A Charlotte Hornets Rebuild, But I Trade LaMelo Ball…
and we back today I am trading lamelo ball you you asking me why Kenny is there any rumors no not not really but I really wanted to rebuild the Charlotte Hornets and I feel like trading lamelo ball is the way we get to where we need to go uh so let let’s do it now that made it seem like lamelo’s a scrub or something y’all know lamelo’s is one of the best point guards in the game but I’m just I’m just thinking about the trade deadline they had you know almost trading Mark Williams lamelo B already got his extension new ownership new new general manager for the last couple years it kind of feels like there’s a world where lamelo ball ends up getting traded that’s all so I’m going to in this fake universe that I’ve just created lamelo ball will be getting traded but it will be uh after the end of the season because it start today and the trade deadline is already over we also have Mark Williams on the team uh I think I think we trade him I think we trade him as well considering they tried to trade him and and uh you know that got rescinded but but I’ll see y’all at the end of the season it looked like we in real conversation for Cooper flag just say that yic wins his thth MVP then we got Alex s 6 man goes n re with Victor I’m in time most improved Trey young cl play Ken Aon is coach of the year and anybody from our team no I I just highly highly doubt that uh we finished the season with a record of 1963 1963 that sound like Cooper flag is coming to Charlotte but what do I know the timberwol was make it to the finals and lose in five against Jason Tatum accompany this time around Jason Tatum gets his Finals MVP shout out to him here we go Moment of Truth this is where the video really does start we have the second best odds behind the Wizards and we fall all the way to five so that’s fun the Trailblazers jump up the 76ers jump up and we fall cool that’s that’s super fun um any other first round picks from us no that’s it all right so let’s go trade lamelo ball this is why I’m thinking about it you know before it gets going we can find teams that are buying or contending and say like lamelo ball with the magic make a lot of sense in my in my fictional 2K mind they could give us some young players here there we could give them bada boom bada bam that’s done the MAV the Mavericks are buying then we get contending nuggets we get rebuilding Pacers selling rebuilding rebuilding buying um would the Charlotte Hornets have interest with the Charlotte I mean what I’m the Charlotte horn with the Houston Rockets have interest FR gone so that leaves in with lamelo ball Jaylen green I’m in Thompson I guess Dylan Brooks t e Jabar Smith Jr is a fourman and then that’s interesting um here’s another buying team they ain’t got nothing I want they ain’t got nothing I want lamelo ball alongside Anthony Edward could be interesting but what do they give us oh they extended Julius Rand in this universe I feel like that happens every time we do a rebuild here now there is just not a lot of team that could use his Services unless we send him to the Miami Heat for some stuff I don’t like that that’s the only team that kind of maybe makes sense right now the point guard Market is kind of be like in this world if I’m going to make this happen oh they made bamayo four now oh my God shout out to Bam so money matching is such an easy part it’s a matter of what type of draft Capital can I get 19th overall pick and then like they only have three tradeable first is that is that what we want in this potential trade like they could send us back Terry rosier um actually I would rather have dunin Robinson but maybe I have to have both let’s see 13 million I will take back I want Nicole yic in this trade or hameh Haas so maybe we’re going to have to wait to do this trade to after they get their um their team option extensions I want one or both of these dudes here if if I’m going to do this hypothetical trade nothing else really makes sense man unless again I go to the Orlando Magic they can give us kcp trisan the Silva like they could make the money match pretty easily I would 100% want Anthony black straight though so I have to wait that those are my two options let’s go to the draft fifth overall pick it’s not going to give us Cooper flag but we can still draft well here first overall pick Cooper flag goes to the was W second overall pick Dylan Harper goes to the Utah Jazz third overall pick Ace Bailey goes to the Blazers fourth overall pick they take Trey Johnson which is surprising because they already got Maxi and they got jir McCain so that leaves the door open for us to get VJ hypothetically uh let’s see these trade offers Bobby poris Kobe Wy nothing that jumps off right now so I think we go ahead and we draft here here uh we can go VJ Edgecomb we can go that’s the only one that makes me really interested I like yeah I’m I’m going VJ here I actually like that fit a lot but I mean I guess I like that fit a lot more if lamelo was on the team either way I think that’s a that’s a good pickup uh fears goes early demon goes early the Chicago Bulls trade the pick to the Knicks for two future first all right um this draft is all over the place huh asaa finally goes oh my God