Is this the year MJ finally trades for a star?


YOLO!

Recommended Posts

I think with the name change going back to the Hornets, our owner MJ may be looking for a face of the franchise moving forward. We have the assets (young talent/lottery picks) to go after a star this year. Do you guys think now is the time to make a big splash?

 

If so who do you feel we should go after that is realistic no Durant/Lebron of course.

I would love to get Russell Westbrook.

 

I know some of you are thinking no way OKC trades Westbrook, but they have a poor mans version of Westbrook already with Reggie Jackson, if they get off to a bad start I can see them trading Westbrook if they don't improve.

 

You mean to tell me MKG/1rd (lottery pick) isn't enough to get Westbrook out of OKC?

There's no way they trade Westbrook. Yeah they are a good team still without him but look at how that team did without him. People make fun and critique how Westbrook should play. But to be honest without him they aren't much. So yeah I would love that but it aint happening

Klay plays so stiff..great shot but not a great driver. But I guess Kemba and MKG are the slashers so a deep threat shooting guard is a premium for the team.

However would he improve the Hornets?! Yep.

Stephon Curry would be so perfect and is criminal he is not in Charlotte. If his ankle is good Id trade a ransom for him.

Oh hell yeah. I would rather have him

Hands down. But I didnt realistically think it would happen. Would absolutely love it if it did tho. If they fail to make the playoffs(which will be hard fr them to do) I would def call them up and say hey wanna make a deal

    • A rookie that has never played a snap and a proven 1000K NFL WR are not going to be viewed the same in these type rankings.  And calling draft picks, lotto picks, isn't some new quip I just invented.  take the big 3 Hubbard, AT, insert whatever 3rd Panther you want vs Kamara, Hill, Olave.  Most football folks outside of Carolina are picking the Saints there IMO.    
    • You didn’t really address the point, just like you ignored the point about the RBs initially, and saying “they are all lotto picks” is just a really silly reduction because you could say that about literally any player rookie or vet every snap, every game, every year. It is well known that different positions have different hit rates, and I would argue different types of prospects within position groups as well, and that hit rates change the further down in the draft you go. Everybody knows QB is different and that, for example, first round OL have a really high success rate. Using your lotto ticket analogy…again…you are saying a lotto ticket with a 1 in 100 chance of hitting is the exact same thing as a lotto ticket with a 1 in 2 chance of hitting (this is an example, don’t take these odds literally). The point was he is no more of a lotto ticket than the 31yr old receiver coming off a major knee injury, and in my opinion he is better odds with a higher potential “jackpot”. Saying one player is an “lotto ticket” while another isn’t is just not sound logic. You have no idea who will break out, regress, get injured, etc. There are safer bets than others, that’s all. I don’t think Diggs is a safe bet and even if he was, weighing him over all of the Panthers WRs plus 2 1k rushers is just dumb. You can disagree if you want. The list is stupid.
    • Yeah, this is all projections of how it will turn out. Inevitability this list will look ridiculous in a full 2025 sesson hindsight, most likely. Still, I am pretty surprised that so many bristled at being thought of as having very, very lowly ranked WR and TE units. We literally have been for years. All you have to do is just have things stay the same and those are immediately bottom 5 units. It is easy to see why one would be reticent to have lofty expectations in the preseason. Gotta show it first when you are a perennial cellar dweller. That's just life at the bottom.
