I will be sick if we trade for Sabonis. Most overrated player of the decade so far. I already wasn't a fan of the Alfense years.

I was actually a fan a few years back, but then you start watching him and its like damn he just doesn't care at all to play any defense. You can't change a culture when you give absolutely no effort on defense.

As much as he brings on offense he kills that with his atrocious defensive effort. No thanks!

I liked Sabonis more than you guys, his passing and rebounding would be great as well as his ability to stretch the floor, but he needs to go to a team competing now. That aint Charlotte.

otherwise I think Kings are in a worse spot than Charlotte, can't see a huge market for their veterans.

NBA team looks to draft a great player in the top 5!

Fans of the 29 other teams: This is great, excited to add him to our team we just got a lot better.

Hornets Fans: Kon is our best player, now we can trade our other best players and start over.

We finally get a near perfect match next to Lamelo and now all of a sudden the consensus is to trade him. Like I get that Lamelo has been frustrating this season but who would we realistically trade him for? Ja? Zion? Sabonis? Guys who will make us even worse on the court, or in Ja's case worse in the locker room.

It was the same thing with LaMelo vs Brandon.
Now we have Kon vs LaMelo.

I hate to say it, but we have to have one of the dumbest fan bases in the league. We have won 4 games and the immediate thought is we need to trade guys because we have too many good players lol.

Ball is our best player, we are entertaining trading him because his health isn't reliable and I think there is some truth to the rumour of him not being happy here.

I have changed my mind on Miller, that was a bad knee jerk reaction to his injury by me, he is still on his rookie contract we can wait to see how that shoulder holds up.

otherwise everybody else is expendable. i can't get rid of Miles and Mann fast enough. Sexton isn't far behind, but I don't mind having 1 hoggy microwave guard in the toolbelt. Sexton seems to TRY and play a bit like a point guard occasionally.

I am just looking forward to picking top 5 again so we can name that our new guy and decide Kon should be dealt next. You can laugh, but that is literally the tendency of our fans lmao.

I've put up with some of the condescension from yourself, but cool it with the name calling. Just because people have a different opinion than you, it doesn't make them "dumb". Consider this a friendly warning, next name calling will result in something more

JMAC3 · Post #1272 » by **JMAC3** » Today 3:45 am

Is that a real warning? Me calling thousands of random hornets fan on twitter dumbasses?

JMAC3 · Post #1273 » by **JMAC3** » Today 3:48 am

I would say the same thing if I saw Wizards fan arguing about who is their best player and having to trade one of Sarr or Kyshawn George all while winning 1 game lol.

yes mate, insulting a fan base, even your own, is generally an automatic strike on realgm forums. that's one of the hard rules they have.

Lamelo is the only one people are getting tired of. It seems like he is saying the right things for the media, but he may be saying something different behind the scenes. Plus it’s clear that he isn’t trying his hardest right now, shooting 25% from the field consistently, screaming for the ball, etc.

Plus (most importantly) he DOES NOT stay healthy or try to work on his ankle/leg strength.

from an outsider, it does sort of feel like that's the story of America right now. Pick a side and fling insults at your opposites

I actually like the pairing of Lamelo when he's switched on with Kon, they wax together well. My dream would be Ball not getting injured again for the rest of the season and showing the casual critics that he is serious and wants to win.
I'm just not sure its going to happen. I destroyed my ankles playing ball a couple of times, they have never been the same since

Any word on if Keegan Murray was included in the Kings fire sale? I would love to take a swing on him.

We need another shooter badly and he would fit well as a PF with Melo, Kon, and Miller.

Obviously would love to give up Miles for him, but I imagine it would have to include the Heat pick, Salaun, and atleast one of McKeely and/or Sion.
