FIRST HOLY SHIT IS THAT ZION IN THE THUMBNAIL???
Patrick Williams could also do this pretty easily
Second lmao
So early I rusted my bucket 😏
Very disappointing to see Lamelo waste another year
They got clearly a bright future ahead of them, if they could somehow get Zion while keeping their core three players, that’ll be impressive
Lamelo is a legitimate threat to public safety and he should be punished more often and lrke severely to stop him from running over toddlers in car. I believe having golf character is amazing for a NBA team. And being a horrible human being effects on the court ball. He just sucks
Julius Randle
I refuse to get another injury prone player
They need a real force at the 4/5. Preferably one who can play defense. If the Cavs decide to blow it up a lil, I think Jarett Allen would be a decent fit, as he can do hub/midrange stuff as well, which should fit with their style
Please change this thumbnail
What about franz
i bet rusty had a what’s next video for the magic but had to scrap it 😅
I was thinking Amen Thompson if Houston won’t pay him
I realllly wanted the hornets to trade for Jaren Jackson junior at the trade deadline. I think he would fit this team perfectly.
Give us Naz Reid
This is pleasant to watch, nice job
Die hard Charlotte fan….god no
Rusty why the hell do you never talk about OKC, bruh? We wanna hear your opinion on the team's performance too! Please bruh
Lamelo Ball is fundamentally too stupid, as a basketball player and in general, to be the best player on a championship team.
Zion, MPJ, and LaMelo would be the most toxic team of the decade
zion was goin ham in your area im cryin 😭
This would be a perfect team for Herb Jones and Tre Murphy. Honestly, if I’m the Hornets, I’ll give up some future picks and bridges to get it done. Knowing Joe Dumar, he’ll probably take Tijan Sulon
Thank you! I completely agree we have hit a ceiling with Miles and we need an upgrade at the 4.
The pelicans are stuck w zion they can eat that contract
10:25😂😂😂😂😂😂
I honestly disagree about miles bridges not being a good basketball player. I mean first off look at that first play in game. He was easily the best player on our team through the first 4 quarters until Coby white in the 4th. And that’s what he does he’s not the most consistent but a few times a game Brandon miller just gives it to miles with 2 seconds left on the clock and he has to throw something up. He’s one of our better defenders. He can do some good things just not the most consistent player but this whole season people have said he’s our weak link but I’m not sure if I see it.
I'd be fine if we could trade Bridges for anyone at all, that is all. Other than that, look for another big
Edit: the perfect 4 for this team is Aaron Gordon. So we just need a guy like him… easy right? lol
You can like LaMelo but why do we keep acting like he's a second year rookie and not a 6 year vet 🤷🏾♂️
They need Steph curry
They definitely don’t need Zion 🍔s
Alternative Forward Options:
Jerami Grant: not sure how interested the blazers will be in moving him especially with Dame’s return next season. He’s a scoring forward though with playoff experience, can guard up, and hit timely shots.
John Collins: assuming the clippers are on a short countdown to an implosion, John could be someone available for fairly cheap. Provides shooting space for an already crazy shooting squad, could potentially be an even more dominant attacker given all the space around him. At his best he’s not a reliable playmaker but he is a solid defender. Great Value Zion maybe.
Derrick Jones Jr.: again this is assuming clippers imploding. Derrick isn’t the home run star kind of option but more so a depth option to strengthen the forward rotation. I think he’d be great as a 3 & D option and he’s still got some leaping left in him. Could see him starting over Miles if miles was still on the team. Either way, really solid forward rotation.
Santi Aldama: Grizzlies are a dumpster fire. Here’s your floor spacing 4 that is both bigger and cheaper than MPJ. Santi could run at the 5, and create some really dynamic fast pace play with the hornets. Assuming he’s a fairly cheap buy, if miles is still on the team, Santi running the 5 with miles at 4 could boost miles effectiveness attacking the basket.
