Re: Hornets Trade #22 for Marco Belinelli
How did Vlade swindle Cho? One of the worst moves I've seen today.

Cho doesn't get swindled. I'm not worried.

Vlade Divac was the reason why Charlotte traded away superstar Kobe Bryant. Twenty years later, Vlade Divac is the reason why Charlotte traded away future superstar Malachi Richardson.

Re: Hornets Trade #22 for Marco Belinelli
I still say Cho is a minor league GM. Yes he can pull off some nice mid-year bargains for guys who fit the system, but his drafts and moves any other time have been average to poor.
I won't wait for the other shoe to drop. It is hard to see the other east teams positioning via trades and picks to get stronger. We try to hang on to some bodies while hopeful MKG can stay healthy. Still need a shot blocker.

I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

Re: Hornets Trade #22 for Marco Belinelli
Just trying to figure out the cap implications...we're over the cap, so even if this goes through it means we're renouncing some of our FAs, right?

Re: Hornets Trade #22 for Marco Belinelli

Belinelli played well offensively in his first season with the Spurs but not so well the second. Can Cliff bring back the first year Spurs Belinelli?
Why did he decline so much?
His D is definitely not good.
Is he a replacement for Lee, Lin or Lamb?

Thinking more about this...unless I'm missing something, to get this trade to go through we have to either (1) send out salary or (2) renounce Big Al or CLee + Marv.

Yep. I honestly think that Lamb is in the trade. But who really knows at this point.
My picks:
2020 Draft (3rd pick) - Tyrese Haliburton, Devin Vassell, or Onyeka Okongwu
2021 Draft (11th pick) - Moses Moody

Re: Hornets Trade #22 for Marco Belinelli
I'm holding on to the hope that we end up with Papagiannis. Something funky is up with SAC taking him and Skal.

Anyways, seems like Malachi is mainly a shooter......strange......

I guess they are gonna make big trades. DMC to Bos or Cha?

The trade will likely be official after the initial wave of free agency, probably not an issue.

That's how they encounter the small ball fever in the league. Smart move by the Kings :p

That's how they plan to implement their 4-on-5 strategy. It only works with five 7-footers.

Re: Hornets Trade #22 for Marco Belinelli
The insider on HP has sources but those guys say he also guaranteed Booker would be a Hornet last draft.
I like Marco. He had some high scoring games last year when Casspi or McLemore were out injured. #22 seemed like a lot to give up for a guy clearly not in the Kings plans but Cho really loves the guy.

Re: Hornets Trade #22 for Marco Belinelli
Would be odd for SAC to draft Richardson then also take Lamb, so seems like Hawes is the more likely trade candidate if we are sending salary out.
Still hoping it's Hawes + 22 for Belinelli + Papagiannis.

Re: Hornets Trade #22 for Marco Belinelli
Marco at 38% career from deep is a good trade.
This past season he was pure garbage.
OK trade.
