I'm telling you now, the league is pissed Charlotte traded us Mark Williams. he can ball! And Luka and Lebron are gonna do wonders for him.

Besides LaMelo, Mark was playing with bums in Charlotte on a terrible team. And when healthy he was balling out. This was a great trade. I like Knecht, but his value was inflated. A lot of games Knecht was finishing with 6 points.

He’s going to be on a BS team for a LONG time unless the Hornets find a way to become like the Spurs and turn it around in 2 seasons.

Not happening.

Dude better hope one of these knee jerk ass teams find a way to pull the trigger to bring him on board
Hornets clearly won't his trade. Best value trade during the deadline. They actually got a player who can get buckets and will be in the league for next 10 years, plus a 1st + pick swap. Additionally, they added no salary to do this.

Only purple-colored glasses Lakers fans can act like Lakers won this deal. Hornets got a shooting SF and gonna draft a big in this draft to replace the impact, if any, Williams had with them.

No one is mad you got a man named Mark Williams. You traded away a big for an overlapping position (small forward) and then traded draft capital to replace that big.

The real question is, will Pelinka let LeBron walk/retire for nothing in 2026 or do the right thing and force him to lift his NTC and move him in off-season to get assets?

Pelinka with no Klutch influence gon cook. He traded most of the 2020 team, for Westbrook, corrected that error and bounced back. Kobe recomended him for a reason. I use to doubt Rob. Not anymore.


Been tryna tell yall Rob was average at worst. The whole notion he was just some trash ass GM was always misleading BS. When I seen Magic defending him over the Russ shyt I knew Rob was straight, cuz Magic dont even like him

I doubted him. No more though. I know you and some others never lost hope for him.

Big overpay. He's a good player although worryingly injury prone.

But this is a sign that they're also thinking more longterm instead of the usual Bron bullshyt of bringing in some washed journeyman. If it pays off it's a huge win for the Lakers.

We cant be worried about no 2031 1st rounder now that we got Luka. Dalton is just a rookie too, i think people are holding on to him too tight.

I'd say slight overpay, not a big one. We're making the type of moves a team with a 25 year old franchise player makes :manny:
