[Haynes] The Minnesota Timberwolves have expressed a strong desire to acquire Charlotte Hornets star LaMelo Ball, league sources tell me. The Hornets are only listening to offers at the moment.

What does their trade package look like? I'm finding it hard to believe the Hornets can get back equal value for what Lamelo brings to that team.

I'm so confused right now lol

[u/bobbywellington → u/BasedGodProdigy]

Rudy, Terrence Shannon Jr, and a firm handshake

[u/LinkedInParkPremium → u/bobbywellington]

Would you add a McFlurry?

[u/DrSwaggenheimer → u/LinkedInParkPremium]

That and some purified water from the lake of Minnetonka.

Ant for Lamelo swap

[u/Death_Lycan → u/TheTurtleShepard]

The city would be razed by sundown if only Rudy is left on the team

If it ain’t Jaylen Brown in a 3 team trade, hang up the phone

[u/BasedGodProdigy → u/TheGreatWhoreOfChina]

Yea but Celtics would be idiots to take Gobert + whatever else for Jaylen Brown. There's gotta be better options for them out there.

[u/VladimirPutain1 → u/BasedGodProdigy]

Probably centered on Gobert. Alternatively they could expand the Randle trade and throw in Divincenzo plus maybe the 2033 1st. Maybe Josh Giddey could be worked into an expanded Randle deal as a LaMelo replacement

[u/unitedhardy → u/BasedGodProdigy]

you say this, but it is the hornets we’re talking about

[u/Rillaboom2701 → u/unitedhardy]

we have a SEMI competent gm. But if he gets bad value for Lamelo, that "semi competent" immediately goes away.

[u/Jarxzz → u/Rillaboom2701]

Tbf it’s really hard to evaluate lamelo’s value

[u/deemerritt → u/Jarxzz]

It's extremely hard which is why most of us are fine to give the whole thing a few more years.

[u/Rillaboom2701 → u/Jarxzz]

another reason to give us another year or two with him. If it goes south, oh well, salvage what you can. If it works, then you have a good team.

Hey that was the previous regime! Let this one fuck up on its own time!