some I might have to trade up man wait who’s still available hold on hold on hold on hold on who’s still available bro matat is still available here I may have to trade up to get the big fella man who’s on the who’s on the oh the Spurs are on the board I don’t know if the Spurs should be be uh going Center here but I I would really like this pick 15th overall pick in this trade H I don’t have a lot to give you that’s the problem uh I could give you my two seconds so I give you can trade up and get two second round picks there and I can give you Josh aogi this is the most unrealistic trade there is but thank you oh they still say no okay then I’ll give you this nuggets second and I’m not giving you a first round pick to move up right here oh man I can give you five second round picks this Clippers one dang they’re not budging they’re not budging they’re not budging okay if we go what if we did trade finder for I I really want matat here cuz in my mind I’m trading away Mark Williams anyway so now we got a different Center uh they want miles Bridges but they want a future first I can’t give you miles Bridges who’s behind you the Magic in my mind they’re not they’re not draft in the center you like I’m not I’m not expecting the Spurs to draft Center they have Victor with miyama so I’m going to try to do this then I can’t give them a player um they want the Dallas 2027 yo Dallas 2027 could be interesting considering you know they don’t have LCA donic anymore uh this is a worst swap between the Suns and The Grizzlies we have a Miami Heat Lottery protected for 2027 I’ll give you that one cool all right so we just traded up they took Canal um I’m going to take matat cool 72 out of Duke you know going to defend well how well I don’t know his overall is at 74 I think that’s a good draft from us wow Colin Murray Bo go so low I might have wanted to draft him if I knew he was still available they want me to decline Brandon Miller’s team option cut it out all right now we go talk to your Orlando Magic we say hey man I know you uh could use some more offensive punch we will take back um Anthony black where where’s um K where’s kcp see not having kyp’s contract makes makes this impossible is kcp a free agent and I’m tripping kyp’s contract has an option on it no way right can tavius Carwell I feel like I will remember that no it doesn’t 2K just sold us why is he a free agent right now he’s guaranteed 22 this year and 21 next year and then he’s got an option so they just sold our trade right there because kcp should be the part of the trade that’s giving us the bul of the salary let’s trade finder lamelo ball there I can’t believe how how much that sold me trade finder was trash um we can still go back here and make something happen picks that they have kind of trash though Miami Heat again still a real option I’m going to keep that in mind the Miami Heat real op how fun is this woohoo they only have no they only have two tradeable first bro this is a terrible haul for lamelo ball man that’s a terrible hul for lamelo even if I get hame too oh oh oh y’all are the ones getting finesse y’all okay I’m talking myself into Houston they let Fred Van walk they’re looking for point guard play they still have Jaylen green amen Thompson Alper shenon and T een in the type and um cam Whitmore and this hypothetical and they drafted Boogie flan so like they still have a lot of their young guys I would wonder former third overall pick ree Shepard and another former third overall pick Jabar Smith Jr I want no picks in this one just give me the players they want Josh Green they’ll give us a pick and they also want MOA diabate I don’t hate this um diabate I really like though I mean I don’t know if he I don’t know what his progression looks like but they give us the first rounder all right let’s try to do it without Musa instead we give you uh hey take Josh oh they can’t take Josh K’s contract yeah they they want matat and this one never mind you’re not getting matat never mind let’s go to the original trade I guess diabate is Expendable because we did get matat so the deal is done we just we just trade lamelo ball to Houston in exchange for Dylan Brooks Jabar Smith Jr and hope hoping that re sheeper turns into something next can we find a team that would be interested in the back that is um a Mark Williams now Mark Williams’s contract what are we looking at it’s it’s only 6 million so we could kind of send them to a lot of different teams is there a team that’s could be looking for a young Center to help with their rebuild um or not it doesn’t have to be a rebuild it could legitimately be like hey he’s a good player and we take him on the team all right I got a team in mind um I kind of like the idea of the Wizards too if you want to make alexar a fourman and then that gives them an opportunity cuz they oh no they drafted Cooper flag who lowkey is probably more of a four than a three so no they’re fine they don’t they don’t need that they don’t need that I found a team I’m looking to see if there’s another team that makes sense here um this team tried to I mean they took a center from us last year we could give them a different Center what what type of draft Capital y’all got I take I take these picks bro hold on I was