i was thinking 31 might be used to trade for a backup point guard. Package it with Sessions.

Maybe Beverly as Fats suggested

I really like this trade for the Hornets. The Hawks give up a pick upgrade for the right to take Plumlee for Dwight. And they even picked up Marco's salary as well. Wow.

Random thoughts:

It's gonna be real weird the first time I see Dwight in a hornets uniform

On one possession close outs on D, give me Briante, Graham, MKG, Cody, Dwight

If we plan to use our MLE that would put us into the luxury tax. I'd rather just use the MLE and keep the 31st pick, there are too many rotation quality players at that spot to trade it. And we have 8 guys on guaranteed deals with only the MLE to add someone. A pick and a player for another player would be too big a hit to our depth. We need to use both picks to add depth to the team.

Every hand should be raised.

When my wife showed me the trade I was like it's no way we didn't trade the pick and give up finge core player.

Better not try Dwight-fence

The less effective and even more irritating version of Al-fence

Knowing Cho's allure for Brook Lopez, I think you're right.

Holy ****. Put the kids to bed and come back to this?! Fantastic trade. Move up 10 slots and essentially get another first rounder and a serviceable big. Hell yeah Cho.

Would you want Jordan over Dwight ? Obviously the package would be much diffrremt.

Is this real life? This has to be NBA 2k17 and we just worked the computer right? right?

Worst case is we have another lance, best case an All-Star.

And also confirms we will sign poor character guys.

I love the trade but I do fear it means we are going to screw up the 11 pick. Now if we pull this into a FF and Frank Jackson combo I would be thrilled with the offseason start.

Even if he doesn't perform at his career averages, we rid ourselves of that extra year of Plumlee and move up in the draft which basically cancels trading for Belli last season.

Just woke up, browse this forum and damn! I really thought we trade the 11st pick for Dwight. I don't really like Dwight, but to get him and moving up in the draft just for Plum and Rambonelli, i have no complain, at all.
