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

    • Where did I once say we should draft him because he's a projected Top 5 pick?   That's one of my many problems with you, your reading comprehension skills are very poor (and/or you just don't care to use your brain, one of the two).  I solely used that to point out that me pushing T-Mac isn't some absurd homerism, that at least I'm pushing someone who is deserving of a Top 5 draft pick. And despite me explaining it to you numerous times, you still seem to not grasp how QB's get placed in mock drafts vs draft grades.  They are treated entirely different in mock drafts to any other position, because of how teams generally treat them in the draft because of how important the position is. Literally any other position except QB, mock drafts generally follow draft grades with some team needs factored in.  But with QB's, draft grades are generally disregarded and they ALWAYS put a few QB's at the very top of the draft, because that's just usually what happens.  The exact same thing happened in 2022 with guys like Pickett and Willis widely being Top 10 picks in mock drafts, only for Pickett to fall to what, around 20?, and Willis going in the 2nd round (and even being the 3rd QB if I remember correctly too). The overwhelming majority of draft experts are saying there isn't a high first round grade on these QB's, but they still get mocked there because they're trying to predict how the draft will actually go. That's been my point the entire time, reaching for a QB in a bad QB draft when you have a roster as depleted of talent as ours, does not tend to work out well. And I've never said I'm not open to other players, I've very explicitly said that if a QB or DE stands out come draft time, I'm open to that discussion.  That I'd be open to Hunter as a CB but I prefer a WR over a CB at the top of the draft.  But we're also not talking about the 15th pick here where there could realistically be all sorts of possible picks to discuss.  With the first pick, there really would only be a small handful of options, T-Mac is head and shoulders above any other given our current roster and state of the franchise in general.
    • TMac is good, but he isn't pick 1 on a WR good.  Last year he would be below Nabers and Williams.  This year you could argue Hunter is the better WR.  WR at 1 better be a Calvin Johnson not a WR that disappears some games in college...
    • So because he's a projected top 5 pick he's should be the guy we draft.   Yet you say the other 2 QBs who are projected top 5 picks are not worth it because you think they aren't that good.   That's my problem with you. You just seem to only care about Tmac. I have yet to see you suggest anyone outside of Tmac. At least I'm open to other prospects.
