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

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
