True but I think people heard at a discount and ran with it. 6 teams in the top 10 are wanting to trade back. I think we mentioned ours could be had at a discount to get some conversations started. We should still get decent value despite the top 10 sucking outside of a couple players. 

Look at the draft. The talent in the 2nd and mid 1st are not that different than at 8. The biggest difference is who has been talked about endlessly to fill the void since so few of the guys in that second teir worked out enough to allow any seperation that were at the top of that teir. I just don't think the traditional trade value holds up when the talent just isn't there at thr top of the 1st. It's even worse top 5. The 8th pick is probably holds the value of a pick in the 20s in other drafts but still has to pay a fixed cost so most if not all the players in the top 10 will be overpayed for thr talent level recieved which is usually reserved for taking shots on a QB.

It's a really weird draft and really unimpressive from a value standpoint in the early first. And they still have to pull off a trade or spend time justifying a flawed pick in the top 10 if stuck with it. I think that part hit close to home for everyone Panther related more than losing a little value on a pick with meh options in comparison to other years.

Agreed. It’s a weird draft. Not a great one for top 10 picks…

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By t96 · Posted

      I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).

      Rams are willing to deal one of the 1st rounders for all-pro talent in secondary

      It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
