Man whether it's the Panthers or the Hornets it's crazy how many foolish talking heads there are in the local media. I just unsubscribed from locked on Hornets. Doug Branson with his cheesy mustache is an absolute clown especially when his partner isn't on. Talking about trading LaMelo because he can't win basketball games by himself with no semblance whatsoever of a legitimate Center. These YouTube personalities will say anything for a damn click.

Lol I watch Locked On Hornets every now and then. Those guys don't know basketball. They were screaming take Scoot over Miller and we see how that turned out.

 

 

I just watch them for the laughs at this point.

I have watched every Hornets game this season, minus the first game against the Heat.  I'm extremely frustrated with the injury situation even though I know it's not the players fault.  It just every season the same damn thing.  No matter who we draft, sign, or trade for, it's like we're cursed.  Melo and Brandon cannot win games by themselves, and it's honestly impressive how close they've come to doing that recently in several close, winnable games.  Mark Williams needs to get his ass back on the court soon or the ownership needs to start thinking long-term Plan B at Center, because without help inside, our dynamic backcourt will continue to see constant double teams.  And I love Moussa but he's not NBA starting center material.  Offensive hands on the level of Biyombo.

You trade Ball because you fleeced another team and/or decide he's not the PG needed for the team or he gets injured and won't be the same again. Honestly, Ball with a pass first PG with him playing SG could be special especially with Miller at the 3.

I think Saluan will work out in the long run. He's very young but plays hard and obviously has talent. He's not even 1/4 of the way through his rookie season. Too soon to call him a bust. I was very unhappy with the pick but I'm going to be optimistic 

I am also one who believes he will work out, given time!!!

    • I just want to see a big guy with an NFL certified cannon arm suit up for the panthers again. To me, it will show that they are at least  trying to take the QB position in the direction it needs to go.   Will he throw picks? Yes. Probably a hell of a lot, but (for now) I’m strangely ok with that… for now. I at least need to see a dude that CAN make the throws with some semblance of accuracy.  This is the time to see what the QB whisperer is made of. The offensive talent is there. It’s certainly better than most rookie/journeymen QBs will ever step in to. If he can get a random dude playing at a JAG level, then I might be sold.  Andy could really surprise in the Buffalo game. He (for now) still has enough arm for Tet and XL to show what they’ve got, but we all know it’s only going to be good for 3-4 games, max. He has vet savvy, and that does account for a lot. He also has a full week of practice with all the snaps to prepare.  My best case scenario going forward: Andy plays the next 2 games nobly (winning one would be a huge bonus) giving White a chance to learn some of the playbook and develop chemistry with the players. Serviceable Andy turns in to old man Andy in game 3 and White takes the field after halftime.  A high ankle sprain (lol, sure it is) is an injury that can buy the team a LONG time for BY to ride the pine…. Maybe even IR. His peak trade value is now. Get what they can for this albatross. He’s now shown that he can be a mid level backup which does hold a significant value for the right team.  Not even in my wildest dreams do I see White being anything more than a JAG, but that’s ok. JAGs with a big arm make great bridge QBs that at least won’t have your play makers stagnating. Keeping BY under center is a 100% recipe for stagnating high ceiling (Tet/XL) dudes and/or not allowing them to take the next step in their development. Why even practice the good half of the playbook if the QB can’t make the throw? After a while, you’ve now got high ceiling guys who can only run a limited route tree. No thanks.
