Brown is a beast and was badly needed for our pathetic DL. After getting punked in the run game all season, he is a welcome addition. Simmons made me nervous because the tweener/hybrid defenders don't always translate in the NFL. Simmons is a skinny LB in the NFL and too slow for safety. 

How is 4.39 too slow for safety?

My thoughts exactly.  I mean, my wife does not even know all that much about him and she saw the film come up and said "That guy is a linebacker?  He looks really tall and skinny?  Not saying he won't be successful but he always struck me as someone who wasn't built to be an NFL Linebacker.  Who knows, maybe he ends up being an insane hybrid type guy in the NFL but it seems like those types never pan out all that much.

He ran a 4.39 forty.  Faster than any safety on team.

      Hornets Acquire Collin Sexton

      Assuming Mann is back I’d go ahead and move Green and the first rounder from PHX for a starting center. I prefer Okogie to Green anyway.

      Been here since the Coliseum days. Hornets were the first pro team I ever rooted for. If they're ever going to get out of the gutter they have to establish a culture. They are trying to do that. I have no idea if it will be successful but it's a start.

      I don’t think I'd go that far but there is definitely legitimate reason to ask how much he actually values winning and being great as a basketball player. He is very easily distracted with off the court stuff. This has been a public criticism of people like LeBron James with some of the newer generations of "stars". And it is 1000% valid and needed to be said. All I can say is I hope this is the year. If it is it will be apparent fairly early on. But I get the sense if the same themes continue as the upcoming season progresses the FO could look to move him before the trade deadline. It would suck for a multitude of reasons and I don't want to see it happen but if it did it would be on LaMelo and LaMelo alone because they've given him the keys and are finally putting pieces around him. If he wants to be a great basketball player and win he will be here and do what is necessary for the team to be successful. If not well....
