LiAngelo Ball is expected to sign a deal with the Charlotte Hornets, according to Roderick Boone of Sports Illustrated’s Hornets site, All Hornets.  

The deal will allow Ball to play with the team during the Las Vegas Summer League. It will also reunite him with his brother LaMelo Ball who just capped off a great first season by winning Rookie of the Year.

Rumors of a Ball brothers reunion began to surface when LiAngelo appeared on Devonte’ Graham's Instagram. Graham was working out with multiple Hornets teammates including LaMelo, PJ Washington, and the Martin twins. He was filming all his teammates when he panned the camera to show LiAngelo there as well.

I avoided this subject and was in the wait and see mode.. but when he showed up on Graham's IG feed - I started giving it some thought..

now that it seems he will be on the preseason roster (and eventual reg season roster) - I started looking to see if he can be an actual contributor.. can he be better than a Martin twin? maybe.. i don't know.. but I tend to come at this topic with the expectation that Gelo will not be a big-time contributor and at best = a microwave off the bench (the Monk role)..

with that said, I look a Giannis and his brother Thanasis getting a contract on the Bucks - but really providing nothing other than 6 fouls..
So if giving a few $$ to a star's family member keep the star in your small market team - then that's something you gotta do.. but Thanasis seems to accept his role as end of the bench guy - I hope Gelo would accept that if things don't pan out and he has to take a backseat to his younger bro..

      Evero HC requests!

      By 45catfan · Posted

      They are obviously waiting on for someone o the Seahawks or Patriots staff.  If they wanted Evero, it would be a done deal already. The only silver lining is if the guy they are waiting for turns them down.  In that instance I do think Evero is their backup plan.

      Evero HC requests!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Evero to the Raiders makes zero sense unless the OC he's pitching them is a failed HC who doesn't have interest in trying for it again. They're a team about to draft a QB #1 overall, developing him is job #1 for the new coach/staff.  Hiring a DC with a young up and coming OC wouldn't make any sense, because then you risk losing that OC to a HC job after maybe just a year or two and that young QB has to change system, play caller, etc. It's why hiring an offensive minded coach makes the only sense.  The Raiders have to make the right hire/pick with this HC hire and #1 pick combo because of that division they're in, it's a gauntlet and you can't screw up this opportunity.

      Very intrigued how Morgan and Canales handle the offseason

      1. Sadly, it's just too early to tell with Icky. And the draft will have come and gone before we have anything, FA, too probably. Njiman was good, but there's dollars to be invested there as well. This is really our biggest puzzle to figure out. And Moton on the other flank is getting long in the tooth, too.  2. Coker: Pay the man WR2 money.  3. Most WRs take three years before you really know what you've got. We'll know for sure by the end of this one and he's still on a relatively inexpensive rookie contract. Now if someone comes calling for a good, good trade... 4. This is the make or break for good teams vs bad teams. And depth development is essential. We've had a bit of that but there isn't a spot on our line that doesn't have worries except for maybe on guard.  5. I think you draft the best ILB, the smartest one in the first round and don't look back. People lost their poo here on this board when we "wasted" a pick on Luke Kuechly.  6. Yeah, I think Chuba is a workhorse. But we need to be more decisive in his use. Still not sure Rico doesn't come back next season, too. He'll get to see the marketplace first, though, and we'll offer similar numbers to him.
