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.

      Not all talent can be measured with a ruler and stopwatch. His hands, body control, and skills were ELITE.

      He did have talent, but if you look at his combine/workout numbers...they are not eye popping like many of the combine freaks are. All the best have talent, smarts, and work ethic. What he was able to do in his 40s, he holds all the records after 40. He had two 1k seasons at 39 and 40, no other WR has 1k after 36. He came back from a ACL tear within 9 months after he turned 35 years old. You know this is the era where ACl was a career derail-er and it took most mortal men took a full 12 months and they were never the same. Only two other players have made catches at that age (40) and neither one was a wide receiver. LOL at Tom being one of them....   I also read or heard, he would have still played if not for ST. He was going to play for the broncos in 2006, I think he would have been 44???, he earned a spot as the #4-6 but the numbers game of having WRs play ST ended his career. He could still get open and play, just no sense in having the GOAT run head first into a wedge on KO duties.....

      High praise for TMac

      With a strong finish to the season, he has a real chance at being just the 3rd Panther to make the Pro Bowl in their rookie season (and just the 2nd as a non special teamer) after Cam and Smitty. He won't make it on the original selections, not over JSN, Puka, Pickens, St Brown, London, Jefferson who should all finish with at least the same amount of yards and TDs, if not more.  No rookie is getting selected over all those big name vets with similar statistical seasons. But a couple injuries and/or reaching the NFC Championship and pulling out of the Pro Bowl, he very well could be one of the first couple alternates and end up making it.  Last year the NFC ended up with 7 WRs making it in the end after players who pulled out got replaced.
