and Warriors basically gave Wiseman away for Five 2nd Rounders.. wtf yo

It may seem crazy, but apparently there’s teams out there that will trade lottery picks for a bunch of second rounders and a late round 1 pick. The Warriors now have a lot of second rounders to entice such boneheaded teams and move up to pick 13 or so…

I swear if fans ran the damn team we would be better off. I don't even mind the moves today and still think we are a crap franchise. I understand moving Jalen bc we weren't going to resign him. Glad we moved Plumlee bc I'm sick of watching him play. My issue is we didn't just bite the bullet and move on from Hayward and Rozier.

How do you expect us to get rid of Hayward? Lol his contract is awful and he is always hurt. Rozier is a nice player but yea at this point prob should have just traded him

I’d like to point out that all reasoning for that awful draft day trade, trading pick #13 for pick #29 and a few second round picks, has been proven complete bullshit at this point. The first being that we did not have room on the roster for 2 t15 picks we all knew was bullshit to begin with. And now the excuse of using the late first and/or the second round picks to be able to package to unload Hayward and his contract appears to be complete bullshit as well. The Hornets will not be players in free agency, and are currently doing just enough to not be involved in the 3 way tie for best odds at the #1 pick.
 

But hey at least we got a bunch of 2nd rounders to fill out the BENCH on the SWARM. Starting positions on the Swarm are reserved for our lottery picks since we’re the only team in the league that can’t find a way to get them minutes on our super stacked 15 win “NBA” roster.
 

I was a supporter of Kupchak before last years draft. Everything that has happened from draft night on has been a complete dumpster fire. This is some of the highest level of dysfunction and blundering idiocy I have ever witnessed. Kup and Clifford both need to go.

Sadly the dysfunction will continue until MJ sells the team. It’s beyond clear after all this time he doesn’t have a clue how to build a contender.

Not defending Kupchak at all, but you see who is the problem, right?  This is squarely on MJ and MJ alone. HE is the one who inserts himself time and time again to tank this franchise. 

Blow it up.

Hard to watch a dysfunctional organization.. I wouldn’t say players!! It’s from above Jordan needs to sell the team or hire a capable manager!! Hornets seem to go forward a season then two seasons back with stupid decisions.. the Bridges situation really fugged things up too

the fugi ng 2nd rounder for plumgod is in 2028, wht the fug?!?!??

If it wasn't clear enough already: we are tanking. Not throwing games but in the sense that we have no delusions about this roster winning anytime soon so we're just looking ahead.

The guys that are pushing or over 30 don't fit into the timeline of this rebuild and weren't winning for us anyway. No one's giving up a first rounder for Mason Plumlee. He's balling out like never before and it's barely helping us. At least there's a chance that by 2028 we'll have a squad that can actually take advantage of that pick.

      The other draft picks have turned out pretty well. Brooks will too.

      Updated 2025 draft order

      I'm still not touching Hunter He again said the other day that he plans on playing both sides of the ball in the NFL.  If he is allowed to do that, he won't be as good on either side as his potential and he's going to have serious injury issues and have a short career.  If he's not allowed to do it, I think he's going to become a problem when the team isn't winning as he's going to feel him not being used on both sides of the ball is why. He's being coddled in that environment with Deion and I think it's doing a disservice to him to prepare him for life in the NFL where your coach isn't a 2nd father to you, to where you can just walk into his locker room and steal his shoes like Hunter does to Deion.

      Real Mid-Season Development at QB: Bo Nix

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      He’s a tad behind them. Around 15ish of 32 starters in the league. He’s well ahead of a lot of guys. Tua, Bryce, Cousins (present), Rodgers (current), Devito/Jones, Minshew, Russ (current), Watson, Smith, Carr, T Laws deep ball is weak as poo IMO, there’s plenty. And it’s not like everyone is ripping 60+ers. The key component is if you can rip and maintain velocity of the 30-40 yarders which he does super well. Legit every report out there from Brugler to PFF to PFN document him as good/above average arm strength.  Eye test tells me it’s pretty much that as well, slightly above average.