originally thinking about the Pacers cuz Miles Turner is a free agent and it will only cost him Obi in a first but you know what I’m I’m interested in some of these these picks man so uh s back Cody so is back Cody Martin and now I want to see if we can get all these picks they w a second Mark Williams all of these picks that are swaps here there we bring back Cody Martin that’s a deal that is done man we we’re wheeling and dealing we getting a lot of future picks the last person I do want to trade is Miles Bridges he’s upset we traded away lamelo we traded away all of his guys and he’s 27 years old I’m not really interested in having him on a team he’s a fourman making $25 million that shouldn’t be a problem did I mentioned in this video that this is not supposed to be hyperrealistic and say we’re just having fun trying to get the charl hor championship did I mentioned that earli hopefully I mentioned that early cuz that’s the reality of this video send him to the lake show we we take back the contracts as Maxi Cleveland gave vinent expiring deals in the future first they want one of those seconds I can’t give you that one of those first I can’t give you that first but I could give you a couple seconds if you want three seconds they’ll give us back Shake we get a good first round pick from the Lakers boom all right so wow what a bunch of deals we just did huh so um one thing we want to do is make it that Dylan Brooks is a three- man Jabar can be the four we still have nage on the team and it’s it’s an expiring we’re gonna start the rookie anyway we’re starting a rookie over him we do have money to go get a point guard just a a placeholder point guard for this season so I’m thinking we just we give tus a one year H let’s give him a let’s give him a team option one-year team option deal come here make a lot of money play for a bad team and uh everything oh the Pacers get their guy back so luckily I didn’t trade them Mark Williams because they did end up bringing their guy back I guso went to the Bucks n walk gos to the Pistons okay I I think we just did had a really good offseason personally but I’m also the guy that made the offseason happen so who knows maybe we didn’t have a good offseason only time tell Trey man is back on the team play progressive he’s plus three for Brandon Miller plus three plus three plus three I love some plus threes tazas Salon looks like he might be a real player eventually reer jumps up for that’s huge for us he could be a rotational player and Grant Williams will be back he’s probably going to get his butt traded but like we we look I’m okay with the way things are looking right now we got to cut two people oh it’s going to be tough we’re going to cut oh uh that’s a lot of money to just cut Caleb Martin you know what that’s actually not a lot of money to cut because we’re bad anyway and it was an expiring deal so I’m not tripping about that and I guess Gabe Vincent both of the players that we got back from the Lakers trade they’re gone they’re gone should be a fun year should be a fun year I’m going to really Buy in to lamelo I’m going to make sure tazan Salon has real minutes I’m going to make sure pretty much all of our younger guys are getting real minutes and as long as we do that we’re going to be bad again which is understandable um we’re going to be bad it’s going to be but I just need the Young Dudes to continue to progress that’s all man yeah we need to really let these young guys play so we need to um go here and then with Coach Charles Lee you can pick a young or old I’m going super young I’m putting I’m putting that at 20 how does that change the rotation well it’s Reed Shephard oh my God they want to start Reed over tus I gave tus a little bag to come here but like start read yeah yeah like if you want a fun young team VJ edcom should 100% get minutes so I need to change something about that yeah yeah no over Shake Milton get out of here BJ edcom should definitely get minutes he don’t have to start though cuz he is still pretty young um yeah man we don’t have a lot of bigs in rotation first game of the season is a loss Brandon Miller you know what I’m going to do with Brandon Miller shot Tennessee I’m I’mma jump it man it says 70 right now I need it to be 80 uh let’s go 94 Jabar SMI Jr I need you to go 75 uh who else who else who else vj’s good reach Shephard I’m going to get you to a little bit higher King and then when Trey man comes back back in a couple weeks I need his go up cuz I need him to come off that bench and give us bucket so okay cool that’s good that’s good game number two we lose as well and yeah Bari see this is a year about progressing for our younger guys um I don’t know who the best player in this year’s draft is going to be but we we might get him whoever he may be we might get him oh we get back toback wins can we make it a three-man little little three win streak no but we do beat the Miami he Brandon Miller is 26 points right here he’s averaging 21 on the season Barb’s averaging 20 Nick is averaging 12 we should still be a team that’s wheeling and dealing making some trades here there like Dylan Brooks as good as he can be definitely not a guy that necessarily needs to be on his team for the rest of the season so we might trade