Jalen Duren plays for 2 teams…recalculate 

Just showing how was sent to New York and then flipped to Detroit. More of a timeline not a multi team breakdown

[MillionDollarCam]

Would be happy with any one of Kennedy Chandler, Alondes Williams, Dereon Seabron, Trevor Keels, or Brady Manek with our second round pick.

Ok, I get it, Kai Jones and Duren may be too similar. Williams comes in at 7'2" so he can play him at C and Kai at PF or C. That MAY be the rational.

Not me. This is minor league team bad. This is what poverty franchise fans do. They say, well at least we got something when we literally lost value from an easy win situation.

I don't disagree regarding the trade. I also don't think Mitch is the wizard some people have made him out to be the last few years. I actually tried to temper some of those expectations months back when he was being unanimously praised right before the extension. He's already worn out his welcome with the Lakers and he's going to be a dinosaur in a couple more years. Bad timing to have a talent like LaMelo waiting to become a competive team. I just watched his press conference and Mitch's reasoning for not just using both picks is asinine at best considering we got peanuts. Like I said. Dinosaur

Still an awful trade. Draft the best shooter in the draft in Griffin or trade for multiple 1sts in the future or to dump Hayward’s contract. Like I said, I can understand preferring Williams but I can’t understand the trade at all.

Hornets trading for Bryce McGowens from Nebraska at pick 40

We traded to get Bryce McGowens at 40. 

[MillionDollarCam]

Have no idea who Bryce McGowens is but his efficiency is horrible.

Yeah another bad trade. Much better players available 

[MillionDollarCam]

 

Looks like the Hornets are keeping 45 and sending two future second round picks.

Boone says otherwise, 45 and one of the seconds we received from NY for McGowens.

And another thing...

We could of had Duren and AJ Griffin... Ugh.

The dream. How stupid this team is. I swear.

So we dont want too many rookies so we trade a great pick for a bunch of seconds. Then we trade some of those seconds for the #40 pick. So instead of having a number #13 and #15 we have a #15 abd #40. Anyone wanna tell Kupcheck that it works out the same and he looks like a dumbass?
