@SalsaVerde98 @_Fresh85 It's only the same because he didn't make the playoffs prior to those guys getting there.

Quick Question Hornets fans…
What’s LaMelo’s playoff record?
English
Who’s stopping this lineup:
PG: Damian Lillard
SG: Jrue Holiday
SF: Deni Avdija
PF: Jaylen Brown
C: Anthony Davis
English
I can tell everything about you based upon your opinions on LaMelo Ball and Trae Young
English
@UnOtreDX @jacktheanalyst_ @PrimeKnueppel Ball is essentially Trae Young putting up stats on bad teams. Be better man.
English
@jacktheanalyst_ @passmeetheball @PrimeKnueppel not as a scorer, no. first team to ever have 5 players over 18ppg because the whole team revolved around the chemistry developed thru his playmaking 👀
English
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?
Charlottehornetsonly@ChaHornetsOnly
The Hornets have the second best odds to land Jaylen Brown after the LaMelo trade. Via @DKSports Thoughts?
English
@passmeetheball @GC_Remix Got the most assets in the league tf are you talking about🤣
English
The Nets have to be all over this. I know he struggled in the playoffs but this is a legit young Center they can grab with essentially just cap space.

Jalen Duren plans to explore sign-and-trade scenarios after contract negotiations have stalled out with the Pistons, per @sam_amick (nytimes.com/athletic/73969…). There is a large enough gap in value from Duren’s camp and Detroit where he feels like it’s best to now play elsewhere.
English
@4Evashook Does it? I want him too but what attractive assets do we even have left besides Knicks picks? I doubt they’ll come knocking for Mann and Zaire
English
Mikal Brown Jr
Egor Demin
Michael Porter Jr
Julius Randle
Jalen Duren
🤔

I’ll stand by what I’ve said, I’m not giving Duren over $40/yr
Seems as if Jalen Duren wants to cash out (rightfully so)
Go find a sign and trade team, add a 10 and 10 center at half the price, and the Detroit Pistons use the Duren money to add a #2 option next to Cade
Crunch Time Sports@officialctpod
BREAKING: Detroit Pistons Center Jalen Duren was "underwhelmed" by the Pistons initial contract offer, per @sam_amick He is now planning to explore sign-and-trade scenarios on Tuesday Duren is eligible for a 5-year, $287M extension ($57.4/yr) with the Pistons
English
@terpslurps420 @DanielTDenny @ikenyonFB He's taken alot of shots for alot of bad teams. Essentially Tre Young and Bradley Beal.
English
@DanielTDenny @ikenyonFB LaMelo averaged over 20 points and 7 assists over the last 5 seasons. The only other players to do that are Luka and Joker. These tweets are hilarious
English
Wolves gave up Naz Reid, a pick 7 years from now and 3 picks in the 50s to secure a starting lineup of LaMelo, Dosunmo, Ant, McDaniels, and Gobert.
And get a D+?
ESPN@espn
The grades from the Wolves-Hornets trade are in 👀 @zachkram shares his thoughts on this morning's deal as well as all the other trades so far: spr.ly/6012BDY3gm
English
@CoachBGonzo He's taken alot of shots for alot of bad teams. Be better buddy.
English
LaMelo averages 20.9 PPG Career at 24 years old, with 6 Seasons Played. He has a chance to be one of the Greatest Offensive PG’s of All Time if he can stay healthy.
Only 7 PG’s in NBA History has Averaged 20+ PPG, 7+ AST, 5+ REB Per Game in their Career with at Least 6 Seasons Played.
Lamelo is in the Top 10 All Time For PG’s Points Per Game in their Career. (LaMelo is 24 Years Old)
English
@BakkeBoy14 @cee_jay12489 @NoahF31511 @PlusEV You're going to be changing that name when Ant dips in a couple years because of this off-season.
English
@cee_jay12489 @NoahF31511 @PlusEV Finally someone with some common sense. This trade makes us drastically better. Lamelo is a better facilitator and scorer than Naz has ever been. People just get so emotionally attached to these players. We finally get a point guard and now people are mad, makes 0 sense.
English
If you think the wolves got better from this, especially long term, you are delusional
ESPN@espn
Breaking: The Charlotte Hornets are trading LaMelo Ball and Josh Green to the Minnesota Timberwolves for Naz Reid, a 2033 unprotected first-round pick, three first-round pick swaps (2028, 2029, 2030) and three second-round picks (2029, 2032, 2033), sources tell @ShamsCharania.
English
@PairOChoppers @NoahF31511 @PlusEV Ant won't be there by the time they convey. So they definitely wont be worse.
English
@NoahF31511 @PlusEV Don't get hung up on the pick swaps, bud. They're meaningless when you consider that the Hornets will probably be worse than the Wolves in terms of record for the foreseeable future.
English
@jguetz1979 @KyleTheige Ball is a losing player. That's why.
See all years prior to last as your reference.
English
@KyleTheige Explain to me like I’m 4. Why are fans saying this is an overpay for Ball? Love Naz… but he came off the bench and Ant was pretty much our PG when he should be SG.
English
I think it’s fair for people to question the fit and criticize the Timberwolves for lack of future draft capital.
I also think it’s fair to say Minnesota has a starting backcourt of Anthony Edwards (24) and LaMelo Ball (24).
Hit the home run now. Figure out the details later.
English
@court_iorg @JoshReynolds24 Lamelo was seen as a cancer to the team less then a year ago. He doesn't play winning basketball. Also, injury prone.
Its insane to call Naz and a boatload of picks nothing.
English
@JoshReynolds24 totally agree. and I don't like the trade at all. Basically got nothing for him. But for some reason the Hornets have never believed in Lamelo the way i think fans have.
English
I’m not the world’s biggest LaMelo Ball fan, but I do feel for Charlotte Hornets fans… Fresh off your most exciting season in FOREVER & your team trades your best player to start rebuilding right after Adam Silver makes it damn near impossible to rebuild… Absolutely brutal
English
English
@jacktheanalyst_ @PrimeKnueppel he is literally a losing player he has made the celtics worse every time he is on the floor we do not want him
