Me turning on the game

I don't know if he has little to no trade value. I'm just not sure he's going to get 10 first round picks or whatever. The Hornets lucked into drafting Lamelo. He just hasn't realized his potential because of injuries and his approach to the game. He has the potential to be like Magic Johnson. I don't think the Hornets will be able to build a winner around Lamelo as he is today. He probably needs to play with a star that can mentor him, if he's got any shot of realizing his potential. At this rate Lamelo will be 30 by the time we luck into another star.

I wouldn't feel bad for Dalton. He dodged a bullet lol.

I'm not really disagreeing. The Lakers changed their minds and were able to undo the trade. That's pretty absurd. In this situation, a 3rd party physician should have given Williams a 2nd physical to confirm if the trade should really be cancelled or not. The only point I was making is that something changed as a result of that exam. I really doubt they changed their minds about Knecht overnight.

Damn if only players could play for 50 years. We could accumulate some real dogs.

The immortal Jim Caldwell

Or maybe their team doctor(s) looked at him and realized he's a ticking time bomb, even though he technically passes a physical today. I do think it's dumb they were able to effectively change their mind on the deal though. It wasn't a mystery he's made of glass.

I think one problem is the league already perceives Lamelo as a traveling parlor trick act. He's probably the most skilled player to ever wear a Hornets uniform, but he doesn't play to win. Even when he plays, the carelessness with the ball and fouls etc. It sucks, but you combine that with the durability issues and I'm not sure he has the type of value Hornets fans would like in return.

He's got some really bad habits that have been positively re-enforced by the fact that its college ball. Many times these desperation plays will work out for him, or not result in a turnover. But that type of stuff in the NFL is suicide. We've all seen it. And habits are hard to break.

Aint nothin "ball control" gunslinger about desperately trying to pitch the ball forward while being sacked.

The man certainly has a knack for finding ways to risk turning the ball over.

I see a lot of similarities with Cam Ward. Even though Cam is a more polished passer coming out of school. Not saying a lot compared to AR, who's maybe the rawest QB prospect drafted that high ever.

So this bump will basically help tank Motons backloaded year in 25? Works for me.

To me it’s not really about Bryce. It’s that Andy is washed and may not even be healthy if he’s needed.

Andy was awful outside of the raiders game. Tell him to retire and hire him as a coach if it’s that important.

I thought Jeanty looked super pedestrian in the playoffs. I honestly wouldn't draft him anywhere in the 1st.

He waited over 10 years to set the record straight and throw his mom under the bus lol.

A welcome change. I'm ready to turn on this guy the moment someone gets hurt.

JJ McCarthy pulled it off. It can be done.

I feel the same. Worst case I’m taking Warren and not feeling bad about it.

It would be ideal if Jaxson Dart could scam some team into thinking he’s worth a top 10 pick.

Our spot could potentially be trade bait for taking Tyler Warren. He’s mocked around where we pick or slightly after. A team may want to leap frog the Saints to get him.

If there’s not much difference in moving back a couple spots, finding a good offer might be an issue.

100%. You have to play the cards that are dealt. Not the cards you wish were dealt.

Only way it happens is if there’s a trade back to get an extra 2nd