him um to give us more opportunity for VJ to start who so far of his rookie season’s 10 points per game in a Liv am of minutes so yeah yeah we we should be still dealing and we got some expiring deals this might be a weird year where we’re buyers even though we’re bad expiring nerkish Dylan Brooks’s contract we might be buyers even though we’re bad just keep that that in mind the best player in the draft is Robin Perkins he’s Tim Duncan or Tom gugliada uh we got a center it’s a it’s a big man draft it looks like and if you don’t have the first overall pick kind of out of luck these other dudes are kind of trash which is fine we’re at the we’re at the de line as of today I think we’re probably going to have the worst one of the worst records that’s cool I again I think there’s a war where we become a little bit of buyers right now we have a selling Sacramento Kings team they have traded for Paul George they traded Zack LaVine for Paul George okay uh we have who else is selling who else is selling it’s not oh we have a selling Trailblazer team they have scool Henderson who’s looking good Shaden sharp is injur right now story of his life and may maybe we’re not buyers there’s not a lot to buy there’s lit not a lot to buy right now so we might just be chilling we might just be moving salary around Brandon Miller’s 22 points per game 18 for Barry Trey Mann is back he’s 15 what’s that say 15 oh Dylan Brooks is really upset fine that that makes it so much easier to move you man so thank you for that who could possibly be buying on Dylan Brooks yeah anybody got a big expiring contract that they want to pop to us and we give them a good player um you have to be a good team too though I can’t just send them to the Bulls but I’m assuming the Bulls are bad and that assumption is yeah is a good assumption the New York Knicks you I have a $20 million in expiring contract no no I’m just looking at these top teams no uhhuh um oh they trade for v no no dang the Brooklyn Nets are three games over shout out to the Nets man they traded for Josh giddy oh no they just picked up Josh giddy in freey the Bulls said nah we’re good all right K Cunningham them y’all are running the little youth movement maybe you don’t even want that type of play oh they traded for Drew holiday this whole simulation is kind of crazy Orlando Magic don’t really need that they got all the defense in the world um okay all right out west makes it a little bit more easier I think think I mean the Dallas Mavericks are doing great stuff the sons are doing great stuff our old friend Mark Williams is on the team if you don’t remember he’s averaging 10 and 10 uh they got John Collins okay they didn’t made some moves over here Suns I see y’all um okay yeah not I don’t like there’s a lot of different places for him to go where is Steph Curry he must just be injured yeah he’s injured okay what if I just straight up trade finder let’s let’s see in the trade finder what exactly will we get Zack LaVine on the 76ers expiring deal we get a future first round pick from the Milwaukee Bucks the Bulls are interested Jaylen Tyson is an interesting guy no no Desmond Bane y’all trying to pop off Desmond Bane if you don’t want Desmond Bane I trade for Desmond Bane but I don’t like that I don’t like that trade right miles Bridges got traded again now he plays for New Orleans okay yeah I’m not liking a ton of these trades the Spurs K Johnson are oh my God K Johnson’s trash I would take on an extra first round pick and in Kellin Johnson for upgrade for them all right yeah you got yourself a deal there you go Kellin Johnson’s not having a greatest season they trade him to us maybe we can rehabilitate his value just a little bit we play him at the three yeah looks good sound like a good deal to me sound like we just came up and we’re just going to let Yousef nage expire he he doesn’t play for us we he hasn’t even reported to Camp we’re in February he ain’t reported yet and and I that’s cuz we told him not to Yoki is MVP number 94 coer flag is Rookie of the Year bones Highland I see you bones and then we get Cam Whitmore most improved see look we open up an opportunity for cam Whitmore to be spazzing out there um let’s see lamelo how how’ you perform in your first season with the Rockets uh they missed the playoffs oh maybe they didn’t miss the playoffs they are 18 all right well we won a total of 27 games I think it was 19 last year so better team without lamelo ball that’s what the numbers are saying oh and lamelo ball took his team to the Conference Finals so shout out to Melo wow two of our old friends lamelo ball and Mark Williams make it to the Conference Finals who is that F big dog who what is that’s a real guy hold on hold on hold on what I got to be missing something I got to be missing something I got to be missing something who is this who is this from Kansas you know sometimes um sometimes you can’t put players real names in so the people that create the rosters do crazy stuff so I’m looking to see if there’s a is there if there’s a dude this is supposed to be and I’m looking at Kansas’s roster oh it’s supposed to be this dude it’s supposed to be you yeah it’s got to be you 610 220 in the game they got him um yeah 69 220 okay so it’s supposed to