You can make the salaries work with Josh Green, Grant, Salaum, Tre Mann. Then throw in some/all of those firsts.

The centerpieces will have to be picks. GSW apparently offered four unprotected first round picks and the Bucks declined. But those picks were in ‘26, ‘27, ‘28, and ‘29. And the Warriors would be picking very late every year with Giannis onboard. But the Hornets have two Top-20 picks this year. And apparently we have FOUR firsts next year (can anyone confirm this?). As for Bridges, he’s on a team-friendly contract and is important to this current lineup. That’s why I proposed above keeping Miles to make our bench even more lethal.

Philly and ATL up pretty big early. Scoreboard watching, gotta get ahead of these teams.

I think it’s gotta be Memphis plus one of either New Orleans or Minnesota.

The two firsts + Green + Salaum + Grant + Mann (salary match) and whatever other future picks they want. Our timeline is NOW.

1.) LaMelo 2.) Kon 3.} Miller 4.. Giannis 5.) Moose 1.) Coby 2.) ? 3.) Sion 4.) Miles Bridges 5.) Kalk That squad would win multiple chips.

By 10, 20, 30, 40, 50… (as sustainably possible).

Orlando lost. We are ahead of the Heat now. If Charlotte wins the next two (tough) games at home, we are likely tied for 6th in the East (playoffs, no play-in).

+17.4 point differential in wins. 2nd highest in the history of the NBA. Only the 1970 Bucks with Lew Alcindor are ahead of them (by 0.1 point).

Magic, Sixers, and Heat all lost tonight (the three teams directly in front of the Hornets). We gotta get hot and beat some really good teams down the stretch.

Should hopefully pick up a half-game on the Sixers and Heat tonight. Also possibly the Hawks and Magic.

Gotta win tonight vs Memphis. Gut the Grizz.

Georgia getting blown out by St. Louis.

Moose is back on the bench and not showing any discomfort. We good, Buzz Gang. Nice 30pt win against the Heat.

Left wrist, hopefully not serious.

LaMelo might have three Top-10 SportsCenter plays in the last 5 minutes.

LaMelo with some SportsCenter moves and passes in the clutch.

List your Top 10 youngish QB’s, including college guys, and include Bryce in there with a straight face. Josh, Lamar, Drake, Burrow, Mahomes, Jayden, Herbert, CJ, Caleb, Trevor, Love, Purdy, Nix, Hurts, Goff, Baker, Sam, Dak, Mendoza…….. Bryce Young isn’t a top 20 quarterback right now and certainly won’t be top-10 in 10 years. I sure hope our front office is smarter than that.

These Spurs are lowkey loaded. If healthy, they could win it all this year (#2 in the West right now). I still think we’ve gotta keep Kalk on Wemby; he’s not getting completely dominated like every other NBA center.

Well I guess Wemby has decided to play tonight. Ruh Roh. I’m thinking we put Kalkbrenner on him a lot early (if Kalk fouls out, so be it). Will be interesting to see the lineups Coach Lee puts out there. This is gonna be a tough one.

Looks like Wemby is OUT today. Same with Dylan Harper. Also looks like both Coby and Kalk will play today. We NEED to win this one.

ESPN Mock Draft ESPN posted their latest mock draft today, showing the Hornets with the #14 and #19 overall picks. At #14 they have Kentucky C/PF Jayden Quaintance going to Charlotte. Dude is a monster. At #19 they have Arizona F Koa Peat coming here. Holy hell, after watching some of their tape I would be FLOORED to add those two 18 year old big men. Anyone have any inside info on either?

We are missing another piece. I don’t what it is, but I hope the front office has figured it out. Giannis or Bam would be insane.

This one would have been big. Disappointed .

Normal Powell out Andrew Wiggins also out Nicola Jovic out Terry Rozier still suspended Hornets HAVE to win this game. Focus on Bam and Herro and force the backups to beat you.
