Voth: Hurney was attempting to trade up

Damn, would be loved that pick...  I think James has Ed Reed, Sean Taylor, Polamalu-type ability.  He is going to be special.

I'm guessing it would've cost next years first, which he said he didn't want to move...  I bet the teams there in the teens were gouging once James slipped there too.  Would've loved it, likely regardless of the cost as he was my favorite player in the entire draft, but I'm still excited for our pick and the fact we didn't lose any assets.

I'm not surprised. He almost go within draft trade value range of #24 + one of our 3rds. That would've been #18/19. If we were making offers, I hope that it was dangling one of those picks. Considering James went #17, we would've gotten good value per the chart had we swung that deal. This also gives me hope that we're serious about addressing the safety position. Would not be at all surprised to see both a safety and a CB taken tomorrow. S, CB, TE would be my guess.

I'm sure teams tried to get Marty to give up too much. Old Marty would have done it. Glad he didn't. We got a great player and still have all of our picks

You actually have to go for a nice ransom remember he was ranked what 30 outta 32 poo he's been known to do dumb moves.

I’m glad he tried and I’m just as glad he didn’t let himself get swindled.

    • With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.
    • Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.
    • Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