this is supposed to be you so all right okay you live me learn I’m like what the heck is going on big dog big dog big dog yeah big dog out there all right so we do get the NBA Finals that’s the Suns versus the Cavs um pretty interesting series I see let’s see who’s going to win it playing team versus a team that was real good all season long Suns get the game Den the Cav 3-1 comeback for the Suns no the Cavs win that Championship cool bronze calls of the career saying there with Chris Paul I can tell Brody he ain’t he can’t do it yet though so shout out to Brody draft lottery here we go as of today the Bulls oh my God shout out to my Bulls we have potential potentially three lottery picks right now potentially three lottery picks right now will we retain those three yeah it’s 69 and 10 though the Thunder got one and two the Bulls got four and five the Thunder have nine is what oh my goodness and this is a draft where I said what if you don’t have number one and no ain’t no real reason to be in it well they got number one and number two OKC does so shout out to them I guess we got three first round picks which is pretty cool under most circumstances today maybe not so much I’m still try my best to draft well first overall pick goes to Robin Perkins that’s the real stud of the draft then they went with Lan sharp another good player maybe uhhuh the Bulls take a center then a point guard and then it’s up to us we are up to bat and the best player available is a center from Greece that has great post defense and rebounding but he’s trash at everything else then we oh my God I’m trading this pick I’m trading at least one of these picks you not going no no no no no you out your mind you think I’m keeping this pick Jabar Smith Jr said he won’t resign oh no I’m sorry that’s Brandon Miller that said he won’t resign yes you will that’s a great thing about that you have no choice uh we could we could make some things happen I guess with Grant Williams’s 15 million we might have to just draft with the pck man Grant Williams’s 15 plus pick number oh my God I forgot you three lottery picks in this bad bad draft all right question is like these are some really interesting trades the question is what which direction or what type of player should we be looking for right um I could try to like cuz right now we have unlimited amount of cap space so if there was a team a bad team with a good point guard that we say hey man I will give you all of the lottery picks in this year’s draft to take your point guard off your hands I just don’t I don’t remember to standing so I can’t tell you what the bad who the bad point guards are I’ve never seen this before it says retiring I told James he couldn’t retired he said no I’m I’m going to retire who are the the the good point guards on bad teams I don’t know man oh I’m an idiot I could just go to the this cuz if you were outside the lottery um or if you were in the lottery then you were a bad team in most cases right so except for the thunder so we get like the Pelicans would have Zion that’s kind of interesting but that’s not a point guard the Warriors the no none of the point guards that are good R in the lottery I’m going to draft I’m going to draft and and go upside here so we have this point guard Rodney Marshall World be free of L will okay we have another point guard here JoJo white or man Tyson Chandler comp Dolph Shay at the ceiling he’s 22 years old already though you’re not going to hit that ceiling if you already uh own enough to drink and some I hate this draft this is a really bad draft I may have to go with this Center that we we definitely don’t want no he’s too oh I’m going with Rod York the shortest name you can get Rod York his name is seven letters he can’t be good because of that there’s no way he’s a good player we have a trade to announce the Bulls traded up they traded Malik Beasley and Tim Hardway Jr for the eighth overall pick that’s a steal too bad this draft stinks but that’s he gave up two players that you don’t even care about I drafted some players that that said they had some pretty high potentials um when it comes to their ceilings in their floor that’s the best I can really do man that’s the that’s the best I can really do right now dog I’m sorry the one year we have all the draft picks of the year that nobody in the draft is good Gabe York sucks um we got Grant MTI then we got Peter Shaw all of those guys stink I’m going to sign them all um except for you no you’re bad actually you two I gave up two first round picks I don’t Trey young is a free agent I repeat Trey young is a free agent if we go get Trey young that means we have to let Trey man walk Trey man is really good if you didn’t know he ain’t Trey young though he he’s really good but he definitely ain’t Trey young the problem is if we bring in Trey young if we bring in Trey young then it’s going to stump whatever Reed Shepard is going to do which maybe we shouldn’t care it’s Rees Shepard versus Trey is Rees Shepard GNA ever be as good as Trey young is a question we got to ask our so the answer is probably not oh no he’s going back to the Hawks $275 million he’d be crazy not to take that money I did all that conversation for no reason he’s not coming here they made dear Fox a