fugin gross, but expected.  I genuinely hate everything about this pick.  We can throw around all these intangible adjectives that don’t mean poo, but if you can’t fuging move with athletes in the pros, you aren’t gonna cut it.  Shooter or not.

Per ESPN's Shams Charania, the Charlotte Hornets traded Williams to the Phoenix Suns for the No. 29 pick in Wednesday's draft and a 2029 first-rounder. Charania added that the 2029 first-round pick will be the least favorable of Cleveland, Utah, and Minnesota's picks and will be top-five protected. 

Basically gave him away lol
 
I think he is due an extension and no way we where paying him

You can’t convince me this franchise doesn’t exist just to be a feeder for the rest of the league. They just bend over and take it at every turn.

It really does feel that way.  It’s eerie how much we help other teams.

Seriously, WTF is wrong with this front office?  Now, we have no C and drafted another role player in the lottery.

You don’t have to be convinced of a fact.  I think maybe it’s just a form of passive income for the owners and they get some tax write offs, then the money just makes itself…  i think they are in complete agreement and are complicit in facilitating talent to other teams as the league office or franchise hierarchy dictates.  It’s clear we haven’t been trying to win for a long time.

You know the Mark Williams trade would make a lot more sense if we had someone like, say, Jalen Duren on the roster as well. When it’s all said and done we’ll have traded Mark Williams and Jalen Duren for Nick Smith Jr. and 6 d league players. Somebody needs to tell the Hornets that collecting a bunch of d league players won’t cause them to Voltron into lottery picks.

We’ve got a sign around our necks “will trade lottery picks for all your most worthless picks”

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
