Jimmy Butler to the Hornets? | Good Injury Update News!!! | Cody Martin’s Role
Could Jimmy Butler realistically land in Charlotte? Doug Branson and Walker Mehl break down the feasibility of a blockbuster trade and whether the Hornets’ state priorities and newfound focus on culture aligns with that type of move. Plus, we discuss injury updates, including positive news on Miles Bridges and Tidjane Salaun, and what these returns mean for the team’s momentum. We take a closer look at Cody Martin’s polarizing season. Is the team asking too much of him, or is it time to consider moving on? Tune in for all this and more as we prepare for a pivotal stretch in the Hornets’ season.

Walker, it was great seeing your segments on the Reel Access episode!
That was a pretty unenthusiastic "Game Time" from Doug.
Congrats on your cameo on Reel Access Walker! You made it!
My Wife and I just visited Charlotte for our anniversary in October and the city is massive! Was not expecting it to be so large but we had a wonderful time out there 💙
Hopping on the last Sicko Satchel question. I don't think we'd ever see a 2nd NBA team in Charlotte within the next few decades, but a WNBA team would be far more likely to happen, possibly even within the next decade. Also, you guys mentioned the mining. There's actually speculation that there's going to be a huge boom for lithium mining in the NC mountains, as apparently we have one of the world's largest lithium deposits. You guys aren't far off on the 2049 theory!
Also, agree, no sense in getting rid of Cody Martin anytime soon, unless it's part of a package deal for a major upgrade on the trade market.
Here we go another day of wishing to trade Melo
WTF
So you guys are just Sports Illustrated AI now, creating content out of completely unrealistic and BS clickbait trade talk? Lazy content creation again. I expect more from you. Maybe I shouldn’t, but I do.
Whats funny is melo out again around the same time few szns ago when DSJ was playin
I hope lamelo returns in JAN no need to rush
Can we please bring Lonzo over? Please? This will be BOX OFFICE if we do.
Say9ng you don't care what your listeners have to say to start it off today huh Doug? Real classy
These guys are cats pawing at balloons. 🐱🐾🎈
I know I didnt just hear charlotte culture and heat culture in the same sentence😂😂😂
The problem with Cody Martin that sometimes he wants to do more than what he can do, he is a good role player and defense point of attack

You have me saying Game Time. But y'all are not in sync anymore
jimmy butler is old….why would we want that guy we aren't even close to being a playoff team yet.. Jimmy Butler 35 yrs…16.5ppg 5 reb 3.5 assists is older than Gordon Hayward 34 yrs..15.5 ppg 4 reb 3.5 assists what are we talking about….we should have just signed Gordon for a Vet minimum or sweet hometown deal after he played out his contract with OKC and only wanted to be in Charlotte where he has permanently made his home…how much better is Jimmy than Gordon…not much and he requires a freaking MAX contract….this is the dumbest idea ive ever heard.
Pelicans will need to trade a player to get out of the tax. So the Hornets can get some seconds to take on a bit of salary.
You guys do an excellent job of addressing, including and answering questions. But also your tone is a real thing too.. still have much love!

….and It’s a NO on Butler. Especially under our current circumstances.
Cody has earned his place on the roster. I would like to see how he performs on a healthy team.
Simpson, Diabate, Salaun, Jeffries …. how about Isaiah Wong coming out of nowhere to play great D in crunch time against the Pacers. Love this team's new culture.
Nice feedback on Cody!!!
I love the content guys yet again. I also want to add that in the NBA today that I've been watching for over 35 years and a fan of the hornets for just as long. I believe today's NBA needs two starting fives 🎉
#bringbackthesting lead the movement DB
It’s great to see Miles back in contention, hopefully we can stay healthy for a stretch of games 👍🏻. We’ve been a lot better with Mark and Nick back in the rotation, they make a huge difference on both ends 🏀
Jimmy not coming to this small market and ima hornets fan ik this hebwanna winn nowww not wai
