We just lost any chance we had at getting Curry to come home

I thought him winning would lessen the chance, but it could very well work in our favor. Dubs fans can't be mad with him if he leaves now that he has brought them a chip. His heart is in charlotte, his home is in charlotte, his family is in charlotte... Dell's role within the team has just expanded. I don't think it's coincidence. I feel like he will come home as soon as he hits FA.

I love how in a year when LeBron James left a winning franchise in Miami to go back to Cleveland and the finals feature two franchises that haven't won anything in 40 years that it's somehow completely ridiculous for Curry to come to Charlotte in 2017.

We are coming off a 33-49 season, have no stars, and are capped out with management that can't draft worth a lick going nowhere fast. Tell me again why as fans we shouldnt be looking for every glimmer of hope for maybe being a good basketball team at some point?

He needs to stay there. They could potentially be the next "Spurs" if their players stay unselfish come contract time.

​Nope. They have no big man and most of their shots are chucks. They seems more like the 2000s Mavericks/Suns than the Spurs. Plus the Spurs focus on ball movement, Golden State focuses on man movement in their offense.

Everything fell into place for the warriors to win it. Won't be that easy next time. 

Drafting a superstar these days is tough and this city gets no love from the lottery. Free agency is the way to go for the Hornets. 

Hopefully the parents/grandparents as well as friends, family and the Hornets organization can convince the guy come free agency or work on a trade. 

It can happen.

Your salty tears are delicious. Can't decide if I should drink them neat or on the rocks. 

Youve been hating all year and still can't help yourself.

​Am I wrong? Spurs move the ball to get defenses out of position and in recover moments where people are wide open. Warriors are busy with floppy sets, down screens, dribble handoffs, etc. they are about man movement, and they have no Duncan. They are no Spurs.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
