More guards is exactly what this team needed. And we also needed to dump a pick. Our problems are solved, let’s go.

Underwhelmed. Cody Martin is a solid wing who's always injured and doesn't fill a need. Feel like we've been linked to him before. I think Hornets fans hated Micic.

Get rid of Royce for 2nds or Grayson for 1sts now.


Get Tyus off this team too.

Interesting. That pick isn't a super good one, is it?

Plus the Suns get a 2nd to use going forward, and they used their own heavily swapped 2026 pick instead of the 2025 pick from Cleveland
That 2025 Cleveland pick is going to be so much higher. Yay.

I’m not saying the triple swapped 2026 pick is any more exciting than Cleveland’s this year, but I don’t think you can award that comparison to the Cleveland pick either.

If the 2nd rounder they got from this deal is the Hornets own pick, good chance it’s in the 30s. Not terrible

A Hornets 2nd rounder would be nice.

Even his future gm is a guard.

So we gave up our 2031 first round pick unprotected, just to be able to dump salary (Nurkic).

The Ayton trade just keeps getting even worse.

I’m old enough to remember people saying on here (2 weeks ago), “At least Ishbia doesn’t attach first rounders just to dump salary, like Sarver did with Kurt Thomas.”

What? Who said that? Pretty sure that’s common knowledge around here.
