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:
Carolina Blazers? 
(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
