MKG will be in New York with Cho at the Draft to rep our team!

http://www.nba.com/hornets/mkg-represent-hornets-nba-draft-lottery

 

 

Forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist will represent the Hornets at the NBA’s annual Draft Lottery next Tuesday, May 19, in New York. 

“I’m excited to attend the lottery on behalf of our team,” Kidd-Gilchrist said.  “I look forward to being in New York and hopefully bringing us some luck.”

 

Hopefully this ends the "MKG on his way out" ideas.

do you have any fuging idea how the nba draft lottery works?  lowest we could possibly fall is 12th and the chances of that are about .0000000000001

 

First of all, I was being sarcastic.

 

Second of all, no one who suggests the Hornets should trade Kemba for a second-round draft pick has ANY right to question anything basketball-related that someone else says.

Well that was one of the worst attempts at sarcasm I have ever witnessed....it didn't even... it didn't even make any type of sense.

 

Yeah because trading a ball dominant guard who has only had one season of shooting 40% that we've also committed to paying about $50 million for over the next 4 years would be a terrible idea.  I know he was hurt last season down the stretch but Kemba has a lot to do before you can convince me he can be the starting PG on a team that's gonna go deep into the playoffs.  Plus above average PG's are easy to find nowadays, Kemba's production could EASILY temporarily be replaced while we look for a true floor general.  

 

Look, I hope I'm wrong.  I hope Kemba shoots 43% next year while going for 19 PPG.  But I don't see it happening, I just don't.  I simply don't think he's worth anything near what we're about to pay him.  I love the guy, probably the best PG we've ever had but he's not worth big time money.

What you don't seem to understand, though, is that Kemba's not getting paid big-time money. The salary cap is increasing and his contract goes along with that.

 

It's fun to hope that everyone but MKG gets traded every season – actually it's not fun, it's incredibly stupid – and yet I guess everyone on here but me feels compelled to do it.

The offseason is about speculating "fun" scenarios. The NBA is structured in such a way that there can be a ton of turnover in rosters from year to year. At 33-49, with little to no star power, no one player should be off limits in terms of discussing where they fit in the future of the team.

Kemba was terrible after coming back from his injury. It may have been because he was never 100%, but he was not good. Just as you can say he was poised for a breakout season, I can say that opening stretch could have been an anomaly, especially when Mo Williams comes in and does the exact same thing the moment he joins the team.

Point guard is becoming the running back of the NBA, a dime a dozen. Is Kemba really a starting point guard on a contender or would he be better suited to be a Lou Williams-esque sixth man?

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      lol well that kinda ended up working out in the end, even though I still don't have my jersey yet. Was supposed to ship by tomorrow this time, but just got another email saying it was delayed another 3 weeks and because it's been delayed so long, I had to tell them to keep the order or cancel it, but gave me a 25% off my next order as an apology. Well, my original fear came true and they are now selling the FUSE version (but still not the Blue unfortunately) before the one I ordered was ever shipped. But that's awesome, because I was able to use that coupon to order the FUSE instead and then cancelled the original order.  So I got the jersey I wanted for only $6.30 more than the crappier version costs, and it also says it will be shipped immediately and get here early next week, or 2 weeks before the other was now supposed to be shipped out.

      I've watched this and think we are well underway.  Believe it or not, Bryce is a big part of this.  The way he bounced back with such grace.  And we've got a lot of young players who want to make their mark, Dave is giving them an opportunity.  I loved our draft.  I like the number of guys we brought in, and they will help build the culture we want under Dave.  We're getting closer, and I think we'll see more wins this year than most of the board. The right culture breeds winning, and winning builds the right culture.  Imho, it's coming.

      As others have said it's both. One creates the other. But it also takes time sometimes years. And there have been teams lately with new car smell coaching staffs that looked like they were putting it together quickly but things came crashing back down to Earth. Sustainability is the key. For that to happen the meddling of our owners has to stop and they cannot be tempted to return to their ways over any bump in the road either.
