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

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!

      Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.

      Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.
