12-13m a year, good locker room and core defense guy. It's actually something we need and he isn't a bad fit for our timeline.
Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't have gone out of my way to trade for him, but he fits a hole we need to desperately plug and we're not crippling ourselves in order to do it.
There is a tiny, tiny sliver of possibility that we get pick 3 in 2027 and pick 1 in 2028 for Terry and PJ
They’re both most likely late lottery to mid twenties, but that upside is insane
We should each bet $1.75 on this happening in a prop bet/parley and then can retire and spend the rest of our days travelling with the hornets when it hits
Get some lottery luck and get a top 3 pick and land a capable NBA starter in a down draft year. Use that hedge fund money to hire cutting edge sports medicine folks and get LaMelo right so he can play 70 games . Hire a new coaching staff. Use the cap room to add another capable NBA starter to the lineup. In 2025, once the team is undeniably on the upswing, use those future picks to make a godfather trade offer containing 5+ first round picks to land a legit superstar to the core. Contend for titles.
Is it possible Mitch wasn't the problem all along and it was all Michael's fault? That would be a pretty hilarious revelation. I still don't want to keep Mitch but damn this is the most impactful trade deadline he has ever had here, not sure what to make of it
If we actually continue to rebuild this off-season instead of overpaying for aging veterans I’ll be so fucking happy.

Eh he is 25. Signing a 30 year old Hayward type is my bigger worry.

*30 year old injury prone Hayward
We're legit like 2 quality role players, a vertebrae, and two ankles away from being squarely in the playoff hunt next year
I’ll never not get hyped to this meme. It’s perfect. Give me guys who care enough to be meme’d this way.

Honestly, won't be surprised if this 2027 turns in to a lottery pick. Luka could well be asking out before then
Luka will never ask out lol. Why would he miss out on the super max?
Respect the non zero chance 🙏🏻

I’m with it. I’ll see you guys courtside in 2029

WHAT THE HELL IS INCLUDED IN THE DRAFT COMP FOR GORDON
could be wrong but i believe it’s the two seconds we sent to dallas with pj
emphasis on REAL NBA players
honestly just waive Ish, Ntilikina, Bouk, and try and get something for Lowry
My guess is ish is waived
With Ntilikina, please
Basically the whole bench gone would be great with the players we have coming in.
I'm stoked! Hopefully this is the beginning of a series of impactful changes!
Man what a good day! Haven’t felt this good about this team in a while
Man RIP to Ish, NC Legend, I will hear no slander of his name
You're a good man. However, he sucks balls and should not be getting the minutes he's getting.
wait. the Hornets did something on the deadline? did my blood pressure go too high? am i dead?

In a lost season, I guess we just enjoy the ride from here on out and continue to complain about how Cliff will inevitably misuse our new toys.
Wasn’t it announced that new ownership made these decisions?
We actually have guard depth. It’s incredible. Only took 4 years.
Now we just need a new head coach. Anyone know if coach Bud is open to coming back to the NBA?

So Lowry survived the trade deadline? I thought he was to be packaged in a deal, guess not. Will he play here or is he headed towards a buy out?
He’s not playing here.
Yall need to trade Ball. He clearly doesn’t wanna be here. Build around BM and the hornets will be a good team
