We get Grayson Allen and Royce O'Neale who could easily find minutes on this roster with their skill sets. Not only that but we turn a trash 2029 1st into a potentially high value 2033 1st. Jeff Peterson is cooking this off season.

BREAKING: The Charlotte Hornets are trading Miles Bridges, a 2029 first-round pick and a 2027 second-round pick to the Phoenix Suns for Grayson Allen, Royce O'Neale and a 2033 first-round pick, sources tell ESPN.

@Love4ADolla @ykkozy @StepbackAe You just chatting lamelo is a playmaker at heart but the hornets offense it’s geared for each player to have 10+ attempts and he be exercising that green light lol
English
@ykkozy @StepbackAe He's always been a 1st option lamelo dont know is real identity being a pass first pg which is why he got traded
English
@Betsycashmoney @MrGGlenn I’m ngl we aren’t ever seeing another hornet lineup go 27-5 no matter who is on the team definitely could’ve ran that back and fixed the bench. Also health had been the only problem which is why they have no experience in high pressure games but I think we’ll be ok
English
This "Everything is rosy in Charlotte!" narrative is exactly how I felt about the Hornets last season...
...until the play-in, when they got punched in the mouth by the Magic.
I think there's some Revisionist History about "cracks" their core started to show vs certain teams.
The Hood Therapist@OhhMar24
Hornets really had Melo, B Miller, Kon Knueppel, Miles Bridges and Moses Diabete winning every game after the All-Star break and giving the team culture + identity. The first time in the teams history. This LaMelo trade is just confusing
English
@CrownClubCLT @Kembacrossover What you in your feelings for if people switch 😂 spectrum didn’t get full till February and it won’t get full again and until we show promise we a fair weather fanbase deservingly so
English
Bro
Switch teams all you want but don’t come back.
You can’t call yourself a “Hornets fan” when asked.
I don’t care if shit gets sweet in 3-4 years. Stay your ass over there
English
@ImAHater100 When I see stuff like this I be wanting to think yall trolling we just traded melo to pickup a worse same injury prone guard you rage baiting. And you may have forgotten but we drafted a pg !!
English
Trade idea
Hornets sends:
-Coby white
Memphis sends:
-Ja Morant
-2028 second round pick
-2030 second round pick
Coby white is a combo guard looking to score isn’t going to be a long season with him starting at pg.
NBACentral@TheDunkCentral
The Sacramento Kings said no thanks to Ja Morant and would require the Memphis Grizzlies to include draft picks in any trade, per @JakeLFischer (Via @BleacherReport )
English
@primetimecar @704_Dawg With the new draft system if the twolves finish as the 7 or 8 seed we just doubled our odds to get a top pick
English
Half of the “war chest” being pick swaps with a better team is hilarious
Evan Sidery@esidery
The Hornets are building a war chest of draft assets to utilize down the line: 2027 1st 2027 lottery-protected 1st (via Heat) 2027 top-2 protected 1st (via Mavericks) 2028 1st (Timberwolves swap rights) 2029 1st 2029 1st (via Mark Williams trade) 2030 1st (Minnesota swap rights) 2031 1st 2032 1st (Minnesota swap rights) 2033 1st 2033 1st (via Minnesota) Charlotte GM Jeff Peterson has completely rebuilt an empty asset cupboard in Charlotte since taking over.

@Kembacrossover @hwyshqu Would love to see a post on who you think we use the exception on
English
This could’ve easily been us next off season if LaMelo had another unhealthy season.
Legion Hoops@LegionHoops
Ja Morant “couldn’t be more available” on the trade market, per @WindhorstESPN
English
@u_kno_tay Hate to break it to you but you don’t get Jaylen and keep Bmill
English
@Kembacrossover @NickNBADraft We don’t need to use the exception on sabonis though it doesn’t benefit us enough defensively. But a lineup of Colby kon Brandon Reid and sabonis is interesting.
English
@Prez4PF @NickNBADraft Hannes isn’t gonna be ready to start year 1. Trade Sabonis by the deadline of year 2. It doesn’t really impact Hannes much. If anything he’s a good mentor for Hannes.
English
How I’d Finish The Hornets Off Season:
PG: Coby White
SG: Brandon Miller
SF: Kon Knueppel
PF: Domantas Sabonis
C: Moussa Diabate
6: Christian Anderson
7: Jrue Holiday
8: Quentin Grimes
9: Hannes Steinbach
10: Ryan Kalkbrenner
11: Tidjane Salaun
12: Sion James
13: Liam McNeeley
14: ?
15: ?
Contract Extensions/Roster Moves:
- Extend Brandon Miller for slightly below the max at 5 yrs/$220 million. Give him a player option for that 5th year.
Free Agency:
- Sign Quentin Grimes to a 3 yr/$45 million deal.
Trades:
- Trade Miles Bridges, Grant Williams, Tre Mann, and a 2029 1st via UTA, CLE or MIN to the Kings for Domantas Sabonis.
- Trade 3 2nds to the Blazers for Jrue Holiday and a 2028 1st via ORL.
- Trade Naz Reid to the Celtics for a 2031 1st via BOS (Lottery Protected - Unprotected in 2032) and 2030 1st Swap Rights.

