No. I think Giannis would be great but without Melo our offense is horrible. We need a point guard to set things up. White will be a good addition for the bench. I donβt believe he is a starter on a playoff team.
Fair take.
Based on recent championship teams you must have top quality guard and wing play to win the title.
I was a bit surprised Giannis did not get traded.
After all the dust has settled, it looks like the Hornets traded Sexton for White, Branham and Tillman. Those salaries seem to offset at ~$18M, as does some trading of second round draft picks. This seems like a win.
Though Iβm not completely sure how the Conley trade and waive affected things. I think the Hornets are on the books as having to pay his salary. If so, then maybe it is viewed as paying more for White than his actual salary.
Tepper would never
Waived Branham to bring back Connaughton.
Mike Conley to return to the Wolves but not immediately. Interesting cap gymnastics and waiver gymnastics to make sure he got traded twice so he could resign there.

Some extracurriculars too!
Oof. Winning streak to losing streak?
The Hornets are up 16 in the 3rd quarter against the Hawks.

Lamelo was clearly at fault. Thatβs gonna leave a
mark.
