Charlotte Hornets 🐝

A little shocked that they gave another guard the two way.

I’m hearing on various podcasts that it’s expected Charlotte is shopping or will shop Sexton.

Likely to take back an inferior player and a pick.

Hopefully even an awesome 5 year career would make you eat your words.

I’ll be eating my words sooner than that. I was just wishing him a long career.

Would think he’ll be getting most of his PT with the Swarm. Did have a 34 pt game vs the Cavs last season.

BTW, Thunder was without 10 players, including their top 8 rotational players. So the Buzz A Team basically got drubbed by the OKC C Team, which led wire to wire. Summer League was fun but the preseason tipoff in North Charleston showed there’s a LOT of work to do.

Hopefully this performance means I was indeed wrong about Knueppel!

Are we assuming at this point that Sexton is on the trade block for a team needing veteran guard help later this season? That would seem to be the play here.

Listened to that game on the radio. Don’t think the bugs ever had a lead.

Did you look at the minutes played? So disingenuous.

I take it for what it is - the first of five preseason games that will determine the opening day roster and who gets sent down to Greensboro. OKC’s starters - as well as 5 others - didn’t even make the trip to the Low Country.

This "spin” by Hornets’ social media pretty funny considering the Buzz were literally trounced by the Thunder’s C-Team.

Granted the talent gap in the NBA is pretty small. Also, on the starting 5, Kon was brand new, but from there, when’s the last time those 4 played together at the same time? Forever ago I think.

They may have played a decent number of minutes, but it’s really just preseason. Reps for the coaches that get advertised for the general public

Ahead of tonight’s preseason game in OKC.

Much better showing for the Buzz but still a loss in which OKC again led wire to wire.

Next is Dallas, which beat OKC on Monday.
