Just FYI, Jalen Duren put up a double double with Detroit tonight. We drafted this dude and shipped him away at the center position but drafted Mark Williams to sit on the bench? Why does the Hornets front office always suck no matter who takes over? 

 

Duren was really good tonight. I actually preferred Williams but Duren looks like he could be the real deal.

The Hornets are the type of franchise that would get the #1 pick and trade Wembanyama for the #4 pick and 5 second round picks.

They overthink a lot of things and ultimately end up picking the wrong player between the two that they were picking from… Monk over Mitchell is obviously the big one.

This team may be OK. Guys like Oubre and Hayward are picking up the slack. Richards is becoming a legit starter, Cliff loves him and that pick may turn out to be gold. I dare to say Richards ceiling is higher than PJs. 

I'm over here giggling over how Nick has worked his way into starting center form. I don't think this is hyperbole, I think with Richards playing like he did tonight and Melo coming back, Terry, Oubre, Gordon scoring, PJ and Richards defending playing like they were, playoffs are more than possible.

First game shows the difference a more experienced coaching staff makes.

Could it all finally be coming together. Don't wake me!

What was the reasoning for trading Jalen Duren? Coulda dumped Plumlee and had a Duren/Richards rotation

I think they never planned to keep both picks and we're determined to get "something" in return.

I may sound like an idiot in a month but seeing Richards today, playing ball effortlessly, beasting. If that's the real Nick Richards I'm not mad at the Duren trade.

We've been missing an above average center since Al Jefferson.

Reason never came into it…one of the most ridiculous trades in NBA draft history. Honestly we need a new GM.  That was the dumbest move I have ever seen

    • I really appreciate Bill explaining his methodology here because that gives interested parties a chance to try and recreate the results themselves. I believe that it's safe to assume that despite emphasis being placed on WRs that Chuba Hubbard is one of the Panthers' top-5 weapons. Considering targets, yardage, receptions, etc... Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette are also on the list. Jalen Coker's success might have snuck him in there as well. I can't draw a conclusion on who #5 is though. I've narrowed it down to Diontae Johnson, David Moore, Ja'Tavion Sanders, and possibly Rico Dowdle if they're taking into account his production for the Cowboys in 2024.
    • Unfortunately business is business especially when there are large sums of money on the table. Goes the same for player and ownership. Does not make it right either way.  Why would he not want to play for the niners? Closer to home with a team that has a chance of delivering a SB trophy. 
    • I don’t know if it’s him bad mouthing his former situation in public or my pettiness but either way I’m not a fan. Dude was on playoff teams getting paid millions to entertain. I’m not better that because and I am better than that. You don’t bad mouth your former employer in public. Esp after getting over paid and two, poor little Russian baby didn’t get the playing spot he wanted. Rod had him exactly where is was supposed to be.  He had a mean lip check and did defend our players. Specifically the devils game around Christmas where is our Haula on his ass. Cool. Thank you. But don’t talk poo about us. Because it make you look like Haula.    “need to get as far away as possible”. fug off. Didn’t see Burnsy bad mouthing and his play dropped off too.    sorry, but Orlov doesn’t get a pass from me. See you twice a year…
