I'm on Twitter at Walker mail and you Can see me with my fishing lure ready to Go just like Jake we're going fishing Baby it's the trade deadline and for Those that don't know the bit because Last year Doug I I don't think it's Exaggerating to say that Jake Fisher Really broke onto the scene man like Last year especially with the Hornets He's he's tapped in to the old Hornets Organization lots of rumors swirling About Charlotte and he is the guy that Is constantly putting little rumors out There or little lures out there to bait You oh yeah and so we Bloomers dressed For the occasion and then after the Trade deadline we'll maybe hear some Buyout Market stuff from Jake Fisher but This this is the theme of the show today Because we have a couple of Juicy Stories we've got a couple of Juicy ones So let's start with the first one from Jake wait hold on hold on hold on I Haven't done the thing I gotta do if We're gonna do the bits which is it's Not much of a bit it's just a playoff of Jake Fisher's name but we got to do the The Sounder which is I don't even have It plugged into the sound box yet it's Just me doing it here we go we're going Fishing oh we got a big one All right go ahead and you and you guys Can decide just how big this story is so Jake Fisher yesterday we'll go to a
Couple of them here first segment will Involve Terry Rozier so Terry rozier's Name has been mentioned in various Concepts this all according to Jake Fisher particularly with the Lakers and The Timberwolves and hornets forward PJ Washington has uh has his share of Interested teams as well such as the Miami Heat sources said after Charlotte Did not find an extension for the 24 Year old last fall however the Hornets Have been averse to significant Mid-season deals in recent Seasons all Right let's tackle that real quick or Tackle box that man I was going for it You know what you lay it up for me you You took that you were in transition you Didn't have to be serious guy all the Time let me get The Tackle Box Jack it's Fine but we were in transition I was you Were Jalen McDaniels there we were in Transition I was wide open and you Decided to get selfish and try to finish It yourself and you blew the layup wow I Think I nailed it that was really Insulting um I will pass it on to you Then anyway so Terry Rozier let's start With Terry first Lakers we already knew About Timberwolves a little interesting Minnesota is involved and I'm not sure How much it makes sense what do you Think Doug What makes sense from the perspective
That we've been talking about a lot Around this trade deadline which is There are a lot of teams in the NBA this Season that think that they can get Either Propel themselves Closer to Championship contention or More importantly there are a lot of Teams that think they can get themselves Back into the hunt and I think that's Where you would slot the Minnesota Timberwolves who have struggled at times This season even though they traded for Rudy gobert they thought that was going To solve all their problems it hasn't uh D'Angelo Russell's in the last year of His deal so they may be looking for a Longer term scoring punch to put Alongside Anthony Edwards who has had His share of struggles he didn't make The All-Star team and seem to sort of Say yeah I I didn't deserve to make the All-Star team I didn't play well to Start the season so yeah I mean they They've got some issues scoring I think They could use a guy like Terry Rozier The question would be yeah I think it Would be a similar situation to the Lakers and that you would be targeting Probably D'Angelo Russell like the guy On the expiring contract that's making 31 million I don't know how you make all Those numbers right but to me That that seems like it would make the Most sense well yeah so the D'Angelo
Russell part of this is fascinating Because that's the name you're Immediately drawn to right with the Money but you got to include something If you're Charlotte so I don't know if I Mean Mason Plumley has become somewhat Valuable of his own if there are other Teams out there we'll get to him in the Next segment but if you included Terry Rozier Kelly oubre that would put you at About 32 million and D'Angelo is making I'm trying to pull up Timber boy at 31.31 million right yeah yep so so with Those two guys and and you could salary Match pretty easily It's all about if if the Timberwolves Want to do something similar at a lesser Price for a longer term because it's Crazy D'Angelo is having the best Shooting season he's ever had with Minnesota like if you look at what he's Done over his career he's never shot Over 43 percent basically from the field And he never shot over 36 oh and that's Not true he shot 38 a couple of years Ago but he's shooting 39 from Three-point range right now Um and he's done that in 54 games so He's shooting better do you want to ride It out in what is obviously a playoff Goal-oriented season with D'Angelo or do You want to lock in Terry long term at a Smaller contract but also can provide Some similar things even with him being
