CHARLOTTE — Charlotte Hornets guard Malik Monk has been suspended indefinitely because he violated the NBA’s anti-drug program, the NBA announced Wednesday.

“The Charlotte Hornets are disappointed in Malik’s decision-making that resulted in his suspension,” the team said in a news release. “As an organization, we do not condone his behavior. However, we are committed to supporting Malik during this time.”

His sudden appearance on the floor the last two games made me wonder if we were showcasing him for a trade.  If so, we sure got a good showcase.  We are guard rich and front court poor.  If Malik can continue to score like this, I'd rather keep him over Devonte.

I've conceded that while I was wrong on Monk being the second coming of Devin Booker, he IS a player that is an important part of a championship team. He is the irrational confidence guard that can light another team up for 30 on any given night. Many championship teams in the past have had this player. Jason Terry, Eddie House etc.

Right now everyone is settling into their roles nicely. All are very comfortable.  When Devonte returns it should be interesting to see how the comfort is impacted. Monk has basically taken over Devonte's new role. 

Bamba would offer some pretty good minutes. Hopefully get Hornets out of protect the paint mode and not leave open threes.

Would you keep Monk or Graham at this point?

I wouldn't even give up on him developing consistency and being much more than that. His recent comments about growing up and actually putting in the time and effort to study film and focus, etc. were pretty damn revealing. If he keeps on the right track in that regard I see no reason he can't develop even further. Also, for all the criticism of Borrego for playing the Martin scrubs over Monk earlier, as much as that seemed warranted maybe there was a good reason for it... Hopefully he's turned a corner and can become an important core piece here.

If Oladipo is available I can't imagine they wouldn't inquire about bringing him in. Melo, Oladipo, Hayward, PJ, Zeller. 

Obviously I would still like an upgrade at C but perhaps the Rockets would be willing to let Victor go for a combination of Monk, Rozier/Graham, and a pick?

Thoughts?

ur crazy.. Terry is better than Oladipo right now.. Oladipo is older and has injury issues, isn't a great 3pt shooter.. trading Terry straight up - let alone in combo with Graham or Monk WITH a pick.. 🧐

Our backcourt is set if you ask me, I love its make up right now and wouldn't target any guard in a trade/free agency, even if they are theoretically an upgrade. Melo and Rozier are a great starting pair and Graham and Monk are incredible off the bench. 

We only need to upgrade the frontcourt. Jury is out on PJ being an ideal starter at PF, he obviously shouldn't be playing much at C. Miles is a great SF off the bench and could be a 6th man of the year candidate in time. Unless our 2nd round rooks surprise, we have nothing good at C and just PJ at PF, who has been inconsistent. Wish we could've gotten Jarret Allen, not sure what other options there are there except just continuing to try to draft well.

I would want to get more from a future 1st round pick than just Mo Bamba

If this is a playoff team a pick outside the lottery isn't too much to pay for me.  Bamba is a good developmental big who would fit well IMO.

He does play a little soft so I can see the concern.

    • I am trying to remember when I EVER said reach for need. My thing if someone falls you jump, if you can trade back a few slots and get help at the right value and pick up some ammo to move up from 51 which I think is outside the money zone, then you do that.   Take a WR later. Plenty of capable WRs have come from the 3rd round. Though this year I would go for C there if there was a reasonable choice. Take a TE if you must. I see more reason to take WR than TE. I think you give guys drafted two years ago and last year a chance to develop before cancelling them.    I think it is kind of unrealistic to throw everything all in on offense in hopes of going deep in the playoffs after an 8-10 year, even if it did have some nice bright spots in it.    And outside of this argument but relevant to it, I am bothered by Canales and Morgan and their apparent posture that we have arrived and are now in the big boy club. I don’t know where that comes from. They are out there talking like they are winners at 8-10. Backing into the playoffs in a real convoluted tie breaker scenario. They had some good games, yes. But the big feather n the cap, the LA Rams matchups, did you see what the Rams did? They didn’t fire the coaches but they fired their defensive backs. Bryce beat them yes, and it was pretty, but it was kind of like the Bucs and Mike Evans picking on our decimated secondary in 2022. Someone (Wilks) went down for allowing that to happen and they went down in LA too.  Wr aren’t as good as a whole lot of homers think we are. Shore up the trenches.    I think too many fans buy into it because they are so starved for anything that looks like a winner. 
    • How exactly does one win OROY "by default"? Wouldn't winning the award mean that of the two, McMillon stayed strong the entire year while the other guy didn't and fizzled out? That's like saying Secretariat only won by default because the other horse stopped moving midway through the race. Absolutely zero logic in that statement, which makes me very glad that I've never really paid much attention to Walterfoozball.
    • I agree, teams in the past have fired the HC in order to retain a coach on staff...hell it happened to Mcderp this year, rams in the past and Im missing another.  The fall off for the Panthers team defense was huge once Mcderp leftd and Ron could not fix it even when he named himself DC.
