Link?  If it’s no picks it is extremely disappointing. 
 

APNEWS:  

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — The Charlotte Hornets are sending often-injured small forward Gordon Hayward to the Oklahoma City Thunder for guard Tre Mann, forward Davis Bertans, point guard Vasilije Micic and second-round draft picks in 2024 and 2025, according to a person familiar with the situation.

The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Thursday because the deal had not yet been approved by the league.

 

Also, I just saw that Bertans is making $17mil a year meaning he and Lowry are taking up almost $50mil/yr.

Hopefully this means that some Kupchick salary cap wizardry is forthcoming.

Earlier on NBA tv said something about a trade exception, but nothing about draft picks.  I guess you just can't trust first reports.

Lowry’s on an expiring deal, his cap space isn’t relevant to next year.

Never followed him, but Tre Mann’s highlights are VERY impressive.  He was just buried on OKC’s depth chart, but looks to be a promising young asset at PG. 

#18 overall a couple years ago, former 5-star McDonalds AA and Jordan AA.  Dude’s hesi game is nasty.

Tre Mann highlights

 

I couldn’t watch tonight’s game but apparently Tre Mann tore it up in a win. 

If you haven’t watched this highlight clip I posted of him last week, I *highly* recommend it.  

Dude has ridiculous handles, and makes insane moves, especially towards the end of the video.  Super high ceiling.

    • I forgot about Jackson...definitely elite.  The sad part of your list is that 2 of them were 'there for the taking for the Panthers'.  Rumor has it that Hurney loved Herbert and was vetoed on trying to trade up.  And rumor has it that Frank & McCown wanted Stroud.  I believe both rumors.  
    • I went on a solo elk hunt in the Flat Tops. It was awesomely miserable. LOL It was a late season hunt, I think third season and it was forecasted to snap off cold with highs in the upper thirties and lows in the single digits. fug it, I'm going anyway. They were wrong. The highs were in the low 20s and the lows were in the negative teens. I shivered so hard the first night I thought my teeth were going to break. It was the only time I've ever been legit concerned that I might be in trouble. Crawled out of my sleeping bag and got a fire started and suffered through the night bundled up next to the fire. I slept the next two nights literally wearing every stitch of clothing I'd brought with Nalgenes full of near boiling water in the bottom of my sleeping bag. That was the only way to have non-frozen water in the morning anyway. There was about a foot of snow on the ground and the melt/freeze crust was almost enough to support your weight but you'd go crashing through just as you went or make your step. It was exhausting travel and every step sounded like a rifle shot. Hunting was basically impossible. I never saw an elk in those four days, only saw 5-6 deer. LOL It was brutal but I loved it. Absolutely beautiful country that is never been to before and haven't been back since. I needed that four day complete break from society fighting for my life against the elements. I'm weird like that.
    • The lack of production is especially surprising given how much effort the team put into coaxing the best from him.  In just six short years he’s had the opportunity to work with 3 different GMs, 7 different head coaches and 10 different starting quarterbacks.  There’s literally no excuse to be made that one of those combos didn’t work.  It might be time to look withIAN.
