So essentially they don’t want too many rookies and are fine with trading a lottery pick for a future pick that will sure to be worse than their current pick along with acquiring some picks for the Greensboro Swarm… like they couldn’t even get a vet player out of the deal? They couldn’t attach Hayward to the deal to offload his salary? They are just giving away picks now…

Yes, pretty much. This is why Charlotte will never go anywhere further than borderline playoff team. Moves like this. The Detroit Lions of the NBA.

The Denver 1st round pick will be in the 20s 

We have no idea but if it is 13 or better it will be surprising 

Kup is about to show his worth as the contracts are coming

No idea what the fug is going on.

 

Even if that's with the 2025 1st rounder that's still just a bunch of late 20's-50's picks. Couldn't dump a contract or pick up a youngish vet starter? I really don't understand the urgency to let go of whoever you pick immediately. We traded down like a team wanting to trade up lol.

@cuttingedge..Not a Duke fan...but people are acting like we passed on Shaq or something. 12 other teams passed on Duren including the Spurs who everybody thought would take him. I'm a basketball fan period and I still think Mark Williams is a fine pick. Like I said earlier the trade was confusing.

Yes…you don’t want to know.  So fuggin ridiculous 

Jordan needs to sell this fuging team. He’s clueless as Tepper. Goddamnit can we just get some solid teams with solid leadership in Charlotte? Is that too much to ask? We’re jokes in 2 leagues. And here I was thinking we were building something with Melo and Miles. Tragic.

This is my problem with the trade. I don't mind the player being traded if they liked Williams better. We've seen top 5-20 guys fall before and not be good for the Hornets. My issue is trading a lotto pick for peanuts.

This is a little better, but not much.

      So, after Sunday's game does that mean we're stuck with Bryce for the foreseeable future?

      Boy we agree on the dink and dunk. I don’t want to watch that kind of football.  I mean okay if you win with it, it could be tolerable but it feels claustrophobic, constrained, limited, boring.  But for some reason I love a smash mouth heavy run game that wins the LOS and gets the backs to the second level.

      I am really sorry  that  happened to you they say to never meet your sports heroes i have friends who met  mickey mantle when they were young and he was a belligerent alcoholic at the time  ut broke their hearts  I had the opportunity to meet and spend  time with Cam Newton.     He was the polar opposite of Steve Smith and his public image.   Polite.  Honest when asked question.  You could tell the things that mattered to him and the things that  didnt. The disappointments in himself and the things that hurt him  those qualities make him quite a good interviewer too  i genuinely liked him   Im sure as young, rich, sports hero, he has not been a choir boy but there is goodness in him  the time i met him i took one of my friends with me from the west coast. She said she didn't like him and wasn’t enthusiastic about meeting him.  She left loving him   No one can say anything bad about ‘her Cam’ anymore

      Agree about oline. They've tried their best to improve that area. But honestly, has it looked like the most expensive oline in the NFL to you? Not just with Bryce. With Dalton's one game where they almost got the old man killed.  Also YAC shouldn't always be hitting a guy in stride while he's running full speed. Pickens killed us after the catch and those weren't all hit-in-stride plays. I remember a play in Miami when a guy caught a 5 yards curl and took it like 30-40 yards to the house. We don't have that in Carolina. Horn might be the closest thing to that but he can't get significant PT for whatever reason. If Bryce keeps trusting his receivers to make plays, I think he'll become more consistent. Seemed like he only trusted TMac. And force feeding one receiver isn't sustainable. Defenses will start to blanket him and take him out of the game. And yeah, keep taking deep shots. I hate all that dink and dunk football. Hate it.
