Hornets not pursuing any more centers

Max for Terry would be awkward after Kemba but I'm not against it. The way his catch and shoot game has been improving he's a good to keep playing at a high level for at least one more long term contract I think.

that's the question Mitch has to deal with.. Miles and Terry hit the FA market next year.. Miles seems like he's in order for a decent payday next year but nowhere near the max.. Terry will be very expensive - and with us just investing a lottery 1st round pick into Bouknight - it seems like the writing is on the wall.. sadly , we might have to flip him at the trade deadline this year to make sure we get something back from him..

well if we're going to lose him, best to get something in return.

However, weren't we like 3rd in the division this year before melo got injured, and with Biz and Zeller as our centers?  If the team suddenly comes together, and we feel we can make a deep playoff run, it might be worth keeping him.

Any team that trades for him will have to sign him to a contract he agrees to, so it's not like we'll get a huge return.

I hate to be a pessimist but the future doesn’t look good. If LaMelo doesn’t want to stay, he will leave. Right now, there isn’t a lot we can surround the kid with. We just need to pray that he chooses to stay here when his contract runs out. Miles really need to step it up big time for me to feel comfortable giving him a new deal. Terry isn’t really worth a max deal here in Charlotte. Terry is good but isn’t an elite player that can put this team on his back and win a playoffs series. We need for Bouknight and Kai to be become stars like LaMelo or we will be drafting very high in the near future. 

I'm as pessimistic as the next guy - but Lamelo hasn't even begun his sophomore year and we already afraid he gone..? thats a lil much for me..

I think the future is as bright as it has ever been here.. Miles took a step at the end of last year when everyone was injured - and has developed a good relationship with Melo.. PJ is solid - but needs to become more consistent THIS YEAR and if we keep him at the 4 instead of the 5 - he should improve.. I also agree Bouknight or Kai has to develop quickly (within 2 years) - my bet is on Bouk.. and I would also bet that one of the 3 Bigs [Vern, Richards or Thor] will develop into a contributor of some sort..

we will see, but there is a lot of potential/talent on the roster and JB's staff has shown the ability to develop the talent it is given.. Ball + Bouk + Miles is a good core with vet help from Hayward and Rozier.. I'm so interested to see if Melo takes another step this year..

    • attempting to build a stereotypical offense for their non-stereotypical QB?  I mean, I’m ready to move on from Bryce so I don’t really care.   But yeah, I’ve been clear since we drafted him the the only way I think Young can work is to to build him a Bryce dink and dunk O with their scheme and talent.  Big picture,  we are going to likely have better interior OL play and slightly better playcalling.   I mean, this is a Mike Williams thread.  What type of O did  Canales run  in Tampa?  The only addition skill talent wise to date is problem wideout the Steelers tried to deal for a year and couldn’t that plays on the outside.  Big picture I don’t dislike what they are doing to fix the O…but it’s still IMO a variation of last year where it’s not going to be catering to an anomaly QB.   I think we drafted an anomaly QB….and still have not come to terms with that.  and the talk/mood just feels like last year on repeat for me.  I was never it’s an all Bryce Young sucks guy either.  I didn’t like what they were putting him into from the jump when so many were talking playoffs and best roster since 2003 type stuff.  I still don’t like what they are putting him in….at least to date.  I don’t think we are going to put him in position again this year to help him reach his potential.     
    • I mean this is exactly what we have been wanting for the past 2-3 years. Another goal scorer and 2c at the trade deadline. We finally do it and it works out! Who wouldve thought? Im ready for the playoffs.
    • Trimmed the fat and added some beef. Strengthened the interior line and also gave Brown a partner in crime.  Could we see a Center and NT with our first two picks?  An advocate of building a team from the inside out can dream.  Barton and Sweat would be the most unsexy top picks ever but... for me, be still my heart. I give us a B-
