I see a bunch of dogshit, and some good pieces who need a good coaching fit to maximize. That good coaching fit is not here at present.

I hope that Miller will be better than MKG and, objectively, I think he will be. But if it's not by much, ooh wee mayne

Mitch is also senile, so that's worth considering. Miller's fans have more pre-made excuses than MKG's fans had in 2012. New franchise record!

I didn’t complain about trading Duren. You have me confused with someone else.

Bro, you need to learn to read. I defended Mark Williams relentlessly last year

What?

I have the bar set HILARIOUSLY low for this franchise, and they still don't come close to reaching it. Most any pro sports team in North America could meet these objectives while still tanking 2 out of every 3 years: 1) Draft BPA unless you're a perennial title contender (lol) 2) Do not draft/sign murderers/accomplices/wife-beaters/scrappy UNC sixth men who wouldn't get a contract elsewhere 3) Invest more than $30 in your coaching staff and hire people whose philosophies aren't linked to Hank Iba 4) Make the playoffs once every 3 years

I appreciate your optimism and wish I could partake as well. I find that draft choice indefensible.

The Hornets are major offenders (pun intended) of the NBA's biggest problem: the players run the league and set the rules. Haven't been this uninterested in what they do since I was like 4. Between no defense, players running the league, a star player going on a serial killing spree could make him sit for as many as 14 games, shooting 70 3s a game and the Charlotte Hornets reimagining themselves as the Trade Street Bloods, there's not much to keep me invested.

Mods, can we combine all these into one "Hornets Crime Thread" discussion? That way you can get Miles, Miller, Bouknight and whichever player gets booked next. Maybe Hugo can wear an orange jumpsuit this season. He looked stoked about the Miller pick last night.

The fact there's a thread called "Miller's Gun Case" for a guy who was just drafted, wrongly, at No. 2, really says it all

Can't wait for MJ to be done with having any power, so his annual Graduation Presents can finally cease

F-minus isn't a bad enough grade on this

Probably because it has been suggested — in this thread.

I’m not singling you out as much as it may seem, bc you’re definitely not the biggest offender. I just tire of being like “oh hell, big news!” Then I click on it, and it’s an open-ended question.

I’m talking about the headline being misleading, not the post. Like, it’s the same as if I titled a thread “Brian Burns Gets Contract Extension,” then posted “When do you guys think that will happen?”

Btw these thread titles are misleading as hell. They make people click because you think it’s news, then it’s just speculation. Can they not be titled like “any stadium name update?”

I'd rather go for that DJ Moore guy, you know, the one who only Panthers fans think is a mid-tier WR2

Greg Olsen softened that blow. Don’t see an Olsen type on the roster.

The WR corps as a whole is a bit better than last year, but lacking a star No. 1 WR will become very apparent very quickly.

He turned $275 million into $3 billion and he still has a stake

A lot of good stuff here

Baker Midfield

Jackson's at least put up some respectable (mostly full) seasons, even though his ceiling is below Horn's
