PJ Washington is not very good.  Seeing him on a decent team, it’s pretty clear.

The PJ trade to Dallas has worked out well.  A future first, Grant and Seth?  Great trade

Looks like the regular Hornets are back. Blow out after blow out and no one plays defense anymore. 

Cliff is in over his head and LaMelo is his dad, a primadonna who will not help this team.

Wow we beat the Cavs?

I can’t watch the games where I’m at but that’s a good squad they took down.  LaMelo, you watching bro?  We need you.

 

Brandon Miller scores 31 points on seven 3s as Hornets beat Cavaliers 118-111

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- — Rookie Brandon Millermade seven 3-pointers and finished with 31 points, and the Charlotte Hornets beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 118-111 on Wednesday night to avenge a 23-point loss earlier in the week.

Miles Bridges and Tre Mann each added 17 points and Grant Williams had 16 for the Hornets, who shot 58% from the field to snap a five-game losing streak. Vasa Micic had 11 points and 12 assists, and Nick Richards added 11 points and 10 rebounds.

Lamelo done for the year. Probably the smart call but still feels bad.

This is officially Brandon Miller's team moving forward. LaMelo can't stay healthy so it's not his fault.

Officially a Prima Donna. Dude better wake up or his NBA career will be short lived. No one wants to put up with this crap.

I said this earlier it’s time to trade Lamelo.  Best for both parties as long as his worth matches the comp

I was at the game Sunday. He didn’t even sit courtside with the team for the entire game. He was there for the first half, nowhere to be seen the second half. That might be insignificant to a lot of people these days, but to me that says a lot about him. Selfish prima donna.

This is so disheartening, what a selfish prima donna. How are you supposed to be a team leader when you can't even be there with them for a few hours. Cliff needs to assert his authority on him.

I’m open to trading LaMelo.

I’d want the deal to look similar to the Donovan Mitchell trade.

Three first round picks and some players.

Then in the draft I’d go with Risacher if we have a top two pick or Dillingham if we are closer to the 5th overall pick.

If we trade him it better be this off-season. Pretty soon nobody is going to touch him with his injury history and he's now on a supermax contract.

 

If we keep him next season and he gets injured again we are stuck with him.

Brandon Miller has become the second player in NBA history to record 25+ points in a half with 100/100/100% splits (minimum 5 three’s attempted).

Other player is Steph.

We finally picked the right guy and it happened immediately after MJ bowed out. I hope this is a good sign for the future. 

Don't forget the Magic won a bunch of games this year, not long after Cliff left. New blood, new results!

[WUnderhill]

Just one more loss for the 3rd worst record and even odds for the #1 pick.

Anybody know how the tie breakers would work if the Hornets win the final game and end with the same record as SA and Portland?
