MJ gives stamp of approval for Lamelo. 

I'm starting to wonder if this is BS.  I want Melo, but the flood of news about us wanting him now, the day of the draft...  it just seems a bit convenient.

Oh god, it would just be the most Hornets thing ever to take Ball.  Let's hope they don't pull the trigger for him/this is just a smokescreen.   He's a chucker who can't play defense. I don't care how gifted a passer you are, that recipe is not going to be very successful in the league and is certainly not worth the #3 overall.

No one plays defense anymore in the NBA. So, disagree.

A lot of basketball guys, not your average Joe’s like me really do like Ball and believe that he is the most talented and has the highest ceiling. I would rather have Ball than a soon to be 33 yo Russell Westbrook.

Agreed on the Westbrook point considering his contract.

All three have flaws.

Edwards is lazy, currently out of shape and just had an interview where he says he doesn't love basketball. Huge red flags if you ask me. 

Wiseman is slow laterally and will get torched on the perimeter which means you can't play him to close games or in the playoffs as teams will just take their center out of the game or play someone who can shoot. Also a big red flag.

Ball is weak physically and has a subpar shot form. I feel like both of those can be fixed with years of NBA training, so my money is on Ball to be the best out of the three. Defense will be fine because of his length and size, he'll put forth the effort when it matters. I also trust reports that Ball has been training all year on tightening his shot and he loves basketball.

I think Wiseman makes it to 3 and we draft him though.

      RODS gotta GO

      By carpanfan96 · Posted

      I wouldn't be mad if we were losing by 1 or 2 and the games were hard hitting tightly contested games. I'd be frustrated and upset about losing,but I wouldn't be mad.    Right now I'm pissed, Rod's decision making, his system of play, the consistent bad results in the conference finals. Then the team comes out at home and gets plastered 10-2 in the first two games... Yeah I'm mad at the results on the ice

      Man it’s not even about losing to the Panthers again, it’s how they are losing that makes me think a coaching change is needed. Florida is physical, got into the player’s heads, and it’s the coach’s job to get his players ready to play. Brindamour has failed miserably in the Conference Championship 3 times now. The Hurricanes look like they don’t even belong in the playoffs let alone in the conference championship game. If these games were close like in 2023 we’d be frustrated but not embarrassed and that’s the difference in a coach keeping or losing their job.

      I got down voted to hell and came back from it up some. Think Reddit Canes started to see the light today. lmfao
