[MillionDollarCam]

And a 2030 second round pick for Nurkic.

This is a great trade for the Hornets but who plays center except Kalk?

Moussa

Current Roster:

G - LaMelo Ball, Tre Mann (needs QO), K.J. Simpson (two-way), Vasilije Micic (buy-out candidate)

G - Collin Sexton, Kon Knueppel, Liam McNeeley, Nick Smith, DaQuan Jeffries (non-guaranteed), Damion Baugh (two-way)

F - Brandon Miller, Josh Green, Josh Okogie (non-guaranteed), Sion James

F - Miles Bridges, Grant Williams, Tidjane Salaun

C - Moussa Diabate (non-guaranteed), Ryan Kalkbrenner

Doubt Micic is on the roster, don’t see the Hornets keeping Jeffries either, Baugh’s two-way probably gets terminated, and I could see James being on a two-way.

That would leave the Hornets one roster spot to address the center position…

(2) G - Ball, Mann, Simpson (two-way)

(4) G - Sexton, Knueppel, McNeeley, Smith

(3) F - Miller, Green, Okogie, James (two-way)

(3) F - Bridges, Williams, Salaun

(2) C - Diabate, Kalkbrenner

 

We could open one extra roster spot by waiving Okogie.

Ball, Miller and Bridges will take turns getting injured every other game or so.

That’s valid lol

I'd like to see better center depth but overall a great trade to say the least. Sexton also follows the clear value the FO is placing on culture. But he is on an expiring. Still gives us options going forward. I feel like there's another corresponding move or two in the future.

I'm actually excited to see this new group together. At least the team is trying.

Been here since the Coliseum days. Hornets were the first pro team I ever rooted for. If they're ever going to get out of the gutter they have to establish a culture. They are trying to do that. I have no idea if it will be successful but it's a start.

Assuming Mann is back I’d go ahead and move Green and the first rounder from PHX for a starting center. I prefer Okogie to Green anyway.

They used to own this town.

I wonder if things would've been any different if we hadn't gotten the Panthers so soon after.
