Will the Hornets Make a Trade? 

Post#1 » by Cheeze » Fri Jan 29, 2016 4:22 pm

Looking at the flotsam that is rumored to be available by trade, I'm not convinced the Hornets can do something in that regard that would help them this season. Or at least make a move that would move the needle. And the roster isn't packed with budding talent that can return future assets. I've heard absolutely nothing regarding the Hornets and trades. So it may be that this year Cho sits one out. That's where I'm putting my money.

Do you think Charlotte HAS to make a trade? Does Cho have to go all-in with a big trade to save his job? I'm not all that interested in what we think Cho should do. We have the fake trade thread for that. I'm interested in what y'all think he WILL do.

He will do what he always did, a small trade for a role players that doesn't affect this team a lot.

Al Jefferson has no place on this team anymore, he just doesn't fit the roster construction. So if there is a trade out there where we take back some salary next season and net an additional asset I think Cho would go for it. The problem is there really aren't that many options out there for that kind of trade.

I want to believe that we will trade Big Al for something useful, but in all likelihood, we will probably trade Brian Roberts for a big man that is a marginal upgrade over Marvin Williams and call it a day.

Hopefully this is the year where Cho works his magic and convinces GM Doc Rivers to trade us Blake Griffin or something

Like a second rounder and brian roberts?

I mean, Big Al, could do wonders to the clippers if we trade him there for blake griffin. Doc Rivers will make him play the 4 where he could be deadful around deandre jordan.

I can't even begin to imagine how bad Big Al would be guarding the power forward position.

LAC would want Batum+Lamb+Zeller+1sts and I would absolutely do that

I'd take Lance back if it meant getting rid of Zeller and Al (and Hansbrough).

Cho needs to work his magic and fleece some sucker team out of their lottery pick.

:noway: Al has the expiring salary we need to sign Batum and Williams
: :noway: Hawes is playing well at Center and can backup Al once he returns.
:roll: Zellar Maybe...{Frank is coming along and I see him being a keeper at stretch 4.}..Like to get a 6'9'250 Board Banger back.
:nod: BRob....Now that MKG is back, a veteran Backup Swingman would be nice..Brob's expiring should attract somebody :o
:nod: PJ Throw him in with Roberts...It's better to trade now than wait for free agency.
:noway: Psycho T....Double Double last night....Add Tattoos/Red Hair and he could be the second coming of Rodman.
:crazy: :noway: KW,Batum,MKG,Lin,AHarr,Frank,Lamb,Daniels,Williams

It's important we twang this roster a little cause otherwise we could end up a lottery team.