shooting guard because he plays with with oh my God they made him a shooting guard plays with Chris Paul in real life that would be my point guard I can also go get Dyson Daniels but he wants 44 million so no I can’t go get Dyson Daniels uh Jay dub is here he’s going back though the Lakers gave him a big contract but he’s going back a lot of restrictive free agents Kevin Durant is going back to the Suns after their finals push okay all right yeah so I can I can do the nobody’s giving dear Fox a real off and um I guess it’s going to be us H JK what what why did they catfish me into thinking that we have money to spend and why did I fall for it why did I fall for it all right just bring back the guys I did all of that to not you won $41 million you haven’t done anything Trey man dog I love you but you ain’t done anything why do you want $21 million bro oh my God okay all right all right I I I can give you uh 185 185 is a number I can give you Trey somebody got give Jabari a qualifying offer I’m not just giving up that type of money to Jabari Smith Jr I’m sorry Bari I I like you a lot trust me I do but $40 million is insane for a player of your caliber I can’t lie it’s just in that’s insane that you and your agent would think that you are worth that much money show me go to player progression hit the 90 overall Club if you that bad one year 13 million so instead of okay I’m gonna match it I mean instead what your agent needs to be fired VJ jumps up seven Reed jumps up six Kellin jumped up Tan Salon jumped up Nick Smith Jr jumps up okay malat only jumps up too that’s a bad sign that he’s his ceiling’s probably not very high and Brandon Miller jumps up as well okay we look fine we look fine uh we might have to make something big happen though now that I’m thinking about it CU this team probably has a ceiling again of they could be they might be a playing team this year yeah yeah we could be a playing team this year Shake Milton sorry you got to go they could be a player team this year which would be which would be cool it would be real cool but we may have to go get a Bonafide 1A as some of these guys are not progressing as fast the matat one sucks though and it makes sense we got him what pick number 20 maybe pick number 20 so I don’t know why I expected him to be like this great great Center he’s just not we got a lot of good point guards though and just not a lot of wings so we’re going to make Brandon the three right so VJ VJ VJ starts on this team yeah yeah he starts we probably oh no no no that that makes things that makes things so much easier no that’s probably the right play it’s probably the right play yeah our our Center and power four rotation is trash I do believe maybe we Trey Trey Jones right now or Ty Jones right now is there a team that could use an 80 overall point guard before the season starts oh my God the Denver Nuggets have no point guard play but they also don’t have any big man play to help us out they traded for Larry marketing all right and Oh I thought that was Andrew wickins but it’s Aaron they didn’t they didn’t did stuff to that team I like that jiren Jackson Jr wiben Yama Deon Vel Bradley Beal Stefan Castle Malachi brandham their point guard play stinks I’m not helping that team out sorry I’m not helping that team out they look n bro jiren and Victor wanyama on the same team are you kidding me yeah I’m going to trade finder tyus Jones for a a wing or big um we we could go yaboo here he will come in and play his shooting splits last year were off Robert Williams and Goga Baza are just better than W Carter right now so we’ll bring in W Carter to be some a backup um fivan oh he’s going to start no no wait what oh wait wait I think we got to change this back old versus young now let’s just play good players okay so wendale Carter is going to start I do think that mot should still get minutes right I mean he averaged two blocks per game last year and he hit some threes there’s no way he shouldn’t be in a rotation at all so we’re going to make it a 10 in rotation so we can get some aot minutes down there um and I would I would play him over Deon Shard personally just because he’s a part of the long-term future a little bit more okay all right I think this could be a team that’s competitive first game of the regular season is a loss all right let’s act like that didn’t happen now we go against yic and Company this should be better yes see that’s the win Brandon Miller thank you I think this is a good VJ year and a good re sheeper year Rees sheeper shooting splits are awful every year this could be the year that things turn around if he can shoot it efficiently and maybe get more than one one assist is my starting point guard what the heck one ass hold on let’s try maybe that was an anomaly let’s keep it going uh one assist starting point guard four assist zero points huh I’m going to keep that in mind Reed because I I am not in love with you enough that you won’t get traded if you continue to play bad I ain’t lying so we are a playoff team full stop five seed right now um 50490 for Barry BJ is doing great stuff 14 6 and five We R round up a little bit I can’t believe my starting point guard is averaging two assists per game that’s fine uh six-man the year candidate Trey