Hornets Interested in Lauri Markkanen

[rippadonn]

Terry can play the 2 but I wouldn't have him ahead of Bouknight. Terry really belongs at the 1 backing Melo and helping out Bouknight at the 2.

Something is happening though. This is a build up of some sort.

That dude Mitch is playing chess.

What? Terry avg 20ppg and you want him to back up Melo and a rookie Bouknight? 

That's not going to happen...

Something is amiss.

Terry is a proven scorer with the game on the line I can't see them moving him unless it brings us another star to solidify a weak position. But I am all in on our attempts to improve we have to maximize the pieces around Melo now.

I don’t want to lose Terry just yet. The man can absolutely ball and gives this young team a needed attitude. I don’t see us being able to retain him after this upcoming season. I rather have him for a year and lose him for nothing next year. Maybe you don’t lose him for nothing if you can work out a sign in trade. Hopefully if anyone gets traded that it’ll be Gordon Hayward. I don’t hate the man but he’s just so injury proned. Maybe GSW can take him off our hands. 

If the Hornets are still in play for lauri, then something has to be going on with the Oubre deal. W/e the case is, this is freaking crazy.

I will get only trade Terry if we can get both Lauri and Wiseman back in return. 

This would be an absolute STEAL

Not the biggest Wiseman fan.  Also, saw a Bulls fan saying how soft Lauri Mark is and that he is atrocious on defense.  Ouch

The life of a small market team my friend. I'll take any improvement that's available but none will be without flaws.

If the plan is not to give Terry some huge contract then now is the time to trade him

They’re both better than what we have right now. I’ll take either one. 

Agreed.  Hell if we got Wiseman I would definitely be excited to see him here.

I'd rather trade him while the team can and get something back instead of just letting him walk next year. The only thing about trading Terry now is that letting both Graham and Monk go leaves the Hornets very thin at guard. Though I guess Gordon can play the 2 with Miles at the 3.

Oubre apparently left GS because he wouldn't be starting and unless something happens with Terry, I don't see why he would come here.

I like the effort to improve the team....its past time for the hornets to be a playoff nba team.

if Mitch really wants to make this happen - I trust him..

not sure what we would have to give up but after learning about the protections around the 1st Rnd pick we got for Graham - I wouldn't mind throwing that into a sign & trade for Markkanen if it seals the deal.. that 1st Rnd pick will most likely turn into two 2nd Rounders..
