    This is one of the better trades i've seen. I like that we get some insurance with the #14 pick, and the Blazers should get that no matter what. Ant is a quality young talent and Nas still has a lot of potential to go along with Miller for the Hornets. Hayward is a nice expiring contract for the Pels. He still has game, when healthy.

    Why would Charlotte do this?

    So you think Ant, and to a lesser extent Nas, are basically useless to the Hornets? I disagree on that. But, If they're not useful to a young team like the Hornets , why would we want to keep them?

    That's fair. Nas is kind of a conundrum. He shows so much potential, but when is it all going to click. Ant is a talented player. Super dude. But the Blazers need more size at the 2 guard position, and Sharpe has the size, and the skillset to be potentially amazing.

    If it is recent, then they are not trading him. He couldn't have waited another few weeks?

    No, but I was joking about Zion getting into shape. It would be better for us if he had waited so N.O would have more incentive to trade him. But again I was just joking about how good he looked. Not sure it is real

    The strange Step dad seems to be his spokesman? Wonder why he can't speak for himself?

    I'm calling it. Charlotte will take Miller (they've been rumored to want him far longer than the two days that they've been rumored to be taking Scoot). We will make a three team trade that lands us better fitting role players and Zion for Ant, Nurk, pick 3 (Scoot) and possibly a couple of our other guys not named Dame or Shaedon.
