Pelicans @ Hornets 1/7


Omega Atrocity

Recommended Posts

Al needs to come back and play his normal role only without a busted groin.

We played solid defense last year with him, no reason we can't again this year. Plus he is our best (or at least most consistent) offensive player.

Kemba has had to play like Superman for us to even get to 90 points. That won't last forever

With his age though it's time to start thinking about the future. Al has been injured more in his tenure in Charlotte then any other point in his career. I'm not saying I want to see go but it might be time to cut the cord.

He just turned 30. He isn't that old. Plus his game is already old man game so he will be fine.

Doesn't mean we shouldn't draft a big to eventually replace him, but 19 ppg 50% shooters that play center don't grow on trees

In today's NBA, rim protection is much more valuable than low post play, which is an inefficient way of scoring, especially if you can't ever get to the line like Al.

He completely negates the youthful energy on the roster with his lack of speed and iso play. There's a reason he's been on 4 teams in his career.

He's only 30 but he also didn't go to college which knocks some years off (82 game schedule compared to 32).

He's also not in the best shape and he's really struggling with injuries.

I'm as a big of an Al fan out there. I just don't see the fit here anymore. If he decides to opt out at the end of the season, so be it.

Greg Monroe looks like a nice consolation prize.

I don't want to trade him unless we're getting non-guaranteed contracts or expirings back.

I think a healthy Al definitely makes us a better team but I think a player like Monroe who is good offensively and defensively would be a much better fit.

This is why I'm perfectly fine with Al opting out in the summer should he so choose.

    • I’m really having a hard time understanding how this actually went down. -Renfrow expected to make roster as 2nd/3rd string. -Panthers cut Renfrow; Keep Brycen Tremayne, and add UDFA receiver (Dalevon Campbell) to active roster.  -Canales/Morgan say it’s totally up to Hunter whether he wants to come back or not, they would love to have him.    -Renfrow not signed to PS -Panthers trade Adam Thielen -Hunter Renfrow signed to active roster with a raise after an injury to Coker nobody heard about and is likely to start.    Our WR room is now: -Xavier Legette (2024 1st round pick) -Tet McMillan (2025 1st round pick) -Hunter Renfrow (1 year out of the league) -David Moore (Canales’ friend? A guy way past his prime) -Jimmy Horn (Likely a Shi Smith reprint, but has potential 2025 6th round pick, weighs 174 lbs) -Brycen Tremayne (2023 UDFA who was on Washington’s PS for 2 years and caught 1 pass for -2 yards and averaged 300 yards per year at Stanford) -Dalevon Campbell (2025 UDFA had a good preseason but had 1463 yards and 3 TDs over 5 college seasons at 3 different schools). What the hell is going on?  
    • Not uncommon for week 1 games. Especially against good defenses. It’s why I prefer my team play these small schools week 1 if they are going to play them. Gives the offense time to get calibrated.
