2022 NBA Draft thread

[MillionDollarCam]

It’s time we start questioning Mitch.

The team is not moving forward. If he’s being given an internal budget and they are being cheap for the hell of it then he needs to blow the roof off because it’s ridiculous how long this team has been average at absolute best.

The fanbase deserves answers.

While the trade is confusing. It's been known that the Hornets didn't want both picks. You already have Jones and Bouknight  that still need to be developed. Adding two rookies would have made the Hornets too young. I do wish they could have acquired a young vet with one of the picks though. 

So why value 4 second round picks? Makes no sense.

[Fenrir]

Oh there were 4 second round picks included? That changes everything!

 

[Toker Smurf]

No freaking way. What the living f***?

[hepcat]

Lol wow the hornets are f*cking stupid. Basketball isn’t that hard to build a winner just gotta draft a bunch of players and eventually you find good ones. Can’t win by trading away picks

Lamelo will absolutely not resign here…this organization is such a joke.  I hate the NBA but I can’t stand the Hornets striving for mediocre 

[USDepartmentOfSavagery]

So, Hayward is still on the roster lmao. We won’t resign Miles and Melo will bounce here in a couple of years. They’re going to have to retire Terry Roziers number because they won’t have a choice. 

[Cuttinedge]

So we traded duren who looked like a potential stud for basically nothing.  And picked a less athletic  offensive limited Williams

I could have told you that when we drafted him. 

[NavyVet]

Mark Williams is a good pick. Duren is raw and the youngest player in the draft. How much realistically do ya'll think he would have contributed next year??..We already have that player on the roster by the name of Kai Jones. Mark Williams will come in and play at least 20 minutes a game.  

[USDepartmentOfSavagery]

Keep Duren, and trade away 15 + Hayward for a late first/early 2nd. I would have been much better with that. Detroit fleeced us.

Yeah especially not trading up to make whatever deal. Just keep both guys and wait for better value if you really don't want both on the roster. A trade for a young vet, someone desperate after injuy, something...Zero reason to immediately send him away if we're not dumping a contract

[frankw]

If what's been reported so far is all we got out of this I'm on record now. Fug Mitch.
