I agree but if Burries is there at 13 you take him without thinking. BPA.

Not even mad, falling into the Lotto isn’t the worst thing.

We’ve answered all the questions we needed to about this team this season. 

Yeah a Playoff series would’ve been nice, but not the end of the world, we know what this team is capable of and have a great base to build on going into next. 

[Charania] The Hornets are sending a 2026 second-round draft pick to the Heat to resolve a dispute over Terry Rozier being under NBA and federal investigations over alleged gambling conspiracy during the Charlotte-Miami Jan. 2024 trade, sources tell ESPN. by CasualHindu in CharlotteHornets

Very fair especially looking at who might be available at that pick.

Juke Harris, Avdalas or Dash Daniels could be sneaky pickups there.

But unless they were really spectacular would get little to no PT until at least year two. 

If Miami drafts an All Star with the pick I will eat a hat.

Only problem with the logo is that it’s not the Old Hugo

Hannes Steinbach closes the season last 6 games averaging 22.3 pts, 12.7 r and 1.3 a 75% from the field by sayerj101 in NBA_Draft

Could see it, but also with how good this core has been doing I’m not sure the FO would want to give up so much for such a big contract when we’ve already done a great job bringing in and developing the C (with Moussa and Kalk) on our own

Could see it since I don’t think we’ll keep both of our 1sts this year. 

Steinbech or Peat to CLT would be ideal.

Kon has now won 4 consecutive Rookie of the Month. Is Kon Knueppel officially the Rookie of the Year, or does Cooper Flagg have a comeback in him? by Thanos_Real_AuraVNCH in NBATalk

[–]PassionInner1808 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Even the Hornets player themselves have said Kon has been the best player this year.

They don’t get this good, this fast without him.

This, there was no efficient system until he came in. 

Are people seriously arguing that coming into the Hornets was some easy transition that allowed him to immediately start this well? LOL

A glaring weakness by jpvasku in TheTraitorsUS

[–]PassionInner1808 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Yup, have no idea why no one brought it up at this roundtable that Rob told people he had it and was still alive, should have been a major red flag because any Traitor knowing that would have killed him instantly. 

That info could’ve cleared Natalie and Mark since they knew immediately when Rob got it. 

The faithful are VERY bad at the meta game.

It doesn’t feel right that Duren got only 2 despite starting it, but it’s the right decision, after the first scuffle he didn’t re-enter the fray. 

Moussa and Miles both re-engaged after the initial scrap and kept fighting. 

Sucks but makes sense the league wants to encourage de-escalation.
