Looks like another trade the hornets lost... Nothing new there for this poverty franchise

Most think they won the trade. LA gave up a lot for Williams. 
 

he’s only played in 40% of his possible games. Statistically is one of the worst defenders in the NBA as well and they got an unprotected first round pick, a swap and a good promising player.

The issue is the argument against Williams should also apply to our most expensive player. He needs to be on the basketball court.

I really like Knecht. I wanted him in the draft. He will be fun to watch here I hope. Can't say we won the trade though. That depends on how Mark develops and if he bucks his trend of missing significant playing time.

But man are we ever going to have a decent Center situation? We've gone from bad to flat out poverty there. I'll give the front office some time but enough is enough.

I think the real reason he got traded was the lack of effort recently and this was the highest Mark’s trade value would ever be with him staying in Charlotte.

At this point they need to trade lamelo to the highest bidder

I don’t think this is far off from happening once he has a healthy stretch and keeps the high level of play up. Seems this front office is resetting and is going to do the OKC playbook and is eyeing 2027-2028 to start making a run.

Now we have no center. Williams has way more potential than anything we got from them.  I have no idea why teams always help the Lakers get better then complain that big market teams get everything they want while small markets struggle

      TNF: Rams/Seahawks

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      I think the book has been fairly written on Darnold, and by and large stays true. He can be rattled by pressure, and will lose his composure. If a team can get to him and have something go wrong in the plan, the mistakes and errors will pile up. Rams have a better offense, Seahawks sport a better defense. Should be a good 1.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      Not a defense of him...an understanding of the problem. (something you seem to be lacking right now) 🙄 Bryce in a Canales offense is not an example of a stylistic mismatch, but I can give you one if that helps. When he was playing for the Panthers, Cam Newton sat under OC's running Coryell type offenses. Newton had a big arm and was a strong runner. He fit into that sort of attack very well. Then he goes to New England, where at the time they were running an Earhardt-Perkins system (similar to WCO In a lot of what they do but very different terminology). The Patriot offenses back then were heavily based on timing and rhythm style passing, not something that Newton was especially well suited for. So he washed out at New England, not because he had poor ability (his abilities had been on display here on a regular basis) but because he didn't fit what they wanted to do with their offense. I always go back to Jeff Garcia as one of the prime examples of this issue. Garcia in a WCO looked like a world beater. Put him in any other scheme though...yikes!  So again, Young's issues here have nothing to do with any failure to mesh with Canales. Hell, is say Canales has actually done pretty well at adapting his system to who he has rather than trying to jam square pegs into round holes. Again, it doesn't take an elite level of football knowledge to get this. It's pretty basic. But if you're not even capable of understanding what the real problem is, how are you going to know you to find the right solution? 🤔
