We say this every year but a healthy Hornets team could be fun next year. It probably won’t be but it could be.

G - Ball, Mann, Simpson

G - Miller, Green, Smith, Jeffries

F - Knecht, Williams

F - Bridges, Salaun, Okogie

C - Nurkic, Diabate

Add in one of Flagg, Harper, or Bailey and things could be looking up.

Next year you move Bridges and Ball and build around the draft picks from 26-28 and finally full commit to a rebuild. Ball can score and pass but is a huge negative on defense that’s hard to cover up and likely gets a return of 3-5 firsts. Can get another one or two from Bridges being traded. Giving the Hornets anywhere from 10-14 first round draft picks over the next 5-6 years. 
 

just my take on what they’ll end up doing.

Next year I think the goal is to get one of those top 3 guys and give it one more go with the corp they have. If they go through all this injury crap again then I think they’ll blow it up and everyone not named Miller, Knecht, and their 2025 pick could be had.

And I could see Bridges being moved regardless if they get one of Flagg or Bailey.

Some players are just soft and have soft injuries. Seems to me if Ball committed himself to taking care of his body his ankles wouldn't be so weak that a sprained ankle keeps him out for a month

That is my problem, Ball just down not take it seriously and will stay hurt. Sad that we pay him so much to sit on the bench injured more than half of the time.

He’s an immature child. He has talent but doesn’t seem particularly interested in achieving anything as a professional basketball player. Just a stat sheet stuffer when he does play.

I'm done with his poo to be honest. Ship him else where and bring Dan Morgan in as gm bc we need some fuging Dawgs on this team. I can't imagine Anthony Edwards sitting for a month because he sprained his ankle. I'm keeping Miller fug the rest of them

    • They are obviously waiting on for someone o the Seahawks or Patriots staff.  If they wanted Evero, it would be a done deal already. The only silver lining is if the guy they are waiting for turns them down.  In that instance I do think Evero is their backup plan.
    • Evero to the Raiders makes zero sense unless the OC he's pitching them is a failed HC who doesn't have interest in trying for it again. They're a team about to draft a QB #1 overall, developing him is job #1 for the new coach/staff.  Hiring a DC with a young up and coming OC wouldn't make any sense, because then you risk losing that OC to a HC job after maybe just a year or two and that young QB has to change system, play caller, etc. It's why hiring an offensive minded coach makes the only sense.  The Raiders have to make the right hire/pick with this HC hire and #1 pick combo because of that division they're in, it's a gauntlet and you can't screw up this opportunity.  
    • 1. Sadly, it's just too early to tell with Icky. And the draft will have come and gone before we have anything, FA, too probably. Njiman was good, but there's dollars to be invested there as well. This is really our biggest puzzle to figure out. And Moton on the other flank is getting long in the tooth, too.  2. Coker: Pay the man WR2 money.  3. Most WRs take three years before you really know what you've got. We'll know for sure by the end of this one and he's still on a relatively inexpensive rookie contract. Now if someone comes calling for a good, good trade... 4. This is the make or break for good teams vs bad teams. And depth development is essential. We've had a bit of that but there isn't a spot on our line that doesn't have worries except for maybe on guard.  5. I think you draft the best ILB, the smartest one in the first round and don't look back. People lost their poo here on this board when we "wasted" a pick on Luke Kuechly.  6. Yeah, I think Chuba is a workhorse. But we need to be more decisive in his use. Still not sure Rico doesn't come back next season, too. He'll get to see the marketplace first, though, and we'll offer similar numbers to him.
