Interesting Bonnell tweet/deleted tweet

I'm sure at least a few of you guys saw this last night, but around 1 AM, Rick Bonnell reported that Portland and Minnesota were involved in a blockbuster trade that involved superstars and later hinted that the Hornets were involved. That fell through, but he also mentioned later in the evening that the Hornets and Wolves also discussed a huge trade that appeared to be dead, right as he started to elaborate on the trade, he deleted every tweet regarding the Hornets, but not the Wolves/Blazers. While this might be nothing at all, I find it interesting he deleted the ones related to the Hornets, but kept the ones regarding the Wolves and Blazers. As you probably know, teams absolutely hate it when the media and public find out about a trade while it's still in the negotiation stages. Perhaps Hornets PR asked Bonnell to pull his tweets because a deal is still in the works? 

 

Just a theory, but we do know the Hornets are still active. Also, here's a screenshot I got.

Very wary about "blockbuster" deals with this team, since they appear to be going in the exact opposite direction they need to be going in as far as roster building goes. But, include the right players and get back a fair amount in return and it might not be that bad.

There have been rumors the Wolves are shopping Anthony Bennett so he would be the primary player involved.  Pekovic has the most crippling contract for them though and has been mentioned as well.  Rubio was more just rumors and if they were talking with Portland, I don't see Ricky in those discussions given their roster. 

MN is 3 wide at center right now and cap wise, they would likely want an asset with a non-guaranteed contract which would be Zeller.

When I first saw the tweet and "blockbuster" figured it was Lillard heading to Minny to team with Wiggins.  Doubt Portland would give up Lillard easily, but if they're serious about a full rebuild thought it could be possible. 

 

Never knew the Hornets were involved.  I'm sure it would've just been in a cap capacity, to help push the deal forward without bringing much in.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      The same folks crying about the OL right now were crying about it in 2023 too. We have tied up over 100 million dollars in two interior olinemen alone. We've invested multiple first and second round picks in the offense. We hired an offensive minded head coach. This is an offensive team. The offense needs to produce or people need to be replaced.

      This is the same place that has ridiculed and blasted Caleb Williams at every opportunity he has his team sitting at 10-4 in the same NFC that the Panthers are competing in. And their division in the NFC North is as or more competitive as our division. Yet from the same people who have very high standards for Williams we get every excuse imaginable for the smallest starting QB in the league even when he and his team continue to disappoint when the pressure is on. You lot aren't any less inconsistent than anyone else.

      The Panthers are 9th in cap spent on offense this year.  However next season is already a different story  The Panthers as it stands right now will be 18th in cap spent on offense and 8th in cap spent on defense  The Panthers are currently set to spend more on defense next year than they are on offense this season Guys like Jaycee and Moehrig cap numbers take a big jump. Wharton has a massive cap hit   Jaycee Moehrig and Wharton in 2025 The same 3 in 2026 So this same defense as it stands right now will cost more in 2026 than this offense does right now… Got anything else you want to try?
