Pretty much this. The NBA is about taking gambles. Wembanyama is even a gamble because guys his height historically have chronic foot, knee, etc injuries. The Bucks gambled on Giannis in the late lottery and it paid off. There’s many gambles that don’t. I actually liked the Hornets draft because it looked like they were actually taking risks on high upside guys instead of playing it safe and finding average role players to leech minutes and keep the team in the play-ins. The team needs to be gambling on guys to find stars, it’s not at a point where they need to be looking for high floor role players. The problem is, even if the Hornets make the right picks, chances are the organization will fail to develop them.

2023 Charlotte Hornets Summer League
WUnderhill replied to MillionDollarCam's topic in Charlotte Hornets
Lol not acting like the sky is falling on a prospect after 2 summer league games = defending every bad move of the franchise? And how does anybody’s opinion on this board help or not help? This is some serious clown poo. Some of y’all need to get a grip. What I’m seeing is a very poorly coached squad and some young fat headed hero ballers. The organization desperately needs coaches who can coach and develop players and y’all are focused on whining about the one guy in summer league who’s not a complete dead end on offense. We’re talking about 2 summer league games here…SUMMER LEAGUE…and Miller is leading in assists from the wing lol. Amari Bailey had ZERO assists last game. They are running zero offense and the ball stops at literally everybody but Miller. He’s not perfect but jfc. -
That’s fine we just drafted 2 guards we need to develop. The more decisions out of Clifford’s hands the better just like when we got rid of Plumlee and he was forced to start playing Mark Williams.

ESPN lays off employees, with more cuts to come
WUnderhill replied to ladypanther's topic in Carolina Panthers
Maybe we can hear about something other than the Lakers now. -
Newbie gains…that being said it’s only been a couple weeks since we last saw him I’m sure the camera is adding 10lbs.

Panthers Blueprint Episode 3: Embracing The Future
WUnderhill replied to Mr Mojo Risin's topic in Carolina Panthers
Some of you can’t help but complain about every little thing huh. We get a 45m episode and you really complaining about including 3m of media footage smdh. -
Thought this was a good video with fair analysis of some of Miller’s strengths, as well as things he needs to work on.

People would hate it, but try to sign Bridges to a team friendly longer term deal while his value is low. If Bridges would go for it. If he plays well the team either has a young player on a good contract or an extremely valuable trade asset. That’s the type of thing that can set up long term sustained success. Also the obvious fire Mitch and Cliff for the love of all that is good. But at this point the team has already missed out on several good coaches by dragging their feet.

I think maybe he’s just trolling it makes no sense.
-
I feel like maybe you don’t understand how NBA draft trades work, or maybe even trades in general. First, you need both sides to agree to a trade. It sounds like you think the Hornets can just decide to make a trade without the trade partner’s consent. Two, you don’t take the player and bank on trading him later. You work out the trade beforehand and select for each other. As I’m typing this I feel like I’m pissing into the wind and I’m pretty sure you’re just going to repeat the same thing again so I’m done just be pissed over this nonsense whatever.
-
I’m so confused why you think Portland was offering assets for a pick swap and Charlotte declined. This is so bizarre.
-
Mitch said they had offers. Said something along the lines of they were offered some really good players. If they were going to trade the pick they had the opportunity to trade it pre draft. The Hornets then still make the pick and the trade is announced. Kind of weird to assume a pick swap was on the table with Portland and the Hornets turned it down. That doesn’t make sense. That’s why you’re mad it didn’t happen, because it doesn’t make sense for them to not do it if it’s available. Why would you assume it was available rather than the most likely reason it didn’t happen: it wasn’t available.

Not sure I want a WR who wants a voice in playcalling right now.

Pumpkin patch Mahomes would be a great nickname.

Meanwhile, in Houston, Stroud is still splitting reps and in “open competition” with Davis Mills. So glad we didn’t hire another defensive HC.

Exclusive first look at Panthers updated jerseys
WUnderhill replied to TheSpecialJuan's topic in Carolina Panthers
Wish we would just lean into the black more instead of all this inconsistency with the blue. Our mascot is literally a black cat. -
I knew that would go over somebody’s head, chill. It was a joke in reference to Mitch trading our #13 pick last year for the literal last pick in the first and 4 second round picks, so basically 5 second round picks. If you think my idea was dumb (it is), take it up with Mitch “there’s a limit to how many young players you can bring on a team and expect to make a jump” Kupchak. Clearly the most prudent thing to do is trade a quarter for five pennies because we have so much incredible young talent on this roster. I just want Mitch taking way more heat for this.
-
You don’t hear reports of teams trying to trade up for Wembanyama either. May just mean that the #3 pick is more available than #2.
-
No way. Ingram wouldn’t even see the court with our roster. Much rather throw in some more picks. Something like #2 for #14 and a few second round picks. Mitch would do that trade in a heartbeat.

Butler’s averaging 27pts, 6.6rbs, 5.9ast for the playoffs.
-
Lol dude is averaging like 5ppg in the finals. Teams weren’t guarding him. I guess that’s an improvement over the playoffs last year when teams weren’t guarding him and he was still poo. Credit to Spoelstra and Jimmy Butler for carrying the sisters of the poor to the finals
