Would not totally be against this, especially if we use an MLE on a decent shooter in free agency. It is hard to argue with Oubre's physical ability and potential, however he does seem like a guy who will need to work on his game substantially.

I'm really hoping there is some chance we can move up in this draft to get a premium talent. There is a chance Okafor could slide to 4...I would move up to get him if the price is right.

Congratulations to GS. Like Kerr said, part of winning a championship is luck with health. That is just part of the big picture of course, but big enough for him to mention on national television in his first post game interview.

​Not that simple pal.

​If the player willfully takes a step back, then that becomes the line of scrimmage. Forward progress only works when forced backward by an opposing player. However, no matter how you slice it, you can't throw a forward pass unless you are on offense behind the original line of scrimmage.

​New to the game?

Top 5 is where you want to be in this draft. I don't see a way we get there without giving up at least a future first, and knowing us...that pick would be a lottery selection.

​I'm not one of these people, but the reason is obvious. Winning fixes everything. There is much more to a player than his FG percentage.

That Cleveland team was something else. Hard not to root for them, at least in this game. They wanted this game more than GS and they deserve this win.

​This is true. What Curry had going for him is that he succeeded when many doubted his ability to perform in the NBA. That gives him a hate pass. Literally everyone expected Lebron to go HAM in the league, so people get jealous and pitch a fit and try to bring him down. Then there is the "He isn't better than Jordan so he sucks" crowd that operates on solid logic... *rolls eyes*

​I'll take anyone else...thanks...

​That is just blind Lebron hate. I understand not liking the man, but to say you would take 50+ players over a player that has been the best player in the world in his generation is ludicrous.

​Exaggerate much? 50? The mental midget in this conversation surely is not Lebron...

People get butthurt because their team sucks, myself included... It is that simple.

Since when is poo a bad thing? I know making one is like hitting the reset button on the day.

This prick badgered Manziel almost a dozen times, then reportedly grabbed him. Who knows what else this guy said that might not have made the press. Most people would have lost their temper in this situation. Let's not allow media to make more money off BS like this. They love ripping this kid a new one every time they get a chance. He has sought help for a drinking problem and I for one hope he rebounds from it. He is a young man in a high profile position with a lot of pressure on him. Sure he is a millionaire, but I still feel for him and hope he makes a good life for himself aside from money.

​Bout died the first time I saw this.

​Two things: 1. You brought up Steph Curry in this thread, so why are you surprised when people comment on that...in a Carolina Sports forum...where there are many Hornets fans... 2. Your Golden State homerism is obnoxious and what makes it worse is that you get off on the fact that our areas best talent was drafted by your team. You and yours posting Golden State threads in the "Charlotte Hornets" forum is borderline troll behavior, which I find odd coming from a mod. The messed up part is that I really enjoy most of your posts, but the Golden State stuff makes me cringe, especially the "stir the pot" posts about Curry. We get it, your team is great; they are having a wonderful year: but at this point, although I would love Curry to come to the Hornets, I would rather just see him on any other team than Golden State, if not for any other reason than to reduce the bandwagon Golden State crap on these forums. Cheers.

Honestly, no matter how football smart they say this kid is, I can't get over the fact that he just makes dumb decisions. Now many of us did the same at his age for sure, but most of us didn't become multimillionaires, potentially opening up many new opportunities to get in trouble. Additionally, he has a solid arm but nothing special, a "Byron Leftwich" release, and his most recent season produced a 4/3 TD to INT ratio in a less than stellar conference. All this adds up to "overrated" in my book. I know they had to take a QB because the media said so and that's what the fans wanted, but I'm glad they didn't take the real BPA in Leonard Williams.

​That's a lot of money to spend on someone who can't play LT...

​Haha, that is true. I'm getting pumped about our receivers...but there is only one football to go around.

Depends on your definition of "athleticism". IMO skill should not be mentioned. Focus on physical traits: size, strength, agility, accel, top line speed, leaping ability. Lebron is hard to beat. However what about a young Shaq? Now there is a player I don't think we see again. In his early years and his prime, we saw a guy would could run the floor with unique agility and play with power, while being 7'1" and between 300-330 pounds. How incredible was that?

Honestly this thread should have been closed after the first reply.

He is one of the hardest players to tackle in the league. He never goes down on first contact. His only problem is, like Dan Morgan, he goes hard every second and this leads to injury.
