Bleacher Report trade and mock has us trading to 9 and picking SG Brayden Burries Charlotte Hornets recieve: Kyrie Irving and No. 9 pick Dallas Mavericks receive: LaMelo Ball, No. 14 pick and No. 18 pick The Hornets just finished their sixth season with Ball. It was only their second with a winning record, their sixth without a playoff trip and the sixth in which someone else paced them in win shares (Kon Knueppel this time around). While they'd surely like to keep building on their second-half momentum, maybe they're just unconvinced that Ball can lead a winning team. Maybe they credit that stretch run less to him and more to the addition of Knueppel, the ascension of Brandon Miller and some out-of-nowhere gains on the defensive end. Charlotte should be dreaming big right now, and perhaps it believes a steadier hand at point guard is needed to realize that. Or maybe it feels it needs a little more time to bring everything together and thinks that task would be simpler without Ball's money on the books and with a top-10 pick in a loaded draft instead of two selections in the mid-teens. Either way, this shakeup works. Short-term, a healthy Irving should be far easier to follow than Ball. You may not always know if Irving is playing, but you know what you'll get if he does: elite shotmaking, all-time handles, offensive ingenuity and the ability to work both on and off the ball. He could show this young roster what's required to win for a year or two (he has a $42.4 million player option for 2027-28) or even stick around longer if the partnership proves especially fruitful. The Hornets also add a building block in Burries, who offers both plug-and-play polish and flashes of shot-creation that hint at star potential. In short, they could better their chances of winning both now and in the future while collecting both the best player in the trade and the highest draft pic

Trust me DB, I hope im wrong and will gladly admit it. But im not

Should be, but you never know. I think Dan will be safe, but Canales was brought in to fix Bryce

I like what he has done the past 2 offseasons, but its too early for him to be considered a top 15 GM. Let's see how the season plays out

Yea i was never impressed with flutie. 3k 19td 16int was his best season

Where does Dan rank? https://www.nbcsports.com/fantasy/football/news/rotopats-2026-nfl-gm-rankings-analysis-for-all-32-teams 22. Dan Morgan, Panthers "What do you do when you have a questionable quarterback situation? Build out everything else. Although he has used each of his three first-round picks on offensive help for Bryce Young, Dan Morgan is in the middle of a two-year spending spree on defense. The off-field cash infusion led to immediate, massive on-field gains in 2025, with Carolina improving from 32nd to 16th in scoring defense. Morgan has now added EDGE Jaelan Philips and linebacker Devin Lloyd to the mix. Every little bit helps, but there is only so much you can do if you lack a long-term answer under center. For now, Morgan has equivocated when asked if Young will remain with the team following the expiration of his rookie contract. If Young’s year-over-year improvement remains modest or plateaus in 2026, it won’t be because Morgan hasn’t done everything he can to make his life easier. He has used first-round picks on a No. 1 receiver and potential long-term left tackle. He has invested in the backfield and improved the skill player depth. Morgan is making the best of an imperfect situation. That’s all he can do, but sometimes there is nothing you can do to keep your job in the NFL if the quarterback — or owner — doesn’t cooperate."

Yea ppl make more of this than it is. Typical of the huddle

Will listen on my ride home from wofk

What happened to your old account?

Kenny Pickett is competition for Bryce, but we dont have to worry about anyone wanting to keep him past this season

Wouldn't care just like i dont care that Darnold won

People were upset about the amount he was getting, they thought he hadn't earned that type of money. He quickly proved to be worth the money,

.

Yea if he put up those numbers it would be hard not to re sign him, even if we dont make the playoffs.

I really think we weren't interested in spending the money it would take to get someone who could push Bryce. They spent the FA money in other places
