Charlotte Hornets Trade Deadline Recap

Charlotte Hornets Trade Deadline Recap

What’s up and welcome to the Sam Dracula channel the Charlotte Hornet fan channel the trade deadline is over is past us now we have an idea of what this thing will look like the rest of the way and into next year the issue is though

There’s a lot of boys on this team now a whole lot of fellas a lot of guards especially 13 guards on this roster with the deadline gone now we know for sure that Lowry won’t be traded and will likely be bought out right probably end up going to Philadelphia which means the

Rier trade looks a lot worse today right right only getting a lottery protected 27 pick for him is a is lowkey pretty brutal so that sucks on the flip side with some time I made a video about PJ the PJ trade earlier but that was a while ago and just thinking about it

More we flee the Dallas Mavericks like we fleeced the Dallas Mavericks getting Seth Curry and Grant Williams and a top two protected first round pick from Dallas in 2027 a 2027 is gonna look gonna be really fun it’s gonna be a lot of fun with two with three first round

Picks whether the Hornets end up keeping them or flipping them for something else later but also getting two real NBA players in the mix something that this roster has been sorely been missing real NBA role players and now we got two of them at least from that deal and then

You throw in uh Trey man and uh misic and uh Davis Berton so at this stage we have 21 people contracted to the Charlotte Hornets we need to get it we need to get it down to 18 so who’s not going to make the cut well let’s get

Into it we’re going guards forwards centers there’s a lot of guards so we’re starting there we got Bryce here we go we got Bryce McGowan Frankie smokes Nick Smith Jr Trey man ish Smith Seth Curry James book Knight Cody Martin Amari Bailey vasel meich uh Brandon Miller Kyle Lowry

Lamelo ball that’s it that’s it that’s all of them all of them all right okay start with the obvious lamelo right obviously he’s not going anywhere where’s Brandon Miller there he is Brandon Miller not going anywhere right Nick Smith Jr not going anywhere right uh Cody Martin’s contracted for

Next season he’s not going anywhere like right now we’re talking about the rest of the season right so Cody Mar’s not going anywhere McGaw isn’t going anywhere uh Mich they just traded for we’ll get to him in a second Lowry you know he’s hasn’t played for us yet we’ll

Get to him in a second I gotta assume satha staying right Trey man staying Smith we’ll get to him later Mari Bailey is on a two-way so we’ll s him right there and B Knight we’re going to leave him right there all right we’re going to leave these guys here in the uh

In the maybe section they’re like in purgatory lowkey just chilling right here I’m put meich here because he’s he’s under contract for a while I’m put I’m I’m G promote him into the mix meich wasn’t part of the trade earlier when I when I made a video on it uh look like

This dude he’s he’s old he’s older player he’s the 30-y old guy but has some real real real real credentials playing in Europe and when when you talk about like the adult need for adults in the room Mis checks that box for sure which makes guys like is Smith a bit

Redundant you know respectfully of course I’m pop it right here for now I made the text black because we’re getting too crazy with all the guards all right we’re going keep the forwards in white all right so that’s that’s leaky black miles Bridges JT Thor and Grant Williams and uh Davis Berton okay

So Bridges not going anywhere this year right made it a point we’ll see what happens in the summer with him right uh Grant Williams not going anywhere he’s the PJ Washington replacement right uh JT Thor is not going anywhere I’d be shocked if he did you know I mean he has

A team option next next year for like $2 million he’s not he’s not going anywhere uh leaky Black’s on a two-way so that makes that easy and then uh Davis beron pop him right there he he’s under a contract next year as well that leaves three spots for the centers now for the

Centers we’re looking at we got Nate menah we got Mark Williams and Nick Richards got three of them Mark Williams Nick Richards and Men is on the two-way so that makes that easy that leaves one spot in my in my estimation for ish Smith Kyle Lowry Frankie smokes and

James book Knight this rotation this team has gotten a lot deeper and better from top to bottom and then when once everyone gets healthy you get a I think we’ll get a real idea of what we’ve been missing out on or what like could have been with actual veterans and actual

Role players in the mix along with our young stars but that remains with Kyle lri ish Smith Frankie smokes and tiina Kyle Lowry he’s getting bought out like he’s not staying around he’s gonna he’s gonna he’s gonna go to Philly so he’s out out the picture do they just keep

Ish Smith pop him right there I’d rather keep ish than tiina Frankie smokes has played five games for us this year he’s a goner he like he has to be a goner right and then you got book Knight right behind him Killian Hayes got cut today

If Killian Hayes can get cut so could James book Knight so if I’m in charge here this is what I’m rocking with okay this is this is my crew this is how I’m finishing out the season I’m buying out Lowry I’m cutting Frankie smokes and I’m cutting James book night and I’m

Going about my business looking forward to next season finishing out the year I this is how I imagine the starting five would be on the left side lamelo Miller Bridges Williams and Williams right Bridges has turned into a just uh just he’s been really emphasizing scoring

Lately and not so much rebounding he’s a three Grant Williams at the four Mark Williams at the five when everyone’s back right and then off the bench you got Trey man Seth Curry Cody Martin Berton Nick Richards you know McGaw dis Smith Nick Smith meich JT Thor you know

Depending on the matchup depending on the look hopefully we get lamelo back hopefully we get Mark Williams back sooner rather than later and get an idea of what this team is what what is it like what is this team is this a 10- win team no they’re not that bad but they

Are you are you’re as good as your record is and the record is pretty bad right now but what do you think what do you think of this this new look Hornets the rest of of the way here who would you cut who would you keep let me know

In the comments but I this looks a lot more promising you know we’ll see though we’ll see how it works out as a whole moving Hayward moving roir and moving PJ Washington needed to happen it needed to happen this core this group has been together for four years lamelo included

Into that with Brandon sorry with Miles Bridges included in that and Nick Richards by the way all that this group those guys we’ve seen it it doesn’t work it hasn’t worked it won’t work they needed to shift and this is them shifting so all in all I think it was a

Good trade deadline this team this franchise woke up and realized that what they were doing wasn’t working and it wasn’t getting any better soon and they had to change directions and they they made a they made a real statement today for Hornets fans saying nen we’re aware

It hasn’t been working and now we’re g we’re now we’re doing something differently we’re going forward without Hayward without roier and without PJ Washington in the name of adding more depth more cap space and future picks you you can’t be too greedy I’m happy with how things went so far got a whole

Rest of the season to go here and hopefully our guys get healthy to see what this new team is fully capable of sooner rather than later but hey what are you going to do let me know what you think about the trade deadline day in general in the comments or on Twitter @
