WUnderhill

He hasn’t worked out for anybody and only scheduled one work out, which he cancelled (76ers). I’ve heard he doesn’t want to play for certain teams, but I’ve never seen any proof that the Hornets are specifically one of them, just speculation and guesswork. Either way, the Hornets don’t get a pass for trading Kobe just because Kobe wanted to go to a bigger market, and if Ace Bailey turns out to be great they won’t get a pass for passing up on him either, so they should draft him either way.

Fingers crossed for Ace Bailey. Him not doing any workouts could be a huge blessing in disguise for us if he falls out of the top 3. Hope the team doesn’t mess it up.

Pray to god we don’t take the next Jon Scheyer/Kyle Singler/etc. with the #4 overall pick. The league has plenty of mid-athlete 3pt shooters that can’t defend superior athletes, we don’t need to waste a top 5 draft pick on one.

Everything on all sides has been said a thousand times over and engaging with you about it in the past was more pointless than shouting into the wind. I’m good.

I haven’t listened, but based on who is posting this you just know it’s gonna be scratching his anti-Bryce itch. Can’t wait for the season.

ESPN latest mock has Hornets passing up on Ace Bailey to take Kon, and we’d be just dumb enough to do that.

One fumble all year but boy was it a big one.

That is so bad. Even worse, it’s bad and unoriginal. If you need to auto tune a basic ass flow like that then just stop.

Also, I haven’t seen much national media hype for this team so wherever you are seeing all this cause for concern please post links so I can inject all the hopium straight into my brain.

I don’t really believe that what we talk about in the off-season has much to do with what the team does this coming season, but if you did wouldn’t it make more sense to be as hyped as possible? Like if fans were super hyped and excited and felt the team was a real contender to the point of selling out our home games and painting BOA in Panthers blue wouldn’t that help the team, not hurt it? I don’t get the kill the vibe approach and never have.

That’s really not what you said and when I even expressed doubt as to your intentions with the post you doubled down and remained unclear on whether you were trying to drag Dean Smith for whatever reason. You just got the facts wrong, which if you don’t follow the local college programs like you say then maybe you just were mistaken and thought Smith didn’t win championships or have legit superstars, and that is ok, but you just doubled down when my first post was more corrective than anything. I’m not sure what you expect posting objectively false things like “RBA has a lot of wins with nothing to show for it like Dean Smith” (paraphrasing) on a message board with plenty of UNC fans. I’m not taking it as a personal affront, we can agree to disagree, Dean Smith’s legacy fortunately will not be affected by this conversation. Screw the (Florida) Panthers?

Eh, they’re just trying to generate enthusiasm to sell tickets. I think it might be their job or something.

I just think the guy erred a little too hard on the not wanting to look like he was favoring a team he likes. Panthers had the 25th best record last year so they already proved better than 28th, albeit only slightly. And this guy loved our draft, had Tmac as one of only 4 blue chip prospects in the draft, and said in this video that we improved or stayed neutral at every single position group, so I just don’t get the ranking. It really doesn’t matter, it’s just confusing. That said, I do enjoy the depth in the video and having 2hrs of in depth panthers content to look at in the offseason. I wish our local media was better.

Let’s be real, there’s no way the Bengals can trade him for less than first round value from an optics stand point.

They probably saw dudes dad saying they idolize Thanos after he got drafted and were like nahhh idk about all this genocide stuff.

Just thinking about the teams that drafted ahead of us…the Raiders improved a lot by adding Geno Smith and Ashton Jeanty, it’s probably reasonable to expect a big jump from them so I can see that one. But I think he also has the Giants ranked ahead of us? That one doesn’t make much sense to me. I don’t feel like the Jags got a lot better either but seems like every year with Trevor Lawrence they get projected as a playoff team preseason and it doesn’t come to fruition. The Patriots? Don’t get that one and he even has us as an underdog to them I think in week 4. That’s crazy to me. And then there’s teams that finished with better records but downward trajectories like the Colts, Cards, Dolphins. I’m ready to pull this guy’s fan card lol.

But wasn’t that the same thing with Fuller? And he was terrible. I feel like we have brought in a lot of guys because of Evero’s familiarity with them and it hasn’t helped at all. Idk why Evero gets such a pass. The Saints scored on every.single.drive week 1 when we were still healthy and had Brown. The Broncos defense got better after he left. When will he stop getting a pass for “not having players” and start getting hammered for not developing players or getting the best out of the players he has?

To be fair, that commissioners exempt list thing was complete bullshit and seemed to especially screw the Panthers more than anybody else. We had to pay Hardy on the franchise tags for a year to not play. It was completely ridiculous.

Lol tell me that isn’t Jameis Winston’s face.

Well…at least it’s not attempted murder: https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/45503522/ex-wr-antonio-brown-sought-attempted-murder-charge-report-says

For the streets typa. Hope XL ain’t getting too mixed up in that.

Yeah I get some of the frustration with the conference finals record, however there’s also not many coaches consistently getting to the conference finals. If you want to fire Rod you better be able to get a clear upgrade as a replacement and there are so few of those in the world and of those who is available? I think the bigger problem is the back to back mid season trades without having a solid plan in place for retaining those players.

Oh no he benched 18 yr olds sometimes. Not sure what more you would want those stars to do in college, Worthy, Jordan, Jamison all won NPOY. 2 won nattys. And again it was a completely different era than now. Dean Smith was seen as a very progressive and empowering coach for his players at the time. Stars and big time recruits wanted to play for him and benefited from playing for him. Can you be more clear or admit that you were wrong because comparing Dean to Rod just makes no sense with the reasons you’ve given and you just come off as a dook or state fan that wanted to take a shot at Dean Smith for seemingly no reason. And what does And John Wooden mean? He was already a well established coach and starting his run when Dean Smith was just getting started coaching. But hey if your criteria is that a coach is either Wooden and anything less than 10 titles is the same as Rod then you do you.

Huh? Not sure if this is Dean Smith slander or not. MJ loved playing for Dean and won NPOY. And Dean had plenty of stars before him and after him. James Worthy, Vince Carter, Antawn Jamison, etc. Dean won 2 nattys. The college game was different then, Dean had more star power and national championships than basically any of his peers.

Sounded like Morgan wanted to have a hype phone call moment to end the draft and nobody, including Horn, was nearly as interested in making it happen.
