@HornetsReddit@ShamsCharania We were only putting up with Miles Bridges because we had Lamelo. Trade his ass now for 1 2nd round pick and call it a day.
Potential lineups for Charlotte Hornets 2026 season. Miles bridges is 99% gone, and Lamelo will be missed. Chances down the road to hunt for the wagner brothers, or cooper flagg. We are also the only team that could make an offer for Jokic.
@FanOfHomeState Trading away an allstar pg who desperately wants to stay in Charlotte , for 2-3 role players that will be desperate to leave Charlotte as fast as possible. Other teams can be selfish and careless. Charlotte has to reward lamelos loyalty.
@Out_of_Hornets Coby trade was for us to test out coby and bulls to test out sexton. We were not planning to resign sexton, bulls were not planning to resign coby. Coby just fits better with a faster team, more movement allows him to create more on offense.
@HornetsReddit@TheSteinLine@JakeLFischer Why is this even being reported? Neither team has the assets to get Lamelo. If a deal is in the works already then its the Hornets front office smoking dope or Lamelo is hurt, or secretly wanting out.
@Zae5bry@Nonagonb741@PrimeKnueppel There has been rumors for weeks that we are going to sign and trade coby white. I think thats the biggest blunder we could possibly make and we immediately lose playoff potential. We can not replace coby for 25 mil, anderson cant replace him at all, he wont be able to drive.
@Zae5bry@Nonagonb741@PrimeKnueppel Reed was the best true 5 in the draft, he doesnt have to add muscle. Hannes is too small to guard the 5, he will be playing the 4. Coby has already proven himself as the back up pg/6man, trading him away immediately destroys our 2nd unit. Everything screams trade for center
@Zae5bry@Nonagonb741@PrimeKnueppel which is why im saying why did we pull trigger on anderson. We couldve traded our pick back, drafted Tarris reed, and had a focus on signing coby white to be our 6 man. Drafting Anderson is like saying we want him to have the second unit pg role because he cant play anything else
@CatDestroyer007@Nonagonb741@PrimeKnueppel Yes but who is going to guard towns, wemby, Davis, Gianni’s, jokic. In a play off run we have no one physical enough to protect the paint. Steinbach is an upgrade on defense at the 4, but the 5 is unknown. We clearly couldn’t draft it but everyone is thinking it, are we trading ?
@HoopSector There was no way we could draft a 5, we trade for a 5, just have to decide if we continue the youth path or do we over pay for a playoff center.
@HoopSector Considering how much we like to run picks as guards, coby and Anderson and mann will absolutely struggle with that play style over time and it will lead to more injuries.
@NateJ937@PrimeKnueppel I think the idea is having moose or steinbach on the floor at all times to increase rebounding. I don’t think moose will start. This is trending towards trading coby white or miles bridges for a starting center.
@Nonagonb741@PrimeKnueppel Kon K could play pg better than most the starters in the league so pause on that. Tre Mann sure. But we just crowded it even more in the back court, like after that do we sit down and really pay coby white 25 mil?
@Nonagonb741@PrimeKnueppel Don’t we have Kon K and Tre Mann? This really points to a sign and trade for coby white. I don’t think anderson would go on a 2 way. I really thought we would draft 2 bigs and sign coby white, and then lonzo ball to a vet minimum. Drafting anderson changes so much now.
