Tough loss to a depleted Lakers team.  So damn disappointed with all these injuries right now.  Frustrating doesn't quite capture it.  Down to seven seed now.

I'd keep this team together. The two young bigs will have a year of conditioning under their belts. Zeller is underrated. He's been playing very well. 

I think guys will contractually want to stay together. This off-season may be a good time for Mitch to extend some guys. These Hornets are more of a family than I've ever seen. LaMelo, Gordon came in and fit immediately.

The future is bright. I heard the Hornets were a league pass darling. The court, the uniforms, the mascot, the marketing, smh, gotta give Jordan props.

I understand why the twins are getting run with all the injuries we have right now - but I better not see either of them on the roster next year..

We could replace both of their combined contributions with a vet min contract to MKG..

Gawd damn this 3 game skid is hurting my soul.. 💀.. and with Nets, Blazers, Knicks, Bulls coming up..

This year Mitch, Jordan both admit they had no idea Lamelo would be this far ahead and he has a very robust squad, aside from the injuries this year, he's joined, scorers, all of them.

I think Mitch, now knowing they are a playoff contender, now knowing that all his starters well into the bench can each put up 20 and that he may have a Jordan/Kobe type of guard in Melo, can add a piece or two to compete for it all next year.

This year to the Hornets will be a blessing in disguise. Like I've said, Mitch can sell this team to present players close to re-up. Terry might stay. Zeller and Biz might want to stay for reasonable coin. Mitch can sell this team to key free agents in a way he couldn't before.

You may even see Jordan touch the luxury cap if he believes this is it. This is the squad, this is the time.

    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
    • Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.
    • Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
