Steph wont rule out signing with the Hornets next season.

It's been discussed ad nauseum here, but what do you do with Kemba?  If you move Steph to the 2, we would get torched on defense with those two.  Kemba has earned his place here.  I'd be pissed if he was kicked to the curb.

Steph is a Top 3 player in the League.  Earned his place or not, he would have to get traded quickly.

I'd argue that. He's a natural scorer, but I don't think he's a top 3 player by any means. Not that I wouldn't want to have him, but we better expect a king's ransom for getting rid of kemba. Those two cannot coexist.

I have been wondering this as well. Kemba is a beast. It would be a shame, but if steph cam here, he would either leave or come off thee bench. Both situations I would hate.

He could play 2 here couldn't he

Imagine a Walker-Curry-MKG top 3 lol wow AND Batum, AND Zeller .. Curry makes Hornets a championship team


If Curry signed here and our current roster of players didn't change at all(unlikely) I assume the starting lineup would be
Kemba
Curry
Batum
Williams
Zeller

With MKG, Lamb, Hibbert and Frank being your main bench contributors. Sessions, Marco and Hawes would get a few minutes here and there but not many.

Offensively the team would be great, defensively we would struggle, MKG and Hibbert off the bench would help a lot though.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
