RUMOR: Hornets TARGET Dennis Schroder 🚨 | Did Hornets Fans “Love” Miles Bridges?
The backup point guard search may finally be nearing an end. According to Hoops Hype’s Michael Scotto, the Hornets have been connected to Dennis Schroder, Cleveland’s veteran combo guard — and the ties run deep. Jeff Peterson’s longstanding relationship with Schroder dates back to their years together in Atlanta, and a web of German national team connections through Christian Andersen and Pontus Steinbach only adds to the case. The hosts examine what Schroder brings on the floor, how his shot selection has evolved in Cleveland, and lay out a realistic trade framework built around Dorian Finney-Smith and draft compensation.
From there, it’s time for a new summer segment. With Days of Thunder 2 reportedly filming in early 2027, the guys kick off a primer matching iconic characters from the original film to current Hornets — starting with Cole Trickle and the search for his modern-day equivalent on the roster.
To close things out, the show turns to Miles Bridges, who held his introductory press conference with the Phoenix Suns this week. Bridges and Suns decision-maker Brian Gregory both addressed his 2022 no-contest plea to felony domestic violence, and Bridges spoke about his relationship with Hornets fans during his time in Charlotte. The hosts weigh those comments against what actually took place during his tenure with the team, and debate just how strong that fan connection really was.
Trade rumors, a new silly season tradition, and a candid look back — all in one episode.

UNC fan I don't like nothing about Grayson Allen I'm sorry I love our team I think we're going to win 50 games I do not like Grayson Allen
DeAngelo Russell would be an amazing fit. If we are trading for a backup pg he would be a much better pickup to me than shroder imo
All I can think about is “man, what great moves these would be with Lamelo still on the team”
Schroeder will get sent to the Hornets for DFS if the Cavs dont land LeBron
Hornets need to try and get Scoot for a heavily protected FRP and a protected swap.

Team needs a real p.g. on the roster.
DS can easily be acquired, but will not be thrilled if they actually get him.
I cant be alone in wanting Russell Westbrook right?
how many years has this pod wanted a legitimate backup pg?
I don’t see a better mentor for Anderson.