@Kembacrossover @NickNBADraft Now why tf would we draft hannes then trade for sabonis 😂
English
Sabonis can provide some spacing. Charles Lee would have to adjust the system some but I think Moussa and Sabonis can operate in different ways when they’re on the court together. Space our their minutes during the game too and it’ll work solid. We’d always have elite rebounding on the floor with Sabonis, Moussa and Hannes.
English
@Kembacrossover Only way we getting Jaylen now is getting rid of Brandon you would have to give Brandon and the 3 1st for Brown idk if you do that
English
There’s a world where we turn…
LaMelo Ball
Josh Green
Miles Bridges
3 1sts
Into…
Jaylen Brown
Naz Reid
English
The Charlotte Hornets are signing Michael Ajayi to a two-year two-way contract, per @Tjonesonthenba.
The 6-7, 228-lbs forward averaged 16.4 PTS, 11.1 REB, 3.2 AST and 1.1 STL in 33.6 MPG last season at Butler, shooting 45.5% FG, 26.1% 3PT, 65.3% FT.

@JBunz15 @HornetsReddit @ShamsCharania Nah we definitely answering the phone an hearing offers doesn’t mean we accepting though
English
@HornetsReddit @ShamsCharania I don’t believe this for a second. Scams needs new trade drama to stir up now that Giannis is over.
English
🗣️ @ShamsCharania: "Multiple teams are strongly pursuing LaMelo Ball right now. The Hornets are engaged, I'm told."
"Both sides have been in a good place, Ball does want to be in Charlotte, but this is an organization fielding some aggressive offers. So if the price is met, he could very well be on the move. This is a developing story, potentially over next 24, 48 hours."
English
@DMichaelMG @The1nonlySakuna @ohnohedidnt24 Man in what world is not dribbling the clock out the right play I swear people always be tryna be different to there not easy free throws but castle just hit both right before that ….
English
@The1nonlySakuna @ohnohedidnt24 It’s much higher pressure situation to make 2 free throws in that situation
The layup would have been easier
English
De’Aaron Fox on the criticism he got after game 4:
"It's not like people have my phone number and can call me. I don't watch those shows. It doesn't matter. It is what it is. You can't change it now. We're trying to move on from that"
English
@HornetsReddit @JakeLFischer Is He the dude that yells "5...4...3...2...1" when the shot clock is about to expire
English
The Chicago Bulls plan to seek permission to interview Charlotte Hornets lead assistant coach Lamar Skeeter, per @JakeLFischer.
English
Lamelo Ball has now purposely tried to injure Bam Adebayo on multiple occasions.
This is very weird behaviour.
English
@UnlimitedJc @HeatvsHaters @hornets As a hornet fan Tyler Herro definitely going for 30 with a Norman Powell gw 💀
English
OFFICIAL: The Miami Heat (10) at Charlotte Hornets (9) in the Play-In.
How we feeling…?
English
@HornetsReddit They might do what the Braves have done (Braves Vision), making their own media distribution network given how good the team is now. Because options are not plentiful to take these teams on given the closure of Fox Sports SE, Bally, and Fanduel
English
The Charlotte Hornets won't be broadcast by FanDuel Sports Network next season. Whoever the team signs a "one-year interim deal" with, until the NBA centralizes its local rights for the 2027–28 season, must retain Eric Collins and Dell Curry at all costs.
