Honestly, just watching Mann...

Kupchak took Presti to the cleaners, and Real GM treats the OKC GM like some sacred cow.

And don't you think it would've felt fishy to Presti if the voice on the other line of the GM was not Mitch or if Mitch immediately transferred the call to a consultant?

Imagine the mental gymnastics some most perform to deny the outgoing GM schooled Presti the golden child. Must've been some obscure unnamed consultants that took it to Presti, which is an even bigger blow to their logic.

However it all went down, we finally scored major value. Mann is a young talented player, who may have just needed the opportunity. My gosh, if he blooms here into a starter from that trade…RECORD FLEECE!
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

Hugo the Hornet is the man, he just hit a halfcourt shot facing back to the basket.

There he is again, that Tre Mann. Step back threes, rebounds with the trees, ballhandling and diming with ease.

Mann is a solid player.

We really made some nice trades at the deadline. Team looks so much better.

I see no reason he couldn't start next to LaMelo next season. Looks better than the player he'd be replacing.

Jalen Johnson just whisked away Richards who frankly does a little too much standing around for my taste. Should be dominating these team.

I hope we see more Grant Williams and less Nick Richards from this point forward, especially when the opponent is thin at the center position.

Grant Williams hustle!

Atlanta are just chucking up garbage offensively, Trae Young being the biggest offender.

16 point lead, blouses.

Quinn Snyder just an overpaid name.

Funny Eric Collins asked Del how many times he needs to watch a shooter shoot to know he's a good shooter. Curry said, "2 shots".

Seth is deadly. The influx of shotmaking must feel insurmountable for teams facing the Hornets when you could ignore Thor, Ish, Bryce, and they often shared the floor together and/or in combination with Nick.

I don't put a ton in this stat but sometimes it appears to paint a picture that aligns with reality. Brandon Miller leads the Hornets in minutes AND he leads the Hornets in +/- tonight.

Trae Young is having a meltdown tonight. He's been awful. Chucking, cheap fouls and turning over the ball carelessly.

Miller's footwork out of the jump stop is beautiful.

Nick with the obligatory moving screen to steal a 3 pointer away from a teammate. This case, Mann. Now he commits a goaltend.

Did someone activate God mode on this team after the trade deadline. I'm loving it!

That fake-and-take by Micic with that finish is one of the most amazing basketball plays I've ever seen.
