Bonnell On A Possible Trade

@rick_bonnell: It was very clear in the 15 minutes I was on the phone with Higgins that they will explore any and all trade options.

Bonnell On If The Hornets Will Target Love

@rick_bonnell: @DocRenfrow I think that call will be made. The issue isn't just assets to Wolves. It's whether Love would commit to being in CLT long-term.

@rick_bonnell: To everyone asking me about Kevin Love: The toughest thing isn't making Wolves happy. It's getting Love to commit to CLT long-term.

I don't see it happening either, but if they were able to secure a commitment from him... I'm trading multiple players and both picks.

This team right now may have reached their cieling, so if you are able to gut the team without hurting it long-term, I think you do it.

The great thing about NBA trades is the fact that salaries have to match-up which means we'd still have nearly $20m to spend.

We def need to keep the 9th pick. We will get a sure thing 20ppg player and that's what we need next to Al.

I hate to be a buzz kill and get u down. But friend I doubt we can find that kinda player with the ninth pick. Exactly who do u see as a sure thing 20 point scorer going to us. About the best case scenario would be Aaron Gordon and he could maybe turn into Blake griffin and learn how to shoot.

I just see us getting a good player but not a 20 ppg star outta the 9th pick.

I don't see how we could get him...

 

And again, I'd much rather have a perimeter scorer with the 9th pick to compliment our inside game with Al.  Again, I'm a big KLove fan, but I don't see how we could do it without mortgaging pretty much our entire drafting future, nor do I see him agreeing to sign here long-term unless he just misses Big Al like crazy and is the biggest MJ fan in the world.

With our drafting history, mortgaging our future doesn't sound like an awful idea to be honest with you lol.

Love is being link to Golden State due to Klay Thompson. The Lakers (no7), Boston (no5), and Chicago (no16 + no19) are names in the Love rumor too.

Minny would die to have Klay Thompson, a young stud who can flat out shoot the ball and defend. GSW is hesitant to move him, but maybe they should.

This is out of this world, but maybe a 4 team deal could happen:

CHARLOTTE: Klay Thompson

Chicago: #9 pick

Golden State: Kevin Love

Minnesota: #16 + #19 + #24 + David Lee

PG: Kemba Walker

SG: Klay Thompson / Gary Neal

SF: Michael Kidd-Gilchrist / Jeff Taylor

PF: Greg Monroe / Cody Zeller

C: Al Jefferson / Bismack Biyombo

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years.

      I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
