Hornets have a great locker room, dare I say one of the best in the NBA. I've never heard any negative comments ever mentioned about the front office, staff, or players (save D.J. Augustin when he got salty that the ***cats elected not to bring him back because of Kemba).

Ultimately I think this allows the Dwight Howard's, Stephen Jackson's, Boris Diaw's, Jeremy Lin's, Al Jefferson's, Jeremy Lamb's, Jason Richardson's and Gerald Wallace's of the NBA to revitalize their careers.

The Hornets have even been able to prolong careers and get good seasons out of players like Corey Maggette, Kwame Brown, Josh McRoberts, Chris Douglas-Roberts, Ben Gordon, etc.

Obviously this isn't the case with every player (i.e Lance Stephenson, Spencer Hawes, and Roy Hibbert). But I believe if there is talent left; MJ, Clifford, Silas, and co. will get it out of the players (i.e. Howard).

The guys look like they are really having fun out there and save Cleveland and maybe Boston I don't see a team in the East we couldn't take in 7.

Right now, Cleveland can't even beat the Knicks.

There is a lot of homer-ism in that post but I like it..

Kemba is the head of the team - and when you have an EGO-less leader - backed up by a truly humble vet like Marvin = everyone else falls into line.. kinda like San Antonio was with Duncan.. they have fun and know how to work - no one complains about getting shots - and if they have a problem: Cliff has been praised by many on being Real and Honest with his players.. we have a good foundation for a franchise - but the consistency needs to continue..

November and December are going to be tough months..

This team has the opportunity to very good when healthy.

First Unit of Kemba, Batum, MKG, Marvin, Howard

Second Unit of MCW, Lamb, Bacon, Frank, Cody

Rotational: Monk, Graham, O'Bryant

Extras: Stone, Paige (G Leauge), Mathiang (G League)

I'd rather Lamb start for now on.. More aggressive scorer which this team needs.  Batum is way to passive.

      A look at the team after the draft and udfa signings...

      By KillerKat · Posted

      My projection. I think at WR its time to go with youth. This means Moore should be the odd man out. Horn can return both punts and kicks and Tremayne is a better WR than Moore. XL gets one more year to prove himself, although I could see a trade in the future which would mean Moore could stay. For OL, I would like us to bring back Brady if we can. The RBs, Trevor can return both punts and kicks too. With the uncertainty of Brooks and Dillon, its hard to choose either one. I think the team would like for Brooks to have a breakout season to clear any uncertainty that he deserves a spot. For now, I have them both even and on the team. DL looks solid as well as OLB. Watch out for the UDFA of Aaron Hall and Isaiah Smith at OLB. They look promising and could knock someone off the team. ILB is still the biggest weakness on the team. We need to upgrade that any means necessary. CB is strong and Im praying to all the Gods that Wheatley beats out Scott at FS.  OFFENSE: WR: Tetairoa McMillan - *Chris Brazzell II* - Brycen Tremayne TE: Tommy Tremble - James Mitchell LT: #Rasheed Walker# - *Monroe Freeling* LG: Damien Lewis C- #Luke Fortner# - *Sam Hecht* RG: Robert Hunt - #Saahdiq Charles# RT: Taylor Moton - #Stone Forsythe# TE: Ja`Tavion Sanders - Mitchell Evans WR: Xavier Legette - Jalen Coker - Jimmy Horn Jr. QB: Bryce Young - #Kenny Pickett# RB: Chuba Hubbard - Trevor Etienne - #AJ Dillon# - Jonathon Brooks DEFENSE: LE: Tershawn Wharton - Bobby Brown III  NT: *Lee Hunter* - Cam Jackson RE: Derrick Brown - LaBryan Ray LOLB: Nic Scourton - Patrick Jones II  LILB: Trevin Wallace - Bam Martin-Scott - *Jackson Kuwatch* RILB: #Devin Lloyd# - Claudin Cherrelus  ROLB: #Jaelen Phillips# - Princely Umanmielen LCB: Jaycee Horn - Akayleb Evans RCB: Mike Jackson - *Will Lee III* - Chau Smith-Wade SS: Tre`von Moehrig - Lathan Ransom FS:  Nick Scott - *Zakee Wheatley* - Demani Richardson  SPECIAL TEAMS: K/KO: Ryan Fitzgerald P/H: Sam Martin KR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. PR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. LS: J.J. Jansen  * = Draft Pick # = Free Agent / Trade () = Undrafted Free Agent

      So is Legette getting traded?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      His contract is guaranteed.  Legette is just not where he needs to be mentally.  Not fully invested, it seems.

      Literally like Hill. He's not QB1 material (now or ever), but if we can turn him into a H-back and use him like  Swiss army knife, that's his ticket to make the roster.  H-back/emergency QB.  I wonder how good his hands are?  If they are at least above average by NFL standards then we can line him up in the backfield, in the slot, split out wide and of course, in the Wildcat.
