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…

Maybe we will trade some of those for a player?

Apparently we could have traded them for James Wiseman

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

Very true on how do you get rid of Hayward. Man we have made some poor decisions.

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.

fug it, buy the team Tepper. At least he seems to give a poo

[DamnItJake!]

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

Yeah. In the interview he repeats the small market tropes: must build through the draft, keep draft capital, make savvy trades, keep cap flexibility, and maybe one day the Hornets will be able to land a big fish free agent.

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.
