Bonnell Believes Hornets Will Make Run At Love


Recommended Posts

Bonnell On A Possible Trade

@rick_bonnell: It was very clear in the 15 minutes I was on the phone with Higgins that they will explore any and all trade options.

Bonnell On If The Hornets Will Target Love

@rick_bonnell: @DocRenfrow I think that call will be made. The issue isn't just assets to Wolves. It's whether Love would commit to being in CLT long-term.

@rick_bonnell: To everyone asking me about Kevin Love: The toughest thing isn't making Wolves happy. It's getting Love to commit to CLT long-term.

I don't see it happening either, but if they were able to secure a commitment from him... I'm trading multiple players and both picks.

This team right now may have reached their cieling, so if you are able to gut the team without hurting it long-term, I think you do it.

The great thing about NBA trades is the fact that salaries have to match-up which means we'd still have nearly $20m to spend.

We def need to keep the 9th pick. We will get a sure thing 20ppg player and that's what we need next to Al.

I hate to be a buzz kill and get u down. But friend I doubt we can find that kinda player with the ninth pick. Exactly who do u see as a sure thing 20 point scorer going to us. About the best case scenario would be Aaron Gordon and he could maybe turn into Blake griffin and learn how to shoot.

I just see us getting a good player but not a 20 ppg star outta the 9th pick.

I don't see how we could get him...

 

And again, I'd much rather have a perimeter scorer with the 9th pick to compliment our inside game with Al.  Again, I'm a big KLove fan, but I don't see how we could do it without mortgaging pretty much our entire drafting future, nor do I see him agreeing to sign here long-term unless he just misses Big Al like crazy and is the biggest MJ fan in the world.

With our drafting history, mortgaging our future doesn't sound like an awful idea to be honest with you lol.

Love is being link to Golden State due to Klay Thompson. The Lakers (no7), Boston (no5), and Chicago (no16 + no19) are names in the Love rumor too.

Minny would die to have Klay Thompson, a young stud who can flat out shoot the ball and defend. GSW is hesitant to move him, but maybe they should.

This is out of this world, but maybe a 4 team deal could happen:

CHARLOTTE: Klay Thompson

Chicago: #9 pick

Golden State: Kevin Love

Minnesota: #16 + #19 + #24 + David Lee

PG: Kemba Walker

SG: Klay Thompson / Gary Neal

SF: Michael Kidd-Gilchrist / Jeff Taylor

PF: Greg Monroe / Cody Zeller

C: Al Jefferson / Bismack Biyombo

    • The reality though is that there just isn't a traditional #1 pick type of player in this draft to begin with. He might have been below Marvin last year, but I don't think he'd have been below Nabers. And if you think he disappears in some college games, then you're only looking at the box scores, I guarantee you not a single NFL GM will say he disappears in games when watching the tape. Arizona's offense is a MESS this year, the new coaching staff is beyond bad and the fanbase is screaming for them all to be fired, our OL is awful, our QB is playing like utter garbage, and we don't have another weapon to attract any defensive attention.  Teams are double and triple teaming him on almost every snap, and when combined with the OL and QB issues, it's just impossible to get him the ball sometimes.  And even when our QB forces the pass to him, half the time it's not even catchable given how poor he's been playing. And even despite all that, he's still 3rd in the nation in yards. I've also seen more WR rankings having Burden over Hunter than I have seen Hunter over T-Mac.  If we had a true outside #1 WR, then taking someone like Hunter (or Burden) instead of T-Mac would make more sense as if Hunter were to play WR in the NFL, he'd more likely be used a slot guy like Godwin or Kupp.   There's a reason most mocks/analysts who don't list Hunter as a CB/WR (or just Athlete) list him as a CB.  Because it's his better position and the side of the ball he's more likely to play in the NFL, partially due to his wire thin frame, I don't see him holding up long term as a WR.
    • This was a good breakdown from Daniels.  Last year has had a lasting impact on Young. He still isn't getting the time needed from the OL - the OL we have is made to establish the run and for the run to be in play.  We get behind and have to throw all game we are doomed with this O-line. His receivers have to catch the ball when he makes a good throw to them, he can't have them dropping his good passes. Why are we running 4 slants all toward the same direction?  Why a triple option on 4th and 1? That's on the coaches. Bryce gets hurried and starts slinging the ball where it shouldn't be thrown, more study and recognition from him are needed.  Bryce doesn't step up in the pocket and throws too soon and unbalanced.  He over and under throws the ball because of it.  That's on him.  If the pocket isn't there and he can't get his base set he needs to check down or "live to fight another day." He has been thrown to the wolves and has lost his confidence.  This team doesn't have much, if any, talent and it's a cluster.  I think he can still be an NFL QB.  Maybe not a QB1 in the short term, but if he has a chance with better coaching and personnel he may be better than we are giving him credit for. I think we ruined him last year and have not fixed anything to help him this year.  If we can't run or get way behind all NFL defenses are coming after him.  Dalton has more respect and defenses didn't always sell out to get to him because he'd hit a quick slant, screen, or check down because he has the experience to know what's coming and what to do. Just my 2 cents.
    • All depends on who the backup is. Josh Allen probably would have been benched too if there were better backups than Matt Barkley and Nate peterman.
