If what's been reported so far is all we got out of this I'm on record now. Fug Mitch.

Wait, I’m just catching up. We drafted Duren and traded him for 4 motherfuging 2nd round picks?!

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

Still not as bad as taking Reymond Felton and Sean May in the same year lmao

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

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.

Nah, the Panthers have been to the SB a few times in recent memory. They have been to the big games. They just cannot win it. The Hornets haven't been remotely close since the old Hornets days of the 90s/early 2000s.

Add in Charlotte FC, 3 different sports teams with no real head coaches 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.

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.
