But wasn’t Coby starting? Will be interesting to see if the +/- drops coming off the bench.

White plays better defense. I get the feeling Sexton was a little bit of a liability in that area. We also got our 2 2nds back by taking Tyus Jones.

Since Pat got waived, it’s being reported Jones will possibly be kept. That’s a lot of point guards, they have to be planning something

Ball is winning me over. Seems like he and others are getting serious, becoming killers. I haven't been this interested in the Hornets since the glory days. 

Shout out to the Locked on Hornets guys, one of the best podcasts out there.

Yeah I've been all in on the trade LaMelo bandwagon, and still would for the right price...but don't think you can this season now. We're rolling the dice with his injury history, but if the light switch finally turned on for him, he's here to stay.

Really? Without looking, which is which:

(Career)

29.7mpg, 43.3% FG, 36.8% 3p, 3.7rb, 3.9ast, 1.9to, 15.4pts

29.2mpg, 47.1% FG, 38.8% 3p, 2.7rb, 3.7ast, 2.3to, 18.4pts

I didn’t realize the stats were so close.  Feels like Coby plays a better all around game than Sex.  Plays within the flow better too.  Excited to see if it works out cuz he could really help when Melo gets dinged again.  Good call out though.

Is White that much better? They are both on expiring contracts. Is it worth the loss in chemistry?

I think Sexton only worked if he was the main offensive threat on the floor.  With the 2nd unit he produced but didn’t really match the unselfish nature of the team.  Coby might not be as efficient of a shooter as Colin, but he is a better facilitator.

Hopefully Coby can focus on creating for teammates and getting to the rim instead of taking too many 3s.

The best this franchise has been since the Baron Davis days. 

Amazing how much better this team is once they got Jordan out of the building.

I haven't watched this much Hornets basketball since 2002.

Tyus Jones to Mavs for Malaki Branham. Weird move. Might be setting up another move

I believe shams said it saves 7 mil in cap for the hornets as well.

Creates a 7m dollar trade exception that they can use in another trade. It also saves them about 2m in cap.

It was 7 mil in trade exception to be exact
