It appears we were the only one interested so it seems high to me. 

There were multiple teams interested, but hes RFA and we were likely going to match any non ridiculous offer.

We cannot absolve Fitterer of that he was very vocal about Corral being part of our future on draft night.

Can't keep blaming Rhule for everything.

Every GM says that about every draft pick they make lol

You dont draft someone then say "Yeah im not too high on this guy going forward"

I love hearing Duce and Bell go at each other every time they get a chance

To be fair I like Borrego better than Clifford, not that Borrego was a great option either. fug that Warriors dude for reneging on our deal. 

Team actually plays defense under Clifford though

In what Steve Cliffordless world are you living?  This team will struggle to win 30 games. 

A less talented version of this team won 43 games and was in 4th place before injuries derailed the season.

Glad to see you're back to making terrible threads

The problem with Wemby is he can't bulk up or he highly increases the chance of season-ending injuries. 7'3" frame can't support being bulky.  He has great passing and Iso plays but I think he will get bullied under the rim in the NBA.

He got bullied under the rim by Brandon Miller who people on here say is too small right now lmao

He looked like a 12 year old boy standing next to Nnaji, who by the way is no way in hell this dude is 18

And despite all of that, would still be one of the better bigs we have ever had wear a uniform since getting a team back.

He's not even better than a Plumlee and yall wanted him booted out of the city

Winning will bring it back to life, nothing else

This is a bandwagon city fans will show up if the team is winning, they wont if they arent.

He's a 3 point shooter that cant shoot 3s, too small to play inside on offense, has zero effort on court when it comes to defense and is rumored to basically not listen to his coaches.

How about we don't

Miller is a better passer, is more athletic and has better defensive intensity than I saw any media coverage bring up of him.

Cheap?  There is a difference between being cheap and being prudent.  Not signing a player that's led you to the playoffs and performed well once there would be cheap.  Not signing a guy who has ultimately had zero impact on your win loss column for 260 mill would be prudent.

We had a winning record in his 2nd year as the best player on the team

???? What are you even talking about.

Firing another coach after 1 year definitely isnt the call. We already have a hard enough time finding someone to coach this team, maybe we shouldnt fire every single coach after a bad season that was mostly out of his control.

Hopefully we have someone that can be a decent facilitator for the offense this year or its just gonna be another summer league full of Bouknight ISO ball

He’s trying to get the supermax next he’s not going anywhere

This is the super max, if he makes the All NBA team next year its a supermax, if not its just a regular max contract for around $200M

yeah I think this is incase someone comes in and snipes PJ away with a crazy offer, which I dont think will happen but its nice that they have a backup plan in case lol

That's crazy. Hornets are the best at handing out ridiculous contracts and crippling themselves

This is a max contract, it has nothing to do with the Hornets

Two years from now, a starting lineup of Ball - Miller - Bridges - Washington - Williams could be very good.

We can win 45 games this year if the Roster buys into defense the way they finished last season.

Loved Robinson telling Evero that there's not 144 players better than him, that type of confidence is needed in our secondary.

That has shifted my view a bit.

If it's been provable that he was already on his way and didn't even know the gun was in his car, that goes a long way...

The cops have dash cam footage of him in his car on his way before the call about the gun is even made.

Still an awful roster

We won 43 games with a worse version of this roster before last season.

Mark Williams instantly makes this roster better than the 21-22 version of it

The victim complex fans of teams in this area have is just absolutely insane.

I have no issue with Berhalter and I hope he gets the time to finish building what he started.

Agree to disagree but I don't trust Melo to stay healthy anymore and my plan is is make the combo in the backcourt of Melo and Scoot work and if Melo can't play we got a backup plan. 

I already think Scoot is the better prospect at 2 but this reason also factors into why I want Scoot more.

Say we draft Scoot.

 

Do we put him at pg and move Melo to sg or vice versa? 

 

 

You dont really need to designate one a point guard and one the shooting guard, just run 2 guards that can handle the ball and adapt based on how people play us. Have Scoot guard the more dangerous guard on the other team. I think Melo will greatly benefit having a guy next to him that can handle and drive as well as Scoot does.