Older yeah D'Angelo is kind of an Interesting one there if you would be Bringing him back Um yeah what would you is what would you Look at this payroll and say okay yeah This is what I'd be trying to negotiate If I Mitch cup check how about Rudy Gobert I need one more chance to go bear What do you think 50 wins is that out of The cards this season I think that's Officially mathematically impossible for For the Charlotte Hornets uh I'm kidding I don't think there wouldn't be worth Four first round picks anymore you could Get them at a lower price that's Significant a significant discount no They they wouldn't be able to do that You know the Lakers I want to talk about The Lakers a little later in the show When we talk about LeBron James because I I still think that Rozier to the Lakers makes the most sense it makes More sense than this Timberwolves but Any kind I'm sure teams are playing Teams off of one another you know I Think Rozier with his contract number Could is still valuable as a player that You could involve in like a three or Four team sort of Mega deal that moves Multiple pieces around like I don't I Don't see Terry Rozier I'm gonna make a Prediction here that it is probably Going to be wrong but I I don't see Terry Rozier in just like a straight up
Terry Rozier 4A player kind of trade I Really think it's going to be more Complicated sure Well yeah and that's what the odds are It's just the Lakers and the Timberwolves they both have contracts That would allow you to match Big Contracts right where you're willing to Get off of them Russell Westbrook in L.A And it's also DeAngelo Russell in Minnesota and so they just kind of Um they're in that same category but I Agree with you I mean Lakers clearly That's the answer right we'll talk a Little bit more about LeBron James a Little bit later on in the show but LeBron scores 36 points has the all-time Scoring record does it on 18 shots oh Yeah and then they lose to the Oklahoma City Thunder so even it's not like LeBron what was out here crazy shot Hunting yes he was aggressive but he he Scored 36 on 18 shots I mean it was it Was totally all things to help you win In that performance and yet they still Lose to OKC because they were giving up A million three-pointers to Isaiah Joe And everybody else in a Oklahoma City Uniform You can't shot hunt on a team that can't Make shots like it's improv you can't Like you're the only guy that can make Shots you can't shot hunt you're not Going to qualify as a shot Hunter but
Yeah I mean this Fisher stuff is Interesting I think more interesting Than the Terry Rozier stuff though is The PJ Washington information yeah that That he drops in here so so let's get to It P this is not the first time we have Seen Miami interested in PJ we went Through this thing last year and we Thought maybe PJ Washington could be Traded to Miami but eventually there's Never a deal done shocker with Mitch cup Check here in Charlotte in the middle of The season and so PJ comes back there's Not any kind of contract extension for Him and I remember I remember asking him In off-season media availability I asked Him about PJ what the future plans were So he was committed to giving miles Bridges a long-term contract he he Actually literally said as much Um before he was arrested for felony Domestic violence so miles was was Already they were vocal about him Sticking around Mitch cupcak did not Want to touch the PJ Washington contract Conversation he was not committed to That but now the rumors are that they Kind of do want to bring back PJ what What kind of deal would you like to see Um with Miami in exchange for P.J Washington sending him out uh to uh to The heat yeah to to a division rival so You know you want to be careful about Trading with a division rival and and
Making sure that you get maximum return I mean there are a couple of names that Are interesting I think probably you Know you're going to be looking maybe For I mean I think you would have to Look for some kind of pit compensation To go along with it as well because I Think PJ is probably going to be the Most talented player in the deal uh but They may be willing to move off of Ola Depot's contract if now we know the Hornets are most likely not going to Take back bad money if you consider a 9 Million dollar player option next year For Ola Depot bad money which maybe they Do they also have this guy named Caleb Martin on the team game Which is a funny idea to me that like Pat Riley would call up Mitch cup Jack And be like hey Mitchy I hear you're Down uh I hear you're down to Martin Good news I've got one And it looks just like yours yes it's The same it's except except healthier This is this one's actually a little Healthy I could say on the court so yes Could we become fully martinized again With a potential trade with P day Washington they beat them you want more Than that back obviously like Caleb Martin has played well this season for Miami but you'd want more than that back From a PJ deal I think What's going to stop the PJ Washington
