We want the Monk, Gotta have that Monk

Eight points, four assists on 3-6 shooting in 14 minutes for the Hornets tonight against the Raptors. He's our most electrifying player.

It's like if the NFL made teams use two QBs every game, and we had Jake (Kemba), Chris Weinke (MCW) and Cam (Monk) and Weinke got 4/5 of the backup minutes. MCW is fuging beyond trash and contributes literally nothing the same way Malik does. He's a worse shooter, defender and passer.

Pretty ironic that we thought we were getting a steal with Monk when the guy that most thought we would "settle" with in Donovan Mitchell already looks like a star

I would have been pissed passing on Monk and you have to remember that Mitchell would look a lot different on our team. He might be in a similar position as Monk. 

What upsets me about the Hornets is that the organization doesnt realize when and how to tank. 

This would be a perfect year, with all of the injuries to play the young guys, get them experience and have a high pick. Then if MJ and the band wanted to try again with the Kemba, Howard, Nic team they could! We would just potentially add another important piece.

And just like that I am done. fuging tank it and blow it up. 

Yeah, this takes away any reason to watch for me.  They should honestly play Monk and Bacon as much as possible.  Sure the are not ready, but they will learn faster and their growing pains will result in a better draft pick.

Hornets are the Cleveland Browns of the NBA. It is sad really. We have so much basketball tradition in this area. Yet, we struggle to get even a decent team. We finally have a good draft (IMHO), and we do not play the rookies like other teams do in order for them to get real gametime experience. SMH. Cho is simply a yes man. Even if he wasn't a yes man, he has no real experience in basketball. He is simply a financial adviser and nothing more. Just a way for the team to cut corners to make a profit instead of winning or at least trying to build a winner. Rant over.

I think it will take a horrible stretch in January for the Hornets to finally realize they are inadvertently tanking. I just hope that we don't try to pull off a terrible trade and give up a pick or future flexibility. Let's just call it what it is. Our team with a hurt Batum and Cody are not very good. 

Our coaches putting MCW over Monk is not good. When Monk is in the game, we are keeping him in the corner doing nothing but waiting. He is one of the few scorers off the bench and we don't give him a chance. 

How I wish I could go back to the first 10 games of the season and get the excitement back of seeing Monk and Bacon off the bench on regular basis. That was enjoyable.

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
