The fuggin people on this board.  Lamelo is worth every cent of a max deal for this franchise.  I find it amazing we were able to get him to resign here.  

 

Exactly! This offer was expected, the concern was if he would take it or not.

Lamelo is a superstar.  We gotta get talented enough to get this guy in the playoffs.  Will be so fun to see him on that stage.

LOL…and is 22 yrs old.  So stoked he resigned here

I can answer the question for everyone. Not many currently playing or ever have played that have put up what Lamelo Ball did at 22.

 

7 players in the history of the NBA have averaged 25, 8 and 6 a game for a season. 

That goes up a few players at 23, 8 and 6 but not many. Even fewer that have done it before turning 25. To not want him here, it's crazy.

The Hornets need an on the court leader badly.  I really don’t know who that vet is but Kup needs to find that guy.  This team just needs to figure out how to win and the current coach isn’t that leader IMO

The young talent here is very high level

They need to replace Clifford as well.

Firing another coach after 1 year definitely isnt the call. We already have a hard enough time finding someone to coach this team, maybe we shouldnt fire every single coach after a bad season that was mostly out of his control.

Agree but with who. We couldn't find any one to take the job last time.  Maybe that changes once mj is gone

MJ having less influence, Melo locked down for 5 years, and drafting Miller should make it more attractive IMO.

Fair enough, I just read through the morning headlines and it seems he was getting the max deserved or not.  Just crazy to me he is going to be getting 50 million per and they havent won poo yet with him.  Sure he is young but his production is getting wins.

He’s still super young and the hope is his game gets more polished as he matures as a player.  Also he needs to stay healthy.

But the talent is undeniable and it’s not every day this franchise gets a player of his caliber.  You can pick in the top 3 for years and not hit on a player like him.

Its a bit risky to build around him because of the missed time, but I don’t really see how moving on from Lamelo would be a better option for this team at this juncture.

With everyone healthy this is a team that could make the playoffs.  And the core of the roster is so young that they could improve significantly over the next couple seasons.  Maybe we can get a good coach too.

You mean that without him we may not make the playoffs, lol.

No, I mean the message that it sends to the fanbase. Luck your way up in the lottery and draft a young kid with star potential, who wants to be in Charlotte. Then let him walk because you're too cheap to pay him.

This is the super max, if he makes the All NBA team next year its a supermax, if not its just a regular max contract for around $200M

Oh, I thought they couldn’t offer the full amount until he met the requirements. Huge incentive for him to ball out now.

      Fvck Bryce Young

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      Idk man, I think it’s necessary.  There’s people working 9-5s everyday that get told poo about what they aren’t and what they’re not capable of and they’re working for scraps.  These guys are making millions.  People are watching and invested because their team and fandom is a part of their identity and a big source of pride.  When someone like Bryce comes in and is given chance after chance after chance after proving he is not worthy of the position he’s being gifted, and he continues to be the biggest reason above any that we are losing, yeah…  I think it’s fair to call a spade a spade.  Am I saying Bryce the person is trash?  Bryce the person is a piece of poo?  Absolutely not.     I came up in an era, especially in basketball, where if you were fuging up people heckled the poo out of you.  I played in rec leagues as a teen where the fuging parents were calling kids trash and yelling poo like “TURNOVER!!!  TURNOVER!!!”  “CANT DRIBBLE!”  “CANT SHOOT!”  And that’s adults screaming that poo to kids like we were in the fuging Rucker lol.🤣🤣🤣  I went on to play basketball at a collegiate level and with professional players in different settings.  What those experiences as a kid taught me was to see if there is any merit to what people are saying, and if there is, then work my ass off til they can’t say that anymore.  Come back better, tougher, harder.  And I did.  If kids can figure that poo out, an adult calling another adult who is bad at his job while making millions and millions of dollars will be just fine.

      I'm 43.... I've lived half my life if I am lucky... will we ever have another team that we will fall in love with?!?

      By TheBigKat · Posted

      I have tried to like this team, lord knows I have tried. BY9 is a nice young man, if I had a daughter he can take her to prom, but he ain't QB1 and he's not Cam or Delhomme Chuba is a average RB, he isn't Stephen Davis, he isn't J-Stew McMillan has the makings of a good WR, but he isn't 89/Moose D. Brown is a great player, but if the game was on the line I want Kris Jenkins       I miss this brand of football, even in the bad Jake games the games were entertaining It has been nearly 8 years now of watching numb football

      I’m not sure people understand how fuging bad it is

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I'm not so sure. Something about the whole Frank/Bryce situation seemed off from day 1. Bryce didn't fit Frank's QB mold as well as Stroud, then he basically gives up when Bryce is named starter in preseason but gets virtually no reps in games. Then he looks completely unprepared and Dalton steps in in Seattle, has a decent game under immense pressure, and it's right back to Bryce. All his mechanics are terrible and he's having the worst rookie season ever and Frank doesn't bench him?  You dont have to be a conspiracy theorist to know Bryce wasn't ready to be a day 1 starter. Everything with Bryce, then coaches, and the FO seemed forced.
