Good news is the proposal only suggests picks and Anthony Black. The 3 of Banchero, Suggs and Franz remains intact.
If Lamelo can stay healthy this would be an excellent way to upgrade the team and still keep our best pieces and impact bench players. It’s such a big if though. Lamelo is on a big contract and it might just waste so many years of Paolo’s career if he can’t stay healthy.
Also can we really stomach another injury prone player? Thoughts?

LaMelo is a guy that would celebrate scoring 50 points in a loss and pout about scoring 10 points in a win. Not sure if he fits our culture.
Don’t like it. Outside of the fact he can’t stay on the court, Lamelo is “the guy” in Charlotte and they have one of the worst locker room dynamics in the league. Players like Gordon Hayward and Terry Rozier couldn’t wait to bad mouth the culture in Charlotte after they got traded this season.
#HELL NO
He and Trae present similar problems on and off the floor. Stay away.
I’ve thought about this a ton because he would fix some issues but he’s completely unserious and is hurt all of the time. Plus if he doesn’t work it would be devastating because he’s making 40+million per year through 2029.
No one wants to write an article about it because it isn’t flashy but the perfect player to add is just signing Tyus Jones in free agency.
Jordan doesn’t own the Hornets anymore, so I don’t see why they’d make this move. If the new owner wants to move LaMelo he’d go for a much splashier package than the one that’s in that article.
Ball doesn’t stay in long enough to make a difference to me. Black I think would end up being better in the long run
No.
No thanks we don’t want his dad anywhere near here
Dude is toxic
