This team went from exciting to nothing but a mirage and has thoroughly pissed me off...

FWIW, I was watching The Jump yesterday, and Matt Barnes and RJ both said they think we'll beat the Pacers and raved about us, and the BPI has us at a 51% chance to win.  But, I don't think national guys saw how bad we looked down the stretch here either.  Again, I'm hoping for the best, but I was extremely discouraged by what I've seen over the last month.

They were horrible down the stretch. We almost beat the Knicks the 4th place team and then turn around and just get beat like a drum by the Pacers? The Pacers?  They were not even thinking playoffs a week ago. Just sad.  I see other NBA teams playing their whole roster, why don't the Hornets? What is the benefit of not playing certain players? I guess that's why I am not a coach.

It's disappointing but I can't be mad at this season.  LaMelo, Rozier, Bridges, McDaniels, Monk: these guys in particular found a new gear this season and have elevated Charlotte into a tough and promising squad. It's almost poetic how what's holding us back the most are the relics from Hornets past. Once we move fully past them this new era is ready to rumble with the best of them. They turned the culture around this year and set the foundation for what comes next

They've been completely gassed for awhile now so I think this is for the best. They need rest and the late lotto pick more an early playoff exit rn.

      Another Win

      Kalkbrenner and Sion James received regular contracts and not two ways, so the Hornets have some work to do to cut the roster size down.

      Gustavsson would be insane. I think we would have to break the bank to afford that move. Which, I don't think is necessarily a bad idea. Ultimately, Freddie isn't likely to be around more than a couple of seasons more. We can all agree that unless they have a fleet of sports psychologists working on Kochetkov, he will never be capable of getting his head on straight enough to compete.

      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.
