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?

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      And once again I showed you it’s been pretty even. We spent 2nd and 3rd rounders this past draft on edge rushers. No one’s going to sit here and do the math on a draft value chart etc. the only reason I even entertained this was because you said we’ve spent nothing on defense when that simply isn’t true. It also didn’t help we traded our ONLY WR worth a damn to trade up for Bryce soo… And this is kind of the issue with the anti Bryce crowd. This crowd tends to blame him for the trade up. I was team Stroud. Had the panthers not taken Young the only other QB they were going to take was Richardson. So your issue should be with Tepper, Morgan, Fitterer not Bryce.  Bryce is who he is and it was pretty obvious who he was during the draft process. Bryce is slowly developing into that guy most thought he’d be. Give him a WR like Jamo and this offense as a whole would improve greatly.  Anyone thinking he was the next Pat Mahomes or Josh Allen is clearly slow. Bryce was always going to need pieces around him much like EVERY other QB Burrow has Chase and Higgins and they’ve done nothing. After losing in AFC Championship in 2022, Burrow is 17-15. QB’s need a team around them It’s why a Jalen Hurts led Eagles team dismantled a Pat Mahomes led KC team in the SB Imo the QB’s doing the most with the least up until this year have been Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson  This year it’s Drake Maye and Josh Allen  Outside of the 3-5 elite type QB’s I’m not really sure what people expect here. Is Bryce ever going to be in that elite category? Nope. Should we punt on Bryce and keep swinging? I don’t think so. Should we keep swinging while hanging onto Bryce? Yeah but I don’t know what that looks like This team as a whole isn’t very good. Offense and defense and that’s the simple truth

      I didn't move the goal posts. But anyone who follows football who wants to engage in a rational discussion can't argue that 10 7th round picks are equal to 10 1st rounders in value. The argument has always been we haven't spent as much on defense has we have on offense. Draft picks have value just like salary. We have not spent the same amount of draft pick salary cap on defense that we have on offense since drafting Bryce. It's not even close. Just the 2 1sts we used on Bryce, 2 overall 1sts have a value of 6000. That doesn’t even factor in DJ Moore or the 2 2nds. Bryce cost more than everything we've spent on defense in 6 damn years.
