Miles bridges outlasting Melo as a hornet

@Sageof6turtles @PranavSriraman Small sample size but I digress

@zackwill14 @Mango35805877 @PolymarketHoops @mikelacett Miles bridges and Tatum are friends btw

@Mango35805877 @PolymarketHoops @mikelacett We respect women in Boston

JUST IN: The Hornets are actively negotiating with the Celtics for Jaylen Brown, per @mikelacett. 🚨

@CobyWhite @HornetsReddit You coming off the bench for JB?

Don’t believe everything you read lol

@Daltonst23 Paolo

Keyonte or paolo gotta be the targets man

So basically, Coby white bitched Jeff into a starting spot

@B_Money005 @zcalh2022 @TheDailyWolves He’s not going to start at center

@zcalh2022 @TheDailyWolves Once they realize he's not a starting center they'll shop him for a low price and we're back in business right???

The Hornets preferred Naz Reid over Rudy Gobert. Per: Jon Krawczynski Podcast

@PrimeKnueppel Kon at point. Both and Kon need to take leaps with their playmaking and passing regardless. Brown also solves our rim pressure issue

Jaylen Brown makes 0 sense on this team I’m NGL. Neither Miller, Brown, or Kon, can play C, PF, or PG, how do you fit them all into a starting lineup?

@DavisNeverCaps @sponhourm You don’t create a 40 mil trade exception to not make another move

@sponhourm Matt just accept the hornets are poverty and there’s no reason by there moves

Did the Hornets wait until after the draft to move LaMelo so they can use the trade exception next offseason?

@anxious2430 @Sixersarentgood @PranavSriraman There’s a better chance he’s out of the league than him being better than Melo

@Circlek2000 @Sixersarentgood @PranavSriraman scoot will be better than LaMelo in 2 years

He’s who I’m least worried about

@truzzbuzz Murphy and miller are redundant though

Trey Murphy moves me, Suggs is intriguing but I think it will be better to go for different players and just have the TPE eat the difference

@OwenOConnorNBA If Peterson thinks we’re 4-5 years away then he should be banned from any involvement in basketball. It doesn’t take 5+ years to build a contender, let alone a roster. And if you aren’t ready yet, what’s the point of trading and signing Coby white? It’s time to use his assets

Alright. It’s been a few hours now and the initial reaction I had has definitely cooled off. Here are my thoughts: - I need to see 2-3 more moves before making a full opinion. It’s not looking good right now, but I have full trust in Peterson. - It seems to me that while the team is happy with the amount of wins they had, they might still believe they are 4-5 years away - LaMelo’s medicals had to have a red flag. He may have missed less than 10 games this year, but can you gamble that will happen next year? - A significant amount of pressure now lies on Brandon Miller to develop as a creator/finisher. - Naz Reid. - Reid profiles out more as a four right now than a five. Could we see a Miles Bridges deal within the coming weeks? - Do they believe Coby White is the starting point guard? Or could we see them go after Ja Morant?

I love Melo, but some of yall are overdoing it. He never even brought us a playoff appearance

@hiimllogan @YeBoolin @UofBasketball They have no depth either and no picks

@YeBoolin @UofBasketball bruh they're going nowhere with okc and spurs in the west😭😭

Hornets must have thought VERY lowly of LaMelo's ability to be the building block of the franchise. Either leadership-wise, the medicals, or both. Feels like an insider trading deal, shipping him out the moment he had regained value. One unprotected + Naz feels real light though.

@Jcs_Daniel @ArtTakesNote None of these are good options

@ArtTakesNote That 40mil trade exception let's them do a lot more. Sign Fred VanFleet and Luke Kennard or Anfernee Simons and Kelly Oubre Jr. or just Zach LaVine lol. Could also re-sign Sexton. Take on bad contracts like Fox. This shouldn't be judged until October.

Just from a pure value perspective this is terrible for Charlotte. That 2029 pick swap is only swappable if Minnesota’s pick is 1-5 because the 6-30 portion of the pick goes to Utah already. The 2030 pick swap is the least favorable of MIN/SAS as well.

If Jeff Peterson is still serious about pushing in all of chips in for a star, it has to be Jaylen brown. He’s only star that seems to make sense for our roster. Fit next to kon and miller would be a little janky, but his defense and rim pressure would fix most of our issues.

@Sixersarentgood @PranavSriraman I’d actually kms if we traded for scoot

@PranavSriraman That's why they need to either A) Buy low on Embiid B) Buy low on Ja C) Somehow get Scoot (basically buying low there aswell)

@Iforgor6969 @ChaHornetsOnly @DKSports He literally complimented the hornets and said they reminded him of a younger Celtics. Kon/miller/brown is a little weird fit, but it could work

@ChaHornetsOnly @DKSports He ain’t coming to clt. There’s no way he would leave Boston and come be on this poverty franchise that will never build a roster around him

The Hornets have the second best odds to land Jaylen Brown after the LaMelo trade. Via @DKSports Thoughts?

@ChaHornetsOnly @DKSports He’s the only guy who makes sense

@offtheradar1__ @JertTeet @PHILLIS532139 No he’s not lol

@Circlek2000 @JertTeet @PHILLIS532139 But he’s better than Lamelo

I dare the hornets to do all of this just to trade for Ja

@JertTeet @PHILLIS532139 He’s small, injury prone, not a good defender, can’t shoot

@Circlek2000 @PHILLIS532139 Calling ja morant ass is hilarious he had 1 down season and I’m trusting him in the playoffs more than lamelo by a good margin
