Miles Bridges just removed 'Hornets' from his Twitter and Instagram bios amid the uncertainty entering free agency.

A lot of players do this when they are free agent. He isn't technically a Hornet if he's a free agent. Wouldn't read too much into it but if they can't shed Heyward then they might not be willing to spend for him

Likely gamesmanship on the part of Miles and his agent. The IG of a photo of him and LaMelo with a salute emoji is more curious.

Klutch Sports really going all out…

The media would like nothing better than for Melo and Bridges to be elsewhere.

I wouldn't be surprised one bit if we lose him.  The Panthers and Hornets are clearly cursed franchises.  Just look at the poo they did over the last two weeks...  losing Miles falls right in line with all of it.  We are a dysfunctional organization, so I like to go ahead and prepare myself for the worst possible outcomes with our teams...  

That being said, if you look at the Kyler Murray situation with the Cardinals earlier this offseason, he did the same thing while trying to negotiate an extension.  I think it's par for the course with agencies/athletes and their teams nowadays, but again, I wouldn't be surprised at all if we lose him.

The Cliff reunion may come with a Kemba reunion at backup PG.

I wonder how the huddle would feel about that. With Cliff here and Kemba available it's a very possible, possiblity.

I don't see why Terry doesn't backup LaMelo and Bouk. That's an option if he'll do it.

[rippadonn]

We've got to sign Miles but Miles needs to help us keep LaMelo and others in the future.

It's tough I really really really hope they work this out. That's Melo's road dog.

It was a long time ago but the Larry, Zo situation tore us apart. It was never the same after that. What could have been if we'd been able to keep LJ, Zo, Dell together.

History would teach us that keeping your core together is paramount in order to become the 90's Bulls or Golden State.

Welp...  prepare to rage fellas.  

One interesting footnote I kept thinking that everyone seemed to be ignoring after the draft night trade fiasco, was aside from the obvious - we enabled Detroit to save money to throw at Miles by giving them a young center so that they don't have to pursue Ayton - many left out the fact that Detroit is Miles' hometown team.  So not only did we enable them to offer him beaucoup amounts of money that will likely scare MJ's cheap ass from matching, but he has even extra incentive to sign with the team that we helped because he's from there.

I swear our teams are headed by fuging idiots.
