Charlotte Pick Watch (Lottery protected)

[exstatic]

strong rumors that both bulls and hornets want to trade to go full tank.Just a matter of time.Curious to see what nets and pistons do.
They havent looked to bad.

Charlotte has a better chance if they’re really trying to burn it down. Even though he’s a clown, Lamelo is entertaining, and frankly, the NBA is a circus.

I don't think the Hornets are making the playoffs, so I hope they suck completely and give us two picks at #31 in 2026 and 2027.

I doubt they trade LaMelo unless they get a huge haul in assets - He's the most all star like player they've had in ages, and while he's a clown, he's a 6'8" passing wizard who's a good athlete, who can shoot 3s at high volume, has instincts / reaction speed to get steals (not a good defender, but he has tools). Rare combination.

The thing about Melo is that if he isn’t sidelined, he’s likely to wreck your chances at a player that you CAN build your team around. He’s also unrestricted next time around, and with LeBron aging out, will be a likely Lakers target. Best to get something rather than nothing, and aid your tank at the same time.

The Melo 4-6 week injury should come in before the new year too tbh

out two weeks could be longer lol

charlotte is really trying hard to get that megabust salaun going

[spurraider21]

Melo is absurdly talented, yet does play immaturely. i cant really blame him, give the environment he's been in. their roster right now isnt abysmal on paper but theyve also been as plagued by injury as anybody. charlotte committed malpractice taking Salaun when they needed more immediate roster help. with williams' injury record, Clingan should have been their guy

theyve had like 6-7 guys listed as out in some games already.

[spurraider21]

also they have both mark williams and nick richars back. seems they're really easing Williams back, though, he's coming off the bench for now

[spurraider21]

lock this one up too

[Davidicus]

I’m going to save so much time and effort wondering if Charlotte is winning every night

[John B]

Yup this will never convey, one less thing to worry about

[Mr. Body]

Ladies and Gentlemen, starting tonight you are now free from caring whether Charlotte wins games (they won't) nor exactly where Chicago places (other than better than Atlanta). Good day.
