NBA Rumors: Chicago Bulls’ Nikola Vučević Has No Trade Market

I loved him back in the day. I guess he’s just to old now.

If I was a team like the Wizards or Jazz id definitely be looking into a sign and trade for Cam Thomas. I don’t think he’d fit on the Hornets but I think as a young scorer you’d want to take a flyer on him if you don’t have another young star to look to.

I don’t think cam Thomas is a great fit between Melo and Miller. Both of those guys require plenty of touches and shots. I think that’s why Kon Knueppel was drafted. Kon had ELITE offensive efficiency in college:

Strengths:

  • Elite shooter with deep range and efficiency—38.3% from three on 5.7 attempts per game and 89.6% from the line.

  • One of the most efficient offensive players in the country: 1.136 PPP overall (95th percentile), with 1.21 PPS on all shot types.

  • High-level spot-up scorer—1.385 PPP (46% frequency), and 1.25 PPP on catch-and-shoot plays.

  • Deadly from off-ball movement and screens—1.169 PPP off screens (50th percentile), showing * balance and quick release.

  • Smart cutter (1.226 PPP) and efficient transition scorer (1.119 PPP, 95th percentile).

  • High basketball IQ, strong decision-making as a secondary playmaker—2.6 assists per game with a low turnover rate.

  • Strong handle and capable of initiating offense in pick-and-roll settings—1.114 PPP in P&R as a ball handler (91st percentile).

This is practically the opposite of cam Thomas’ game. I think an efficient scorer and a guy who can move well on offense without the ball in his hand is exactly what Melo and Miller need.

Edit: and we already have the cam Thomas guy in sexton. But sexton is a bettter passer.

I am sure that Magic talked to him about continuous personal improvement. Glad to see him elevate his health to the next level:

Brother Jusef learned quickly at the feet of Vasa Micic.

Is he in the medical line to sign in Charlotte?

Carolina Blazers? :laughing: (Yes I know it says they intend to keep the team in Portland)

Not hornets related per se, but it’s the boring stretch of the summer. Thoughts on these? Pretty sick pair of Sabrina Ionescu’s. I kind of want them.

Guys, this was a topic of discussion here a year or two ago. Mystery solved!

I know this is super off topic, but I made this and wanted to share it

Deer Mitch,

Thank you for saving me the aggravation of vomiting as the hornets pay PJ 90 million to show up every fourth basketball game.

Dear Michael,

You couldn’t give Kawhi a 29 million dollar fake job to play here?

That is a fascinating story if true

Steve Kim had a funny joke on Whitlock show today. He said the smain story is how Kahwai’s agent managed to get him not 1 but 2 no-show jobs

That makes me really hopeful for him that his intro to the league is not a indicator of his future.

Gee, this must be going well

For the love of all things good, will somebody please take away KD’s phone and keep him off of social media:

This guy…smh

By the way, I found some near mint condition KD Trey 5 IX’s at the thrift store two months ago in my size. I was skeptical of wearing KD gear but I figured at $20 bucks no big deal. I would like to see this guy stay away from this kind of nonsense.

And here we gooo….

Nick held his own and didn’t bash the organization. Good job Nick.