Deals from happening I think there's Going to be a disconnect between what Charlotte wants for PJ and what teams Are really willing to give up I don't Know that they're going to make that Connection before Charlotte's forced to Make the decision whether or not they Actually want to keep PJ or not well and I'm looking up their picks right now I When it comes to Future picks it's Really hard to keep track but as of Right now so I don't think they have a First round pick or a second round pick This year because remember this is a Team that constantly trades and goes Star Fishing so when you're talking About Miami none this season one in 2024 And then you're talking about no second Round picks in 25 or 26 and they only Have one first round pick in 25 and 26. It's not like they have a million assets Are they willing to give up a first Rounder when they don't have much to get PJ because it's it's not like there's a Ton attractive that the heat would be Willing to give up to show Charlotte It's it's tough for Miami to negotiate a Ton of deals out there anyway right Because Kyle Lowry is the contract they Want to shed Duncan Robinson is a Contract they want to shed if the Hornets are going to be hesitant to take Back bad money then it's going to be Tough for Charlotte or Miami to deal
What with this kind of uh with this kind Of trade so we'll see what happens There's PJ Washington and Terry Rozier But there's a couple other other guys That we have not named yet coming up Next on the lockdown Hornets podcast Don't go to sleep on the Hornets just Yet that's right we're not done we have Patience we're going round two to the Fishing hole and we'll talk a little bit More about Mason Plumley this time this Episode is brought to you by LinkedIn as A small business owner or hiring manager You know that success in 2023 all Depends on the team members you surround Yourself with that's why you have to Check out LinkedIn jobs with LinkedIn Jobs you can hire qualified candidates More efficiently by matching open roles With people who have the skills values And experiences to help you achieve your Goals LinkedIn jobs helps you quickly Attract qualified candidates to your Open jobs with targeting tools that go Beyond resume data by using insights From your job Post company and their 875 Million member profiles to put your post In front of the most qualified Candidates identify the most qualified Candidates on LinkedIn jobs and connect With them fast and for free again LinkedIn jobs helps you find the Qualified candidates you want to talk to Faster most your job for free at

Here Veteran Center this is according to Jake Fisher Veteran Center Mason Plumley Projects as The Hornet's most likely Trade candidate Plumley is the final Seat in the final season of a three-year Contract making eight and a half million Dollars this year Sacramento continues To be the team most often connected to Plumley by League Personnel the Kings Have made every Reserve excuse me the Kings have made Reserve Center Rashawn Holmes yes the Rashawn Holmes that They've coveted for quite some time for Sean Holmes available for trade sources Told Yahoo sports and Charlotte had Interest in homes during the 2021 Offseason before the Hornets acquired Plumley from the Pistons in a draft Night trade okay so interesting stuff to Pack unpack here because Mason the fact That the Kings want our Center so badly That the roles have completely reversed How the turntables have changed correct So now they want Mason we had interest In Rashawn Holmes he would always be Mentioned in these rumors and then after Getting at the time what seemed like a Very team Fair Deal Now Rashawn Holmes is I mean out of the I know he comes back in the rotation Every now and then but clearly they've Leaned on sabonis who was an All-Star so Doug it looks like Rashawn Holmes could Be coming home and you know by the end
Of all of this anyway Yeah I don't know I mean it's it's going To be interesting because first of all I'm just learning that Mason Plumley is Making eight and a half million dollars This season he's played so well that I Really thought he made 12 million Dollars I had it he's played so well That's the other unguaranteed not I know I know I got him confused with Kelly but That's what I'm saying he's played so Well that I gave him an extra three and A half million dollars on his contract Sure he would welcome that so yeah I Mean again I'm gonna say this would need To come with some draft compensation you Can't do this you could do this deal Straight up it works money-wise but I Think you'd have to ask Sacramento a Team that right now feels like their Playoff window has all of a sudden Opened they feel like they can compete And they're going to be a little bit More desperate than some other teams to Just roll into the the playoffs with the Roster that they have because they're They're smart enough I think to know That the playoffs are way different and You need to load up because other teams Are going to load up so I think you can Use that to do something that we've Speculated about that others have Speculated about that may seem crazy but Could they wiggle out a Sacramento Kings
