Another Win


Recommended Posts

Current Roster:

G - LaMelo Ball, Collin Sexton, K.J. Simpson (two-way)

G - Kon Knueppel, Pat Connaughton, Liam McNeeley, Nick Smith, DaQuan Jeffries (non-guaranteed), Damion Baugh (two-way)

F - Brandon Miller, Josh Green, Josh Okogie (non-guaranteed), Sion James

F - Miles Bridges, Grant Williams, Tidjane Salaun

C - Moussa Diabate (non-guaranteed), Ryan Kalkbrenner, Mason Plumlee


Simpson and James most likely project as our two way guys and it’s unlikely Jeffries or Baugh make the roster.

That puts the Hornets at a roster of 15 but they can open up another spot by waiving Okogie.

Tre Mann back on a 3 year deal

Damn, that’s legit.  Last I saw, we were letting him test FA after acquiring Sexton.  I didn’t think they were even gonna attempt to bring him back.  Love that as long as he can keep his back in good shape.  I have degenerative discs, so it can be a task…. Love the move though.

and although I joke about the lighter complexion of our recent pickups, the I’m legit kind of excited about the UConn kid.

I really thought we were gonna get Ayton.  That center position is vomit-worthy right now.  The Williams and Nurkic trades make zero sense without some big move to follow.

No disagreement about the state of the center position but Nurkic had no future here and Mark had one foot out the door before we tried and failed to trade him the first time. After he was basically a shell. And let's be honest. Even before the failed trade Mark was simply not motivated to get out onto the basketball court. We can blame the Hornets for plenty of mismanagement over the years but Mark Williams failure here is ultimately on him.

While Ayton is talented and still relatively young if the word from Portland is true he was basically a more outwardly toxic version of Mark Williams. I mean does that sound like a good addition to our team that is trying to instill a better culture? The Lakers are going to find out for themselves. Let them be the guinea pig.

I wonder if the Hornets view Kon and McNeeley more as forwards and plan to ship off Green/Okogie/Smith for center help. I hope they don’t plan to ship off Sexton as I like what he brings to the team.

(2) G - Ball, Mann, Simpson (two-way)

(3) G - Sexton, Dinwiddie, Connaughton

(3) F - Miller, Knueppel, McNeeley, James (two-way)

(3) F - Bridges, Williams, Salaun

(3) C - Diabate, Kalkbrenner, Plumlee

Ayton would have been a nice get but I didn’t think it was really possible he would come here.  He is from Cali and seems to prefer that part of he country

    • I think Bryce balls out again and the Panthers win in a close one.  Panthers will have a defender shadow CMC the whole game so I expect he'll be contained to under 100 yards.  
    • yeah, Steve was basically like on any actual topic that approached his flaws/problems.....89 went with the long winded, try to sound like a wise man strategy of just basically just pleading the 5th (and sprinkling in the idea that others could of been wrong or wrong too).   also, in terms of the assaults and stuff like that....it feels like old 89, I feel has sort of forgotten his well-documented confessions and apologies about that aspect and era of his and was trying to re-write his story/image in hindsight.   And in all honesty, it seemed like a PR move on the twitter/cheating stuff also attempting to play himself as not the bad guy some think with the intentional vague suggestions. and the Pivot and all these athlete moves to basically take the reigns and power from traditional outlets exposes they have just as bad as flaws if not more often than the traditional media folks.  I mean I do like the free form long talk when dudes are telling stories but all this stuff is largely flawed and controlled PR often. 
    • Sadly, I agree and I’m a huge Melo fan. Might be time to ship him out. Don’t want to make the same mistakes the Pels did. They should’ve gotten rid of Zion two years ago.
