Is there a move worth making at the deadline to help out the team or will they be the third wheel and get some picks? 

Not sure if busting up a team that appears to be fully gelled when healthy makes sense.  

Maybe move Sexton since he's on an expiring, (fairly) cheap contract for a late 1st or early 2nd.  

But the second you deal Sexton, Lamelo will get hurt, and we'll be stuck with Sion James playing PG.

I'd stand pat, let this team prove themselves and Lee prove himself.  

Like I said earlier in this thread, if this team stays moderately healthy and doesn't make the playoffs, blow the entire thing up starting with Lee.

No way in hell they stay healthy and don't at least pass the hawks

I don't know if Melo is the best player and I think that's a good problem to have

I know what you're saying, and don't disagree. 

But if you told the 30 current NBA GMs they had to start a team from scratch using any Charlotte Hornet, Lamelo would be the pick 30 times, and there wouldn't even be a second thought about it. 

But I do love this team's balance.  We haven't been this good, all over the court since the mid 90s.

And yet there is part of me that knows this will all fall apart in true Hornets fashion.

Second thought: Brandon Miller.  Not even close.

But LaMelo is also a stud, as is Kon, let’s just enjoy this for now.  No need for changes now.  Maybe next year.

Looks like a trade for Lonzo Ball might be in the works.  Supposedly for 2nd rd picks

https://bleacherreport.com/articles/25385856-fresh-nba-trade-rumors-lonzo-ball-joining-lamelo-hornets-amid-james-harden-darius-garland-buzz

 

But, why?  Lonzo is done, how will he make this team better?  Do we need yet another injury risk?

With lamelo on the court, the Hornets this season so far avg 124.4 pts per 100. Which would be the best offense in NBA history. When he's off the court, they avg 112.. which would rank 27th for this season. 

 

He might not be the best player and that's ok but he's 100% absolutely the engine that allows everyone around him to work.

IDK why, but according to the article there have been talks between the 2 clubs.  Don't be surprised if it happens, and also dont be surprised if it doesnt

I despise LaMelo, I think he's a clown and doesn't play through being hurt.  But he's the best player on the court when he's on the court. 

I think Brandon Miller is an absolute beast.  But like I mentioned in my previous post, LaMelo would be the first pick of every GM in the league if they had to start a team from scratch with a Hornet.

Jaren Jackson Jr to the Jazz.  He's got to be hating life now.  Goes from a down trodden franchise in a city where you can at least enjoy yourself, to a down trodden franchise in the least fun location in the NBA.

Wonder if the Hornet's inquired about him.  Jazz got him for next to nothing. 

I wouldn't call 3 first round picks nothing. I would have like to get him, I think he's an upgrade to miles but team chemistry is really high right now and makes the most sense to do nothing

      He's handing off play calling duties to fuging Brad Idzik as well so, either that mouth breather can run the playbook and Canales can grow as an all around head coach or it will be a horrible decision and both of them and BY can screw off. I'm fine with that as long as it isn't just another excuse for BY to get another year with another coach worthy of working around his limitations as a qb.

      Not only for Andersen but the whole team, having not beat the Habs this season before tonite.  Shows them that they aren't jinxed.

      I understand why people say things like it could be worse in relation to Tepper but it just doesn't jive for me. Are the optics bad? Yes. Would I want her to be the owner of my team? No. But I mean she's only been owner for a year and the Colts overall are a better run organization. As far as I know they've also never had the distinction of having the worst win percentage in all of professional sports either. Tepper has owned this team for 8 years and about the only thing that has been consistent has been the ability to continue to find different ways to achieve new lows. Even now people are saying things are different yada yada but we said these same things at certain points under Rhule Fitterer and Reich. I'm going to wait to see how the rubber meets the road this upcoming season before I make any strong conclusions about anything in relation to the longevity under this franchise going forward.
