Hornets might want Westbrook.

If they take Hayward and Plumlee then fine. Westbrook’s contract expires after next year so it would allow us to get money off the books early.

As for how it would work on the floor… probably not great.

If the Hornets actually do trade for him that will tell me that not only is Jordan still meddling but he has not learned anything. As such this franchise would not be going anywhere good until he sells.

Hard pass. Westbrook is a shell of what he once was. I think it would be a bad idea even as a salary dump move.

Oh god not this again

Rock hard viagra induced mega bones pass

Boner.......DAMMIT

Dude is ball dominant as hell.  Pass him the ball and you won’t get it back.  I would pass as well

I don't see any benefit adding Westbrook.

I'm actually fine with this if the idea is Hayward + Terry for Westbrook + additional draft picks

Neither of these guys fit the timeline for our young core and it allows us to free up a poo load of cap going in to the 2024 season.

Draft Mark Williams this year, do what we can next year and try to sign a big player going into the 2024 season with a young core of Lamelo/Bridges/PJ/Mark Williams/Bouknight/Kai Jones

If we did this, I would expect Russ to see the floor in a Hornets uniform. I'd expect a buy out. AND if it got Hayward off the team, I'd be all for it. Hayward just doesn't fit with this squad.

You forgot about JT Thor.

Yeah I did, I dont see him being a starter but he can definitely contribute off the bench in a year or two

He's the epitome of 3 and D. He'd be a huge part of that young core you mentioned. He's getting the most minutes out of our youngins right now!
