2024-25 Hornets General Discussion

All you can do is laugh at this point.

This team is cursed

I would love to be a fly on the wall of the locker room and FO

Wow, this is so f’d up. Yes, we must be cursed. You just cannot make this stuff up. It never ends with this franchise.

I am so incredibly disappointed right now. This has to be a hall of fame moment in terms of hornets disappointments. Ironically, along the lines of being excited about drafting Jalen Duren only to immediately find out we traded Duren for mark Williams.

I’m still mad about trading that pick

On the bright side, NSJ (the main result of that trade) is starting to look like a player… but yeah.

I have bad news for you. We traded Duren for Nick Smith Jr and 2nd round picks. We have 13th and 15th pick lol. Could have drafted Mark and Duren.

This is crazy. Just as I had started warming up to this trade it gets voided? They can’t keep playing with my emotions like this. Certainly puts a lot of things in perspective about why we were so willing to cut bait with him. I guess we just have to hope Mark makes us glad he stayed. Here’s to hoping there are a lot more 38 point nights in his future.

What if we are secret geniuses and did this to help us get him on a cheaper extension? 4d chess… JK. We are the Hornets

I’d like to see a 40/20/5 on the 19th in LA.

Any chance Nurkic is a buyout now?

I think we are more likely to keep Nurk and use 20m expiring next year to try and get something.

But this is pretty unprecedented so I wouldn’t rule anything out.

So he can go help the Lakers. I hope not.

Knowing how Hornets Law works, just waiting for Silver to announce that our attempted trade goes against the integrity of the lakers, I mean league, and take away a first round pick.

And that lost pick is given to the Lakers and it’s Cooper Flag.

This hurts, i wanted Knecht and the 1st round pick. I’d pretty much given up on Mark because of his lack of reliability and probably wouldn’t have give him an extension. Man it sucks being a Hornets fan

One of the downsides for LA going back to being an apron team with rolling this trade back is they can’t. His salary is over the MLE.

If nothing else, this trade deadline was humbling to a number of players.

It can’t get any worse, right?

Oh, wait. I see that Scoot Henderson has been ballin’ out and getting wins in Portland as of late. His 3-pointer is 37%.

Trade with PHX still shows as pending, hush your mouth.

How poorly does this reflect on our medical team and front office? Pretty bad look.

This is a very bad look on our organization and mark Williams has less than zero trade value. This fucking team man.