man we look good dog we look good man and y’all know me I’m I’m I’mma put gasoline on it man who can we trade for who can we trade for Isaiah hardenstein never looks good in 2K never mind who can we trade for uhhuh Luca them are struggling I ain’t got no Luca trade package but oh he he’s still he’s Untouchable too okay all right Anthony Davis not Untouchable they’re the number one seed they say you can still trade for him they W Brandon Miller too bad you’re not getting them come on come on I’m waiting I’m waiting for that one guy to be on the team uh Zion just keep keeps on Zion and I’m adding Zion to my list man they’re the 15 seed how much longer can you keep them on the team they already got an Untouchable his name is jeremi fierce they’re they’re going his Direction More Than Zion Zion’s on my on my target list on my target list we have Jaylen Johnson not Untouchable okay okay we get a a selling Celtics team Jason Tatum’s out for a long time Jaylen Brown is there I’m not paying that Jaylen Brown money um they the 12th seat is crazy because that’s still like a good competent lineup to me but what what do I know I just be playing 2K and watching NBA games and stuff Jordan beid is not Untouchable instead they are buying even though they’re awful like really really bad all right all right don’t mind that don’t mind that it looks like in my personal humble opinion that Zion Williamson is the player that makes the most sense here um so I’m going to try to shoot I’m going it’s $40 million in order to get there I Jabari is going to hit unrestricted free agent unrestricted free agency he didn’t want to sign with us in the first place I he might have to be a casualty here even though we’re playing such good basketball uh Grant Williams makes that easy he ain’t really he ain’t playing who else how much money we need we need $7 million okay this is where we start throwing these weak old rookies that we drafted two star Peter Shaw and then York is two star as well okay we take back I thought that was Cory Joe instead that’s Chuck Joe they say no uh because he’s a valuable asset and I agree that’s why I want them on my team I give you one first round and they say no because we still do have two other first round picks the Mavericks were really good so I don’t need their first rounder and then actually I I think the Cav is going to be good too since Timber will swap so actually that’s why the pick’s not valuable we can go Lakers first for next year no okay okay we can make something happen we can make it happen ah I don’t want to do like malat who’s three star value I don’t want to do tajan Salon who’s three star value but he don’t even play he very rarely plays man he very rarely plays here that’s tough bringing Max dreu Jabar Smith Jr toan shalan one first round pick and we make it two we give them the Mavericks pick oh my God we give them the Lakers pick and that Lakers pick is good deal Zion Williamson welcome to the team all right I why is Reed sheeper not passing the ball does he have bad passing attributes um pass accuracy and pass Vision are really high or oh the vision is low the accuracy in the IQ is high uh what if we go to his Tendencies po throw Pass open man is at a 50 let’s throw that up to like a 70 cuz as much as we like him if he can’t pass as a one I can’t have him be my starting point guard you know what I’m saying you can’t play starting point guard guard on this team if you can’t pass I don’t know if that that trade helps us much this season it’s kind of like a Long play for Z Brandon Miller wants to test free agency Nick Smith Jr said he’ll resign why do you want $30 million bro what are you doing that you think you disolve 30 K Johnson what are you even doing ah yic is just that’s what MVP number five for real for real is that number five is there number six that’s number six oh my goodness the rookie ended up winning Rookie of the Year uh-huh uh-huh uh-huh we don’t get coach of the year or executive of the year that’s completely okay um our boy Zion makes an all NBA team so shout out to him that makes us feel good and we ended up being a twocc we are a 2C going against the Orlando Magic team we’ve made a trade with before so this is your revenge Wale this is your revenge wendale we got Trey man starting over Reed Shepard because he can pass a little bit more we lose game one we lose game two we win game three okay fight back three to them game seven our first playoff appearance at some time the Charlotte Hornet ain’t won no playoff series in gazillion years it like we going get it done here we’re up by 20 plus that usually is enough to make it happen and it is okay we get our first playoff win or playoff series win now we get the New York Knicks in the second round the Knicks are Rocker with Jaylen brunon mes mbde OG Josh Hart and Carl Anthony towns I don’t know if Mel is gone or he’s a bench player now let’s see he is gone okay VJ EDC come remember this is a year two player he just dropped 30 he just dropped 30 in the playoff game game two we win game three we win ladies and gentlemen we’re in the Conference Finals to go against the one- seated Brooklyn Nets Josh giddy cam Thomas Liam McNeely Jonathan mobo and Nicholas claxon we are the better team are we going to the