Stanley Johnson refuses to workout for Hornets


Nate Dogg

Recommended Posts

So he'll work out for the two teams picking between us and won't work out for us because he doesn't think he will fall that far? That doesn't make sense man

Because that's not what I said. I said just because he doesn't work out with us that doesn't mean he's automatically off our board.

I referenced Vonleh's situation as an example which was different from Stanley who obviously sees that he might not get an opportunity here with all our wings in tow already.

I think Vonleh didn't work out because he thought he would not fall that far. Johnson knows he will (since he worked out for the Heat) he just doesn't want to come here. So screw him.

I never understood this. Why burn a bridge? Hypothetically, what if Detroit and Miami decide to go a different direction?

Says a lot about him in my opinion. I don't think some of these players understand what competition means. He doesn't have to workout for us. It only made sense if he was going to go top 5 but the possibility of him going after 9th overall is likely. In my opinion he is scared of a challenge and we don't need players like that on our team. The greatest player ever is our team owner and Jordan was never scared of a challenge. So we shouldn't take players that are in my honest opinion. Don't get me wrong I like Stanley I hope he becomes a great player but it's just sad to hear things like this that's all.

The issue with us is that he's going to be stuck behind MKG, and perhaps after seeing how Vonleh was marginalised last season, he might not want to come to a team that is not going to start him and give him a lot of minutes?

I agree that he shouldn't burn bridges, but some players want to try and control where they go, and I'm not surprised if Johnson doesn't want to come here. And to be honest, I think our sights should be set on a SG like Hezonja or Booker, or a big like Turner or Cauley Stein.

    • That's true. I did actually mean the FO but that's a fair point.
    • A guy like Jones at average pay is going to not work out IMO. The 20 million difference to spend elsewhere is too large of a hurdle when the QB plays good but not carry the team good. They are in the sweet spot currently at cost to value with him. Darnold is pretty much the same. Good in a limited role but lean on him and he will fold. Tua didn't beat good teams when it had to be on his back to be the difference, and that was true when his team was stacked. All of Murray's talent has resulted in 1 winning season for them and 1 wildcard loss. The NFL has an overpaying mediocre QB issue. At the right price it's not an issue but can be a positive. It inevitably leads to a worse roster which becomes a poo show. NY gave up their RB because they paid Jones and proved that. The first is most likely leading to the second. Baker is bucking that trend but he was always the best of any of that group, even if his time here was pretty much the worst setup possible.
    • If you only factor passing, there is a VERY mild argument Dalton is more efficient but it's ignoring the threat Cam was as a big play literally every snap. With his feet OR through the air. Dalton was never that type of player. I would say Dalton over 200 is a very safe bet.
