Well, every year we have a small bit of hope and optimism and unfortunately every year since the return of the Hornets to Charlotte we have been disappointed. In saying that I do feel like we can get a good player. 

I am leaning towards Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. I feel like he would be a good complement with Malik Monk, which is our future. 

Who do you all want?

Him or Knox.  Maybe even lonnie walker. No more undersized players. If we draft a 6'6 power forward in the msu guy ill be pissed.

I was cool on Miles Bridges until semi recently. I've begun to warm up on him. Just curious, what about him don't you like?

He's 6'6 and is a power forward. Knox is a 6'9 small forward, sga is a big point guard, lonnie walker is a big guard.

My 2 cents...if Collin Sexton is there...he's the pick.  If not go with one of the Bridges (assuming Porter or Young don't drop).  Miles certainly isn't going to turn around the franchise but I like his junk dog demeanor.  Mikal I would love to get, sweet stroke and underrated athlete.

so mainly a height issue? I get that. I'm ok with his size bc with his frame he can guard multiple positions theoretically. The thing I don't know is what his defensive potential really is. His athleticism is off the charts tho.

 

Kevin Knox might be 6-9, but he's kind of a bean pole. I do like SGA.

SGA or Sexton please , both immediately solve our backup PG problem (see: MCW abomination), both are fantastic fits for the longterm next to Monk and both are insurance should Kemba leave next year or we trade him

I'd also be happy with Mikal or Smith if we believe in his potential 

 

No to knox (he would undoubtedly bust/or just half ass it on the hornets), no to miles bridges he's positionless in today's NBA

Should trade Kemba for biggest possible package and draft SGA. 

Start SGA and Monk, use the pick from Kemba trade to draft a forward. 

This is honestly where I am leaning as well. I really don't want to give up Kemba just to get rid of a contract. I would prefer a top pick in exchange for Kemba. I think the highest would be Cleveland or the Philly pick. Unfortunately, I don't think their would be a way to move up to 5 and get Michael Porter Jr. He is my shoot for the stars pick.

The argument for being positionless though is that the game is kind of trending in that direction. When I watch Boston, they literally have guys that can switch and guard multiple positions on defense, lead the break, create offense, etc. The reason I've warmed up on Bridges is because he's built and has a great frame plus I think his athleticism will allow him to guard 3's and 4's for sure and potentially some 5's and bigger guards. I just really don't know how good he can be defensively. He didn't post great steals numbers at MSU. That being said, I have this strange feeling that he's got this high defensive ceiling with the right coaching.

The main reason I'd choose different players over Miles (Carter, Mikal, SGA, etc) is that for a player that hangs his hat on explosive offensive play, he won't be the best athlete on the floor anymore and his shooting (right now) isn't enough of a difference maker. There are other guys that fill more distinct roles on the team as it stands. 

Basically I get the appeal from Miles Bridges, but I'm not 100% there on him being the guy for me right now.

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
