This roster stinks, guess what we gave Rhule final say on the roster and you see wonders like PJ Trash Walker out there

 

 we’re down to our 5th QB

Rhule is gone and Wilks is laughable at best as a coach

 

the silver lining

trade assets for draft capital

Baker/Darnold are Trash

get the #1 overall pick and #33 pick

Get lucky and find a guy like Daboll 

cleanse the roster of all Temple/Baylor remnants 

The smart ones will.

The rigged (yes, I’m in that camp) RIGGGED NBA lottery system will never allow the hornets get no 1 overall pick, will always go to the next biggest media market. 

The thing is...the other big markets if you even consider them that are San Antonio,  utah, indiana. I dont think the other young teams are gonna be that bad. I think the nba wouldn't mind pairing wembayama with lamelo here. The hornets currently look worse than the teams i just named. Also the Commissioner loves lamelo. Not saying this is a guarantee it willl happen but they don't have reasons not to try this year.

The problem with the Hornets is this could cost them Ball.  They have a young top talent and haven't given him poo to work with.  That doesn't work in the NBA...

Yes they could lose him eventually if they dont build but melo will be up for a 200 Plus rookie max extension after next season and the odds of him turning that down are slim cuz he won't get it anywhere else. So there is still time, if they dont he can ask for a trade after he is paid.

The Dolphins forfeited their pick so we would technically get #1 and #32.  It will be a good year to have the top pick.  If we can flip some high salary players for more picks it could be a franchise changing draft.  

We don't have any bad players on high salaries (besides Anderson) so those trades don't help us - you're just trading away talented young players entering their primes for shits and giggles.

And turn down a 200 million plus rookie max extension? I doubt it my friend. 

Ball signed $100 million with Puma... he makes more money off endorsements then he does playing the game, that's not including others like Hulu

 

Places like LA only elevate his star power in marketing

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
