Will Hornets make trade on Draft night if so what kind?

I'd like to see it.  I'd love to trade for an established player, potentially an up and coming guy on the wrong team. 

But also wouldn't mind either trading up in the draft, or even down a few spots. Picks 8-15 or so are all on the same level to me. 

 

I'd just like to see something done.  The roster is meh at best right now, with no real improvement in the near future unless they find an absolute gem.  Kemba is who he is, great at times but just decent to good most of the time, SG hole is obvious, MKG is good but will never be an all-around threat IMO, who knows with the kids at PF if they'll reach anything, and Al is Al but potentially on the decline.

"Al potentially on the decline" is the understatement of the century, but I'm with you. I'm not sure if there is a "one move fixes all" solution available, but I just want to see them do something. Going into next season just relying on health and individual improvement alone is not solving any of the real issues holding the team back.

Unfortunately, Cho will probably continue to be way too conservative and trade the pick for Arron Afflalo or something.

I'd like to see them move up.  The Knicks pick is very available.  Cho talks about wanting to "accelerate" this rebuild yet has made no signs of making any bold moves.  I'd trade a future first and one of our young guys (Lance, Kemba, PJ, Cody, Vonleh in order of the ones I'd most prefer we give up) that's not MKG for the pick.

If we could somehow land D'angelo Russell.... Mannnnn 

I wish Kemba and 9 would be enough to get to 4, but even then, one of the Lakers or Sixers has to fall in love with Winslow or Mudiay and take either instead.

How brilliant does Hinkie look? Got the Lakers pick from Phoenix for sending MCW to Milwaukee, and now he can get a huge upgrade in Russell. I wish we thought two steps ahead like that...

    • In the same order I listed it. 1. Fix the talent evaluation 2. Use that better evaluation to build an NFL caliber roster 3. Continue to build depth and plan to replace key people as they age out and price out.    Those are the cornerstones of building long term success in terms of roster makeup. Even at times in our history when we got Step 1 correct and then did a decent job of Step 2, we have never been able to maintain Step 3 for various FO and coaching/on field reasons. This is essentially what Richardson was trying to do with the thought of emulating the Steelers. Our execution has just been horrible. And we don't need to hit HR after HR at any of those steps, we just need to get more right than wrong. And you need to get the critical elements correct(core players, coaches, etc). Once that starts to go sideways, the whole thing falls apart and we are back to the boom and bust cycle.   As far as what we as fans can do? Nothing but watch. We the franchise, well they already think they are doing these things. I heartily disagree so we will see what happens.
    • I really liked XL.  But I'm not expecting much from him this year given he is paired with Bryce.  I just think for XL to shine with his talents.....he needs a downfield gambler.  I think Brooks will slowly be brought along and we don't see his debut until in season.     That's our top 3 rounds...and really where you would be looking for rookie impact.  Rest should more than likely be developmental and have minimal impact.  So I expect fans to get down on our draft picks early.  I think the G play could get praise but C being such a wildcard (as well as Canales' run game) has that as not the lock I think some have it has.  Plus, I think Bryce simply can make the OL look bad given his size the problem he has in so many traditional settings/placement in the pocket. 
    • Okay so when is that changing? How does it change, and how do we operate in the meantime?
