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.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
