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. 

The Hornets franchise is cursed with bad trades, poor drafting,  and cheap owners. Throw in loaded ping pong balls in the lottery to.

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 we traded Duren because keeping 2 rookies wasn't "prudent" according to Mitch, but traded him for 6 future Greensboro Swarm members? Got fleeced for marbles. No harm in keeping both guys on the roster through summer league before accepting this poo trade, coulda gotten a way more "prudent" deal.

Going from pure delight picking Duren to total devastation. I had to step away from the computer for a bit. Just turned on MLB for awhile. This team is painful. So close and I am fine with Mark Williams if that's who they liked. But this trade is a disaster. Giving up 13 for that and not dumping Haywards contract is a massive muppet move. Just terrible.

I was very reserved about this draft and considered not watching it.   To see what we actually did here makes me even more depressed with this franchise.  We are clueless

I mean we desperately needed Defense and rebounding. Plumlee/Zeller pick and rolls haven't really done poo for us over the last 5 years if they are useless in the paint

Indeed they haven't, however Duren offered better switchability.. Duren could essentially guard 2-5.. you're not getting that with Mark at all..might as well stick with Plumlee defensively in that situation.. on the contrary.. Williams does offer better shot blocking.. pick your poison.. I personally prefer being able to keep the guy in front of you

To be fair, I think Mark has much more potential offensively than Mason ever had. He's already a better FT shooter and has a decent shot with some range.

      Great season regardless of what happens. From starting out 4-14 to ending 44-38 is incredible progress and future is bright from here. I do think we can beat the Heat and then win on the road against either Orlando or Philly assuming Embiid doesn’t miraculously return sooner. But if not, a higher draft pick is nice too

      I know a DT that's asking for a trade: 🤔 maybe a home discount can be worked out. Dan Morgan could create up to $80 million in space through restructures of stars like Derrick Brown, Jaycee Horn, or Taylor Moton. They could also include players like Tershawn Wharton ($18.6M cap hit) in the trade to balance the salaries. Carolina Receives: DT  Dexter Lawrence II New York Receives: 2026 2nd Round Pick (No. 51 Overall): A premium Day 2 selection that fits the for  Lawrence  after his 0.5-sack season in 2025. WR  Xavier Legette : A young, high-upside receiver who provides the playmaking depth HC John Harbaugh needs for his offense. 2026 4th Round Pick: Immediate mid-round value. 2027 4th Round Pick (via MIN): Future capital acquired in the  Adam Thielen  trade.  ----- Stone Forsythe* (another young player as a potential trade option)provides immediate offensive line retooling for HC John Harbaugh.    John Harbaugh's history in Baltimore proves he values draft volume over individual superstars.    Just my 2cents

      Moved to Tuesday, not Wednes because of scheduling with Flyers game or something in Philly. But I don't feel good about the Heat.  It has been a great season regardless.  Team just been playing so hard to move up since a bad start and just picked a bad time to get gassed.  It's like almost everyone is shooting cold at the same time even wide open shots.   Maybe atmosphere and playoffs kick off a spark.  I'd rather be in a series than a one and done though. The team has a good foundation to build on regardless of what happens.
