Hornets Roster CRUNCH! Who Gets CUT? | Should Charlotte STILL Trade for Jonathan Kuminga? 🤔

We enter the rotation station to figure out who will be the odd men out as the Hornets trim their crowded roster down to 15 players. Then, we debate if Charlotte should make a move for Golden State’s Jonathan Kuminga amidst his ongoing contract negotiations.

  1. The warriors dont want monk because they would be hardcapped at 1st apron, they would need to trade away Moody or Hield in order to take Monk

  2. Is it crazy to think they could find a way to trade Bridges for Kuminga?? Or something along those lines.

  3. I say no on Getting in on the trade for KA because he reminds me of Ben Simmons he isn't in the league to be great melo is the same way we don't need another player who can't play a whole season we need to totally rebuild the hornets by trading MB and Melo now while there is value for the we can go after talented young bigs who are not getting a shine like bol bol would be a good fit in Charlotte we can let melo go for picks only mabe take someone who is on a big deal that isn't going to mind being traded to a contender at the deadline

  4. Cuts barring a last minute trade for NSJ, will be Jeffries, NSJ and Connaughton. You have to look at it from Jeff Peterson's standpoint. If the Connaughton trade had not occurred, you would still be looking at cutting three players including Micic and his $8.1M salary. Now you have Connaughton's $9.2M salary and two second rounders which are valued at around $500K-$1M cash each. The additional picks are probably worth more than their cash value when it comes to making trades and they have plenty of existing contracts on the roster for salary fillers. So Connaughton is easily expendable especially if it is a buyout.

  5. Great podcast Walker and Doug 🙌🏻, fully agree with Nick Smith Jr, I wanted him to impress last season because there’s definitely talent in his game. Unfortunately he just couldn’t ’grab the bull by the horns’ like you said, he has been given more than enough game time to show out but other players are ahead of him now in the depth chart 👍🏻

  6. Hola…
    Yo dejo ir a Green y me quedo con Nick Smith jr.
    También escuche por ahí sobre la posible incorporación del centro de Dallas, Daniel Gafford.

  7. CAN WE GET 70 GAMES FROM LAMELO AND BRANDON THIS YEAR ?

    Both of them are probably gonna start the season injured are rehabbing.

    I WOULD ROLL THE DICE AND GET KUMINGA

    I WOULD TRADE OUR LAST SEASON DRAFT PICK AND GET RID OF MILES BRIDGES TO

  8. My personal Hornets Lineup that fits the mordern NBA that can work.
