You give Kemba a A but lists Damian Lillard as a miss. You included players that were drafted in the 2nd round as players Charlotte missed (every team in the 1st round missed)

You would have really drafted the Greek freak with the 2nd pick at that time?

Didn't you have Vonleh as your avatar?

I'm going to start the NFL List

Tom Brady

Randy Moss

Richard Sherman

Aaron Rodgers

Etc.

Kemba was our best pick in the Bobcats/Hornets era. It is well known we suck at drafting BSPN makes fun of us a lot on NBA talk. Heck, even last year with drafting Frank over Winslow was questionable. It's still early for frank though. We have missed on a lot of picks. But we are competitive. Nail FA and a draft, we will be ok. Also, whatever happened to that poster "Thinkaboutit"

The winslow pick never made sense for the hornets. Charlotte signed MKG to a extension and traded for Nic. Winslow is a good defender but has a questionable jumpshot just like MKG.

Yeah good point, I'm just saying there were better players than Frank at that time. I do still think Frank will make a solid player.

Before they traded for Nic, I thought Devin Booker was going to be pick. After the trade It was the worst kept secret that the Hornets wanted Frank.

Do you think Frank is having a hard time adjusting to new three point line?  I can't figure it out.  He's been pretty atrocious from three outside of a couple games.  In college, you basically assumed it was going in when he put it up.  Now, well, it's the opposite.  At least he's funny.

I'm all for pointing our the front offices' short comings.. they need to be held in check and accountable - but when you cross over into the ridiculousness - you lose the credibility and people just wave you off as a cry baby and our FO's problems get swept under the rug.. 

I think i have been leading the "trade MKG wagon" but Listing MKG as an F is silly.. Zeller has become a much better player than I thought he would be.. PJ netted us Courtney Lee - without him, we dont make the playoffs.. Frank is still a question mark in my book - but from game 5 alone against the Heat in the playoffs last year at least gives him a C..

    • The good news is that we are pretty uniquely well established to address all of our needs this season. We have $14m real cap space, and something like $40m in trade deadline cap space. Not sure exactly how that works out. But, we have the room to absorb any bad contracts. With recent rule changes regarding retention, that went into effect this season, we now have a huge advantage in the trade market.  On top of that, while we do have obvious needs, we also have a glut of talent in certain areas that we struggle to find ice time for. We are over-stocked on scrappy talented lil-guys, strong defensively sound 3rd liners and shutdown left shot dmen. Whether it's a package or separate deals, idk. But, one of each from Stank/Blake/Nads, Erob/Carrier/KK/Jank, and Walker/Nystrom; throw in some 1st round picks (and frankly any other prospects they want) and we should be able to come out with a 1b to pair with Bussi and either a 2c with size or a 2c and size.   TL/DR We got the money, you got the stuff?
    • I don’t  think 6’4 was ever considered small or undersized. Baby hands tho, yes that was his thing That’s an interesting idea, like an optical illusion? Sounds like you have personal experience with this! 
    • in the 25' draft the Carolina Panthers had hired Brandt Tillis someone who actually understood how to build a successful team & build through the draft .  this team was yes mismanaged for years prior to Brandt Tillis joining the team in 25' & rarely done anything right in the draft outside occaionaly getting lucky on an UDFA such as Jalen Coker who's dad coincidentally happened to be a huge Carolina Panthers fan, hint hint  ...just saying
