LaMelo is the closest the Hornets have had to a MJ/Kobe type of player.

It's a new day. Gotta keep your boy happy. Two roster spots to keep him happy, put family around the still young man?! 

Now with Miles gone, because let's face it, he's outta here, you've gotta replace that. The biggest reason for resigning Miles was Melo.

Melo wants Durant, when I said a couple posts ago that somebody needed to make that call I really meant MJ, but Melo has weight.

To Durant playing with Melo instead of Kyrie may be an upgrade. Helping MJ and Melo may be attractive. Miles gone makes Lonzo more valuable now.

Robert Parrish played for the Hornets and retired here on Lake Norman last I heard so it's not out of the realm of possibility.

Tell KD that this will be Golden State East and we've got the second best shooting Curry in the building every night.

I love Terry, but we need to trade him and get value for him because the fit just isn't ideal.  He is a certified dog and an absolute baller, but hr has to go somewhere where he is the ball dominant guard.  Having Melo here as the primary ball handler makes it tough matches wise when you have a barely 6 foot guard as the other gut in the backcourt.  I've always believed that.  No matter how good he is, it puts us in an unfavorable position if he isn't able to maximize his touches and production offensively to offset the match up issues it creates on defense.  So, ideally, moving him to a team where he could maximize his offense for a off-guard or combo guard with size would be perfect, and Lonzo fits that's description perfectly.  I really would like to get more for Terry (like in a package to get KD, but that's likely a piepedream as I'm sure KD has no interest in coming here), but if that's the beat we can do, I really like that trade as well.

An off-guard with size and defensive ability makes us incredibly dangerous.  Also, can you imagine the Lonzo and Melo as a passing backcourt?  My God.  That would be amazing to watch.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
