If anything, we should be thanking them for helping us get Dereck Lively and then giving us PJail.


i_take_shits

I’m bout to buy a hornets jersey now


NotADoctor108

Which one? I'm sure the selection is stellar.


SennKazuki

Y'all acting like PJ was a freebie, when we gave a whole first pick lol. Still worth imo but Charlotte is absolutely eating after that trade too.

epitome1986

the okc pick was used in the gafford trade. the hornets have the mavericks top 2 protected pick.


EvanEschmeyer

My bad u right. Regardless, as was said… Still worth it


epitome1986

haha def because even though its only top 2 protected it is still going to be the #30 pick haha.

It’s going to be a tough game . UnIronically, I can picture Williams popping off on us .


GapToothL

25 point double double while going 5/6 wouldn’t surprise me.


CheetahSperm18

Yeah this can easily be a trap game with how close they've been playing other playoff teams as of late.


Kilucard

this aged horribly


Hulabuga420

Game not over big boy


Kilucard

huh

😆😆😆💀


Repulsive_Fortune396

Grant, Bertans and Curry revenge game!?!


Dapper_Dependent8433

lol, curry is out for season..


Repulsive_Fortune396

thats unfortunate to hear, I didn't know as tbh I only watched the 1st 2 Charlotte games post trade deadline


epitome1986

whats crazy is that grant is averaging like 14 a game for the hornets and bertans is averaging like 8-9 points for them. they pretty much took on the mavericks trash ahah.


A_MASSIVE_PERVERT

They gave us DLive and PJail we should be grateful tbh.


T-Revolution

Over/under 10 min of game time before he bows up on one of the Mavs?


Educational-Judge968

Our saviours you mean


National-Stay-6014

Time to turn the tide! Let's conquer those demons and dominate this season


Dat_one_lad

The two biggest player in those 2 games last year were PJ and DSJ, neither of whom are on the team rn


Educational-Judge968

PJ secretly helping us by giving us lively and omax

Diabolic_Bug_Man

Maybe Charlotte was leading us to a treasure they cannot possess . . . A playoff team


johndogerty

Grant Will is averaging 14PPG with them. The best basketball of his career and is arguably Charlotte’s franchise player while LaMelo is out.


ketoburn26

Did Bridges and Miller die?


No_Engineering_4925

He definitely isn’t their best player


johndogerty

Who is then. This is Charlotte we are talking about


No_Engineering_4925

Bridges and miller are waaayy better and even micic is better


_Lucifer7699_

Jordan


Dat_one_lad

Bridges, Miller, Mark (who is injured) are all much better


prudentWindBag

Lol. Strong point!


FriesAddiction

He's been balling for them, his assists and rebounds are very high too. Not sure why he couldn't at least crash the board in Dallas like he does for Hornets.


johndogerty

I think he was just lazy here thought Luka could do everything while he just sat back, now he’s playing with urgency that he’s in the NBA torture chamber (Charlotte) . He also didn’t fit well in J Kidd’s system.


MJP_DragonStorm

Watching Grant play the 5 against top centers like Jokic was wild


Morematthewforu

Kidd has a system? I thought he just watches the games


The_Evil_Satan

He’s just like me fr


Axisofcoolio

He admitted he wasn’t in the best shape to start the season. 


SmellMyDirk

You’re kidding right? Counting stats don’t mean shit. Grant Williams is a severely limited player who will never be a “franchise player”


Dirkisthegoattt41

> and is arguably Charlotte’s franchise player while LaMelo is out. Whoa whoa one too far my guy lol Honestly he’s playing about the same as he did here, just more mins/shots and less pressure.


betweenthebars34

He'd rather get stats on a bad team. He's happy. So it all worked out.


xPeaWhyTee

> He'd rather get stats on a bad team Lol you do know he got traded against his will right?


nchs1120

He immediately talked shit about the Mavs after though. Praised that he was finally on a team with a team mentality


xPeaWhyTee

No he didn't, that was a narrative pushed by certain media members. Go back and watch the full interview he did. It was clear as day he wasn't throwing shade but it kinda looks like it if one just reads a quote.


planoser

He should go play with Kuzma


WaterIsNotWet19

Ready to mix things up with grant


JJJaxMax

Imagine saying this after Brandon millers last run lol


Dapper_Connection526

Eh. Mavs needed to keep losing to get Lively. Even if it was awful for the players involved. If anything, it’ll be a big night for PJ to exorcise his demons from playing there.


knb044000

I don’t know why but I’ve always thought Grant Williams has a punchable face. I’ve thought this from his first interview as a Maverick


Jcarter1632

6'6" about 260 probably. I aint even punching air near that dude...


No_Engineering_4925

Why is there no game day thread in this sub ?


frencbri000

If it wasn't for them we wouldn't have lively


Sdaben10

Those back to back loses were my Armageddon!! I’m glad it’s over now
