I know we can't change it anyways but I was super excited when we offered a max to GH. I

knew his game and thought it played in perfect.

PPG RPG APG

19.2 6.6 5.6

That stat like looks pretty damn nice

I'm not gonna say I'm against lance but up to this point he's really disappointed not only me but the fanbase. Atleast scoring wise.

PPG RPG APG

6.6 10.0 5.6

Now those assists and rebound numbers are pretty damn great for a sg but those ppg are not cool.

So would Gordon Hayward fit this team better. Would we be better off. I'm Not ready to say we are. But I wished we coulda got Hayward. But I think lance can start scoring more we will be pretty great. But what's your thoughts

They both fit fine. Lance has never played with a big guy like Al or a guard like Kemba, so we have 3 guys who need to touch the ball to be effective so it will take some time for them to sort out the best way to play off each other. I like Hayward but I love Lance's relentless approach to the game. Lance is not & may never be a 20 plus scorer .

watching the game, lance is having a large impact regardless of his turnovers and poor shooting, which will improve once he gets used to the system and his new teammates.

 

he is going hard on the defensive side and provides an energy this team needs. could you say the same about hayward? i was under the impression he is offensive minded. the hornets need to stay with their defensive strength imo. we can stretch the floor with out PG and bench SG play.

I like Lance a lot. He is just trying to figure out how to fit in this offense and sometimes he tries to do a bit too much.

As long as he doesn't pout when he makes a mistake or doesn't get a call on offense I have no problems with how he is playing.

His efficiency will go up, he just has to figure it out

IMO we tried to sign Hayward to such a large contract bc we knew he would fit in very well with his outside shooting. So far this season, albeit a small sample size, Lance has not shown his outside touch. I feel like he does good driving but his outside shot is not been on target yet. 

 

Now I am happy with Lance and think he will continue to improve as the season goes along. I also believe we would have had growing pains with Hayward but overall to answer the question I still would have preferred Hayward but Im still very happy with Lance and he does have a larger upside.

QUIT!!!!!

Just fuggn QUIT!

I knew this was going to be brought up today. QUIT!

Literally the only one that added nothing. Just non sense.

It's something to talk about. And considering he was our first choice it is nice to discuss. Bc personal I was super pumped to have a chance at both.

And yes Hayward hit a game winning shot. That's not why I made this. But it did remind me we could have had him.

So instead of discounting everyone and Kemba. Why don't u get off your high horse and try to be slightly tolerable. K thanks

We might be able to have Curry in a couple years too.

Both have similar skills as far as ability to run the offense but Hayward would spread the floor more & open things up for Al & Kemba while Lance strength is his ability to get into the paint & create shots for his teamates. Neal,Roberts,Hairston,Zeller & Williams can stretch the floor.

It's five games.

Hayward looks good right now but that contract is going to hurt Utah in the long run. At the end of the day that core they are giving extensions to probably won't make the playoffs in the really good West, and I don't know if Haywards potential ceiling justifies that deal.

They are two different players and even though he hasn't found his shot yet Lance is still bringing alot to the table, a la MKG before this year. The financial flexibility the Hornets still have going forward IMO is so much better now.

Remember, you have to consider it's not just about Hayward vs. Stephenson. It's about Hayward vs. Stephenson with Hayward at almost twice the contract Stephenson has.

      Games been a snooze fest of sloppy play

      The Charlotte Observer's Mike Kaye 2025 Carolina Panthers 53-gayman roster prediction spectacular

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      ESPN's David Newton: QUARTERBACKS (2): Bryce Young, Andy Dalton A preseason muscle injury to Dalton's right arm could force the Panthers to keep Jack Plummer if the issue gets worse, but that currently doesn't seem to be a concern. For the first time since going No. 1 in 2023, there is no question that Young is the starter after winning two of his final three games last season with 10 touchdowns (7 passing, 3 rushing) and no turnovers. RUNNING BACKS (3): Chuba Hubbard, Rico Dowdle, Trevor Etienne Selecting Etienne in the fourth round out of Georgia makes veteran Raheem Blackshear a likely cut. Etienne has shown in the preseason that he is a capable option as a runner, in addition to being a returner, which has been Blackshear's primary responsibility since 2022. WIDE RECEIVERS (7): Tetairoa McMillan, Xavier Legette, Adam Thielen, Jalen Coker, Jimmy Horn Jr., David Moore, Hunter Renfrow This is the most improved group on the team, so keeping seven initially makes sense. If the Panthers go with six it could make coach Dave Canales' favorite, Moore, expendable with Renfrow showing he's close to the level he played in 2021 when he made the Pro Bowl with the Las Vegas Raiders. Brycen Tremayne, who's had an excellent preseason, will be a tough cut. TIGHT ENDS (3): Tommy Tremble, Ja'Tavion Sanders, Mitchell Evans There is anticipation Tremble (back surgery) will be ready for the regular season after coming off the PUP list before the preseason finale, though he could still miss a game or two. Keeping him on the 53-man roster makes sense so she doesn't have to miss the first four games. OFFENSIVE LINEMEN (10): T Ikem Ekwonu, G Damien Lewis, G Robert Hunt, C Austin Corbett, C Cade Mays, T Taylor Moton, T Yosh Nijman, T-G Brady Christensen, G Chandler Zavala, G Jarrett Kingston Injuries to guards Lewis (strained shoulder) and Zavala (knee) plays a factor in keeping 10 instead of the nine predicted going into camp. The starting five returning from 2024 had a solid preseason, but the lackluster play of backups showed depth remains a concern. DEFENSIVE LINEMEN (6): DE Derrick Brown, NT Bobby Brown III, DE Tershawn Wharton, DE A'Shawn Robinson, NT Cam Jackson , DE Jaden Crumedy A shoulder injury that has kept fifth-round pick Jackson from making an impact means Crumedy could make it here. The biggest cut will be Shy Tuttle, who has 32 starts the past two years but little to show for it. Moving on from him will create $2.4 million in cap space that can be used elsewhere. LINEBACKERS (10): OLB D.J. Wonnum, OLB Patrick Jones II, OLB Princely Umanmielen, OLB Nic Scourton, OLB Thomas Incoom, ILB Christian Rozeboom, ILB Trevin Wallace, ILB Claudin Cherelus, ILB Jon Rhattigan, ILB Jacoby Windmon The release of ILB Josey Jewell (concussion protocol) at the start of camp required immediate attention, but Rozeboom has stepped up well. Depth remains a big question, particularly inside. Moving on from draft pick Bam Martin-Scott means he'll likely end up on the practice squad. It was time to move on from OLB DJ Johnson. Look for turnover beyond the starters here. CORNERBACKS (5): Jaycee Horn, Mike Jackson, Chau Smith-Wade, Shemar Bartholomew, Corey ThorntonJackson has played well enough at times to ease the concern opposite Pro Bowler Horn. Thorton's play during camp has been a big surprise, but the overall depth of this group means there likely will be turnover. SAFETIES (4): Tre'von Moehrig, Nick Scott, Demani Richardson, Lathan Ransom The big question is how long it will take fourth-round pick Ransom to replace Scott as the starter opposite Moehrig. Also, don't rule out another experienced player being signed. SPECIALISTS (3): K Ryan Fitzgerald, P Sam Martin, LS JJ Jansen Big-legged undrafted free agent Fitzgerald out of Florida State may have solidified his spot over Matthew Wright with a 52-yard field goal in the second preseason game against the Texans. The other two spots are solid, but Carolina likely will keep an eye out for dependable veterans who end up being released.
