DO NOT TRADE #3 or NEXT YEARS FIRST ROUNDER (LOADED DRAFT)

Honestly whatever they want they are going to have to take back Batum with it.

My offer looks like this:  Terry Rozier, Batum and both 2nd rounders this year. Still drafting Edwards or Okongwu if they are there.

Batum would drop off the books 2 years before Westbrook plus they get a young point.  Thats the deal.

Westbrooks contract is pretty terrible tbh but he is obviously still very good.

He wants out of Houston and his contract is gigantic.  Salary dump basically.

I just figure they can get some return out of him from somebody. A team who feels they’re a piece away may feel he is worth giving up a mid to low first or something along those lines, at the very least a second. With where we are as a franchise I don’t even want to give up a second round pick for him.

Thats fair...he is on the decline and for us to make this move it has to be an amazing deal and include Batum.  Period.

If we give up a first rounder for him this franchise is lost and ridiculous.  Cant do that.

I'm sick of the Hornets going after other teams' sloppy seconds stars. Westbrook, Howard, Lin, Lance, Big Al, Rozier, etc. Either go after a legit superstar or draft and develop players internally. Hard pass on Westbrook in any trade.

To be fair, Lance was in his prime. Big Al was under the age of 30. Rozier is still only 24, I do believe.

Yeah but as we saw with those guys, they had big questions marks and didn't last very long here/have success here. Rozier is to be determined, and I actually was pleasantly surprised by him last season but honestly I don't see him being a part of our core here, and I'd be shocked if he's here in 5 years.

If the Hornets really are interested, they have the leverage here if the rumors coming out of Houston are true. 

Like someone mentioned above, the only deal i’d make is Westbrook for Batum and Rozier.  I’m guessing they just want to get rid of his huge contract, they make that happen with Batum’s expiring contract and still get a capable starting PG. 

I personally wouldn’t make that deal, i’d rather be free of Batum’s contract after this year, but if it happens..it’d be an exciting starting lineup to watch, with the possible addition of James Weisman as our starting center or any of the other top rookies coming off the bench.

This is literally the last thing you want the hornets to do for a litany of reasons

First and foremost russ is a ball dominant aging star that won't win anything on a team with him as he currently plays

Two we'd be sacrificing our cap

Three this would take away playing time from our young guysp

Four wed be competitive enough to miss the lotto but not enough for the playoffs

Five russ s play style is not meant for longevity

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      By strato · Posted

      Lol. Yeah. First of all, some people here had it in for him because they wanted McConkey. They were down on him from the start. As soon as he falls short they got their knives out. Don’t y’all deny it.   But he has given them ammunition with his miscues, good lord not making that catch in Philedelphia for the TD got him fried.    I think some of that got nasty because Bryce defenders need to place blame elsewhere. Talk down about his weapons. There is just bias against him from different factions. Different quarters.    He isn’t helping himself much either, there was no real redemption on the field. Not of the magnitude he needed to produce. At the same time he has for sure been open and I ha en’t seen them use him the way I thought they were going to. So I don’t know what to think think about it really.    My thing is, we have a HC and OC that has their foundation built on WR coaching. That morphed into QB coaching and whispering, if you will. But these fugers know WRs, supposedly. I don’t know how much they have worked with him. I don’t know how much extra he has put in either. I do suspect Bryce Young has gotten most of their attention and they haven’t put XL as a priority project.    Young needed the attention, I get that. I’d like to see them take him on as a real priority before giving up on him. Where we are now is he got his notice that he isn’t good enough. Need to see if that got through to him, maybe he bears down and focuses.  Or maybe he can’t. I can’t defend his shitty play but I do see flashes of a guy that could be an asset and I would just like the staff to take one good last swing at bringing it out of him before they give up.

      @MHS831I liked your thinking  historically: ILB, S and TE are positions not heavily emphasized in the draft. If you could sign starters at each of those positions it would leave round one open to BPA which would hopefully be an edge, OT or to contradict myself ILB too
