs are gonna win back to back. They don't have any picks after next year and need to rebuild around Flagg.

NBA will make sure they get the #1 pick.

Lets go Borrego! Ive been wanting to see how hed do with another head coaching job. I wasn't 100% convinced by his tenure in Charlotte that he was good, but I thought there was some compelling evidence in his favor and he is my favorite coach the Hornets have had since I started following them. One thing I wonder though is if a lot of his success here had a lot to do with Jay Triano being a mad genius.