First round pick in the future for Mason Plumley and Rashawn Holmes because if They can then I'm all about this deal But a straight up deal for Rashaan Holmes which you know I guess would have Maybe some value as an expiring contract Soon but otherwise he's a Reserve Center For a reason you know I mean he he Hasn't been able to crack that rotation It's a huge surprise but um you have to Wonder what that means and you know can You play I don't know that you could Really play him alongside a couple of Other centers that you're looking to Develop in Mark Williams and and Nick Riches you already have a backlog there So yeah it would allow you to to I don't Know it allow you to go small I guess if You wanted P.J Washington to play more Of the four or you know have have some Foreign he's gone Ppj yeah that's true Um yeah but but you're right like I I I Don't know if Holmes would be the guy And look this is someone that I thought The Hornet should have taken a chance on And I understood that the way that Rashawn Holmes made his money in this League was because he was athletic and He's 29 years old as he gets older past 30 you you realize the the way he was Able to make his money they were going To deteriorate a little faster because He is shorter and so I always thought it
Was a risk but that hit a lot harder This season for Sacramento and you you Mentioned the contract it's not even Expiring all that quickly after this Season you have two more years because You expect him to opt into that player Option that he has and so you're not Even really seeing the end very close Um with his contract until a couple more Seasons after that so my daddy would opt In in Sacramento I don't I don't think I don't think he Loves playing there right now no no that That's true Um but yeah so it would be kind of hard So I'm not sure how you could get this Deal done because Um you know if you want if you would Even want to get this deal done because I think there's a real possibility that Sacramento waves Rashawn Holmes in the Future so if you're like super Interested in having Rashawn Holmes then I think if you just wait a little bit Sacramento is going to make your wish Come true if you want to compete on the Waiver market for him and and they're They're trying right now this is I love This around the trade deadline when Teams are like no no no no we would Never waive that player and it's like Nobody's buying it you're not playing The guy you spend some money and it's Buyer's remorse we all get it and you're
Going to waive him so the Hornet Shouldn't buy into that and if they Really want homes and and Sacramento is Not willing to give up a pick then I Don't think you have to do this deal Because again what's the incentive for Charlotte Mason Plumley he he's on an Expiring contract if Mason Plumley were Here on like a two or three year deal if That those were the years remaining then I could I could see an argument there But no I I would need draft compensation For that to make sense to me yeah There's there's not anything else that Makes sense everybody else is too vital To their team to give up for Mason right I mean they could shoot up but I don't Know if they're really shooting up like That if they're trying to acquire unless I mean I don't know about I mean it's Tough like Harrison Barnes uh is on an Expiring deal too essential too Essential yeah I think so no and I I Understand because I thought his name Too but when you're talking about Harrison this has been a guy that They've always tried to tried to trade As well right like Harrison has been Linked quite a bit and sending to a Different franchise and then here he is Just keeps chugging along with Sacramento and being pretty good right I Mean you're not asking him to be the Number one option or the number two
Option anymore even coming off of the Bench Malik has been an offensive scorer For you oh no there's a name there's a Name a league monkey's been playing well What do you think you think he would Want to come to Charlotte play for Steve Clifford again you think that would work Out they made up remember when they Played Sacramento the horn is dead Malik Said to Steve hey you're right I know What it's like to be a pro now so yes Absolutely bring back Malik monk baby You know it would be interesting it Would be super interesting it'd be a lot Of fun I'd go fishing from a leak monk All day I think there is a monk fish by The way we can look at we can get our Research team I think you're right um All right let's go to the third segment We'll look up the monkfish but we'll Also talk about something else coming up Next on the lockdown Hornets podcast Don't go to sleep on the Hornets just Yet maybe try to get to a question from Our listeners and then of course we will Talk about LeBron James setting the All-time scoring record in the NBA cool To see something historic happen last Night that is if you stayed up if not We'll tell you all about it this episode Is brought to you by FanDuel this year The only app you need at your Super Bowl Uh party is FanDuel America's number one Sports book we're really excited about