finals okay wait wait wait let’s chill they were a one seed um is this just cam hooping how are y’all oh Josh giddy oh my God God Josh KY playoff numbers are insane okay they got yaka Jonas too game two we win behind Brandon Miller and Zion with a 1915 F game eight offensive boards we get another game this time it’s the rook and it’s Cen uh oh okay they they got that um game five we win game five are we in the finals we go to a game seven going to a game seven we’re going to a game seven all right all right lock in y’all Max stru is playing Max stru is a playoff performer or he has has been once upon a time and that’s enough here we go here we go we are on the road in Barclays can we walk out of there with a win we win the first half by real gar the second quarter they break all of that back up it is a six-point game make that yeah six-point game ladies and gentlemen we’re in the finals to go against the Houston Rockets now lamelo has a chance to ruin our hopes as we traded him away oh that’s crazy Cinema that’s what it is it’s Cinema okay um I think we can hang I think we can hang we no longer have Jabari or Dylan Brooks though game one we do win Zion and Brandon Miller and Kellin Johnson who I tried to trade you away K and I can’t lie so the fact that you in here hooping is um attestment to your resiliency Brandon Miller with 30 this is not supposed to be a championship season y’all it’s not supposed to be a championship season but we’re right here it’s 22 we’re right here I’m not about to fold the cards baby we right here another game 32 oh my goodness Brandon Miller finals this is

19:53 flory bidunga not being able to be put in the game sucks… he went to high school in Indiana and bro is a dawg
I've watched 19:02 like 20 times, Kenny's reaction is hilarious lmaoooo
Keep doing you Kenny, always love the content. Great vid per usual
Meeting up against Lamelo in the finals and winning is just poetic
I NEED A F BIG DOG CAREER VIDEO NOW!!
It may take years but I just want and even tho I’m not content with average I just want the Hornets to be a top 16 organization in the NBA, so tired of this losing year after year and not some sustained success
"if your name is 7 letters you cant be good" YAO MING
How do you give players a secondary position? I know how to change the normal position but i cant find it to change or give them a sec. Position.
Could have sent lamelo to the wizzards for the first pick and some other stuff
All of the suffering for hornets fans have paid off, your NBA CHAMPIONS!. Then I wake up
if u had a subscriber every time u were top 3 odds in the draft, and dropped to 5. u would have at the least 1 billion subscribers😂
Why not use the real 2026 draft class? Get Dybansta or a Boozer on the team instead of auto generated guys
Pat Riley is screwing us irl and in game 💔
F BIG DOG IS A GOAT IN 2k but in like 2050😂
This video is crazy! 1. He trades Lamelo. 2. He then tries to sign Trae Young
As long as we got Brandon miller we good
Definitely better if traded
FLORY MENTION FINALLY he played at Kokomo High School in Indiana. bros a baller
That draft class maker be lazy as hell with the names sometimes. Instead of the players' actual names, he just puts whatever the closest name in 2k is.
How u not take sengun💔😭 or ivey
Trade melo, mark, and a 1st for sabonis and carter, draft vj or flagg, trade nurk and seth and a 1st, for claxton, sign ty jerome and walker alexander in FA
Rockets for melo make sense but u got fleeced
Florian BigDog is the best name ever
If Kenny doesn’t make a video following Florian Big Dog’s and make him a MVP I’m gonna be disappointed!
14:16 I can’t take another “progression” year it’s been like that for YEARSSS 😂
I feel like the only "Realistic" trade for LaMelo should have been for Trae Young… He is already rumored to be gone, their value is not too far apart.
I doubt they would ever trade a young star like him for some picks hoping to get something similar to him.
he and lonzo are not bad very under rated but can't stay healthy and have limited mins cause of injury so they barely play but when they do they I give them both a 8/10 rating they make the team better regardless win or loose but I get it go to another team and have a second chance on life etc maybe another team doctors etc can do better you never know
19-63 the irl record💀2k knows
Shout out to the Indiana basketball legend Flory Bidunga aka Florian Big Dog
i just looked at the title my first thought was impossible
Oh how the irony sets in.
26:16 Jabari held out just to get 14 million for 1 year. 😅
Horrible trades bruh smh
Charlotte is my team and I find this rebuild funny, "Lets rebuild Charlotte" (proceeds to trades every starter)….. Yup I know my team is trash lol
10:25 Kenny really predicted Mark Williams being traded to the Pheonix Suns
This guy is literally the worst! Glossing over players like Senguin in trade finder. Saying this draft is horrible! Then taking 2 picks in the lottery and another first and instead of trading them, make the picks and forget about them because they are high 60's. All anyone has to do in franchise mode is get young players, and Player Progression will do the rest of the job for you. 🤣
if i was the hornets id trade him in real life too. he stay injured too much
