With the Pelicans fighting others to get to Scoot and the Hornets smitten with Miller... I had to do some research. Looking into the potential of getting Brandon Ingram and Trey Murphy and pick 14 sounds like something I'm warming up to.  Trey Murphys game has Miller written on it and I think his upside is on par with some solid 2 way wings. I say Gordon, Terry (allows us to get out  both contracts  and give McGowan more burn)and pick 2 for Ingram, Murphy and pick 14. Possibly even bring Jose Alvardo in for a backup pg too.  That's give us a starting lineup of 

Ball Ingram Murphy Miles/Pj and Mark Williams. Easily one of the top starting 5s in the East.  Take a look at Murphys Game for those who don't watch him. A high flyer with  1 of the highest 3 point percentages in the NBA last year.

Forgot to mention whoever they decided to pick at 14 ( possible backup guard for Melo)or we could use 14 and 27 and move up to get back into the top 8 to select a target.  Or use 14 and 27 to go get another young piece on the trade block.

I can appreciate the effort here. But I just can't sell myself on trading for other teams leftovers as being the recipe to end our 20 year playoff series win drought. Why do the Pelicans (New Orleans yuck) any favors? They've already been gifted two first overall picks within the last decade while we sit at zero. If they are targeting a particular prospect heavily at 2nd overall we should take that prospect ourselves and keep it pushing.

I understand  and trust me, I like both rookie prospects but  I think the Pelicans understand  that contract  of Zion has hit them hard and that team in the west won't make it.   Plus Brandon is only 26 with a developing game. Murphys upside  is there too. Add in the 14th pick and there are more opportunities  to land an all star player and 2 high upside players to boot. I did read that Scoot wowed  Mitch and today is Miller's, we will here more soon.

I read that Portland is open to trades. New Orleans could work a deal with them, contingent on us drafting Miller.

Yep I saw that but all things run through the number 2 pick. Everyone knows Wemby going 1.... so technically  Charlotte  is running the draft and everyone has to hit up Charlotte  1st. If Charlotte takes Scoot... Portland won't be getting as many calls. Ton of teams want a floor general.

Don't overthink this, just take Scoot 2nd.

 

To trade with NO it would have to be Zion+ coming back and that seems unlikely and is a huge risk for the Hornets with his health (would need to do some serious due diligence and be convinced he will change his off court habits).

Nah I don't think it'd have ti be Zion... it us way too much risk vs reward for a guy who has played 113 games in 4 years. I am open to decent scenarios  if it nets the proper talent. You have to at least see wgat you can get if it's a bidding war for 2. Otherwise you go with one of the 2 prospects but we could reshape the roster swiftly with the leverage  from 2.

I know Miller is a great talent but recently I read where there are some issues with his game translating to the NBA.  I hope we take Scoot.  

Here's a question for you diehard Hornet fans.  Do you take Scoot and package Melo in a trade?  Revamp the whole team based around Scoot.  I like Melo but I get this feeling that when his time is up here, he is going to want out of Charlotte.

I've read that he's about to sign an extension. If Melo wants to stay here, we build around him.

I thought about that with the thought he will want to bolt at some point. I'd like to try and build around him but I think all options need to ne looked at!

      I mean, I think you're being a little hyperbolic with the last statement, but point taken.

      Pass rush was the biggest issue in tonight’s game, and we were tied for 28th in sacks this season. That is a major area of need that has to get addressed this offseason. I just don’t see a path where there’s a game changing QB you can bring in with where we are drafting and quality of veterans that will be available. We certainly can do better than Dalton as a backup, and should ideally have a developmental guy  (perhaps a day 3 pick this year). We have bryce for one more year on a reasonable contract and then I think 2027 is the year that you reset that position (unless he massively improves).

      Agreed, honestly basically bringing this group back as a healthy unit would be alright.  Brady Christensen should be resigned to a very reasonable deal with him recovering from the Achilles.  Atleast we're alright at 4 of our 5 spots with Lewis, Mays, Hunt, and Moton, Nijman was decent.  While if we can snag a deal on someone, take a stab, however our resources need to go to Linebacker, Pass Rush and a real option outside Tmac (coker is amazing, but if we can get someone who isnt braindead opposite Tmac, we can fully unleash Coker AND Tmacs full potential, cant move him into the slot if racoon boy is out there licking doorknobs).