Watch it live unfortunately uh the Circle we're catching the wife and I are Catching up on the circle producer Katie And I are catching up on the circle uh Which was I honestly I think a little Bit more intense than than what was Happening there uh against OKC Um it was pretty fun I don't know it was The energy in the building as strong Watching the circle as it was in Crypto.com whatever it is Arena Yeah I don't know I mean you know the Thing with the LeBron James scoring Record is that he didn't do it in a win You know and that's what disappoints me Most like do it in a win and then once You do it in a win it doesn't count to Me until he does it in a win and then You got to do it in the playoffs okay if You don't do it in the playoffs then What are we really talking about here But you know right but you know if he Does it in the playoffs it doesn't count It has to be in the regular season these Are all right that's fine it doesn't Count until the Lakers get a win and by When I mean win a championship fair Enough oh man so he's got to get a fifth Championship in order to have this All-time scoring record that's fantastic I don't quite view it that way I'm sure A lot of other people do no man I so I Did stay up and it's funny because I've Been trying to go to bed a lot earlier
I'm a night owl I stay up pretty late And I've been trying to go to bed Earlier and Um that did not happen last night Because I did want to see LeBron make History and so yeah I put that out there On Twitter there's a lot of people Sharing LeBron stories watching him from The the beginning to what he was able to Accomplish last night so yeah I I took a Trip across the country and then yeah we Stopped at a hotel in good old Reno Nevada claims to be the biggest little Town in America and when we stopped There I wanted to make sure that I was Able to watch LeBron James make that Debut against the Kings and he was Playing with big Z's adjourna selkauskas He was playing with former Hornet Ricky Davis and when LeBron was drafted Ricky Davis said I'm just glad we're getting Somebody else to help me score that's What it makes that comment I didn't Realize it could be better but it got Better after last night so yeah getting Getting to see LeBron hit that first Jump shot against Sacramento To have the Breakaway opportunity and Then give that up to Ricky Davis on the Debut and then getting to see him hit That fade away with Thomas Bryant Calling for it in the post by the way But LeBron James hit that fade away and Just nothing but net it was awesome it's
It it's getting to see what other People's Kareem was it's getting to see What other people's MJ was because I I Did not get to watch Michael in his Pride you know I was I was five years Old six years old when he hung it up the First time I got to see wizards Michael Jordan but that's not the same a lot of People like to forget that era so this Was that for me Kobe right Kobe was kind Of that but I didn't get to really Remember him play at the very beginning Of his career I got to see LeBron right From the get-go somebody with that much Hype and it's really cool I mean here I Am doing a podcast about basketball here I am making a living by getting to talk About that stuff and so wow making it About you yeah LeBron's scoring record Is definitely about you it is it is and It's because of that and I want to you Yes thank you LeBron that's what I Wanted to do I wanted to thank LeBron no Man it was awesome I'm glad we got to Watch History last night No it's it's super cool I mean it's it's One of the first play like I watched the Hornets growing up as a kid and so you Know I did I did see Jordan in his prime And I did see Jordan destroy the Hornets In his prime and so that right that Scarred me a little bit to be fair I got To see MJ destroy the Hornets with Washington so I did get to see that yeah
LeBron was the first superstar that I Remember watching as a study as someone That studied the game and what's a Transition from like being a fan to Really trying to understand the game he Was the first superstar that I went oh Oh okay the you know this person is Dominating in a way that that I don't Recall uh seeing since Michael Jordan uh So yeah it was it was you know it's a Super cool accomplishment for him to do It especially Yeah I think a lot of people will look At the late the way the Lakers are Playing this season and and they'll Blame LeBron James for a lot of what's Happened there in Los Angeles and a lot Of the struggles that they've had in Terms of legium and that kind of thing But I think it's honestly admirable to Break the scoring record when really Every team knows that you're the only Scoring option on that team you know uh The the the true scoring option on that Team uh and and they can really try to Stop you and and know that if they if They even slow you down that they're Going to have a great chance to win the Game and yet you know he's still out There out running and out jumping 20 Year olds um it's it's super crazy to Watch Testament to his uh sort of Regiment and everything I'm surprised he Didn't do it again Charlotte honestly I
