I don’t think this is far off from happening once he has a healthy stretch and keeps the high level of play up. Seems this front office is resetting and is going to do the OKC playbook and is eyeing 2027-2028 to start making a run. 

Except history says we can't draft for poo or win a trade while okc consistently smashes draft picks and always robs people blind on trades

The Hornets front office perpetually has no idea what they are doing.

I'm fine with this trade, especially since Williams hasn't played much over the years. That said, I'd prefer if they had traded Ball, who's also injured way too much, and Bridges.

I heard the lakers offered a 2045 first round pick too but the hornets declined.

And just like that the new owners and front office can fug right off. Can’t wait to draft some more incredibly raw French guys who look live they’ve never dribbled a basketball before.

Wtf is this team doing?

The Hornets are stockpiling picks and young talent. Only idiots on this page think we lost this trade. At worse, it was an even trade.

So after Richards and Williams we are back to having no center? 

Yea, I thought we were hurting for a C. We finally draft one to develop and trade him away. 

I'll never understand this franchise.

Much like the Panthers during the Tepper era, the Charlotte NBA organization, since its rebirth (Bobcats/Hornets), has done absolutely nothing to instill fan confidence in the moves they make.

They better hope they get the #1 pick so they can trade Cooper on draft night for some magic beans

After rethinking the deal I agree the Hornets got a great return.  Loved Knecht in the draft and unprotected firsts work.  
 

If the Hornets find a good big they have a really nice mix of talent

The only way the Hornets get Flagg is if the commish and rest of the NBA powers have decided he'll bust at the next level.
