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

      Be careful what you wish for

      Like that matters. That's the first thing. I suggested that it's probably better to let a QB sit and learn, and that's what I meant. Secondly, in what planet am I making excuses, my friend, or engaging in any mental gymnastics in Bryce Young's defense? As I have said, I don't care if he turns into Mighty Mouse, it's time for him to go. In my opinion, he's too short to be a successful QB in the NFL. I have seen enough. I'd rather trade him and take my chances with Hooker, at least he's more of a prototypical size and can actually see where and why he's throwing the ball.

      About that schedule.

      By ok2h8pep · Posted

      There is a scenario where our team comes out prepared to play football instead of shitting the bed for the first quarter. Every bad Bryce game seems to start with him looking incompetent - the OL looking incompetent - and the defense looking incompetent.  Boom, down 14 before we know what hit us. Imagine a world where we come prepared and play with a lead, and Bryce gets to fulfill his ceiling by managing a game instead of playing catch up. He's bad, but upon reflection he is not Clausen bad.  He can move the team down the field when he gets 4 - 5 seconds in a clean pocket against a soft zone.  I don't think Clausen could do that.

      You are literally naming almost entirely instances where they are sitting behind a well established if not star player that was already on the team. That's a different scenario entirely.  Listen, if you want to make all the mental gymnastics for excuses, have at it. I think the facts are clear, Bryce Young is not an NFL caliber player. Furthermore, no amount of pine time nor change of scenery is likely to change that.
