No LaMelo Ball no Brandon Miller tonight.

Probably going to get pretty ugly in Atlanta.

Can we trade Lemoñjello and Miles and hope we can hit on a draft pick or two? We're never winning with Ball because he doesn't actually give a fug about playing basketball

Kon was great again tonight against ATL, but of course, with the game on the line at the end, the ball ends up in Miles' hands and he air balls a fadeaway three that never had a chance.  It's so hard being a Hornets fan.  I'm over Miles and Melo at this point, give me an enforcer down low that can stop teams from killing us with layups, and get me a durable point guard who can feed Kon and Brandon and let's fuging go.

"Charlotte Hornets star LaMelo Ball is reportedly frustrated by the team’s lack of forward progress, according to NBA insider Jake Fischer."

Apparently in his mind being perpetually injured and playing less than Gordon Hayward while on a supermax contract has no effect on the forward progress of the franchise.

I think he is denying these takes, at least the ones about him wanting out of Charlotte, but you’re right - if anything he should be frustrated at his glass ankles just like the rest of the fanbase is. 
 

the best ability is availability and he doesn’t have it. I’m over it man.

I don't think the Clippers have anything to make a trade work on their own, but LaMelo to LA would be nice for all parties involved. 

I still think the answer is getting Brooklyn to bite. Nic Claxton and filler for LaMelo. Nets get a "star", Hornets get a good big man and something else...as well as off the contract. 

The Nets will likely try and flip MPJ at some point, who I wouldn't want, but a nice 3 team trade could help everyone solve some problems. 

LaMelo to Brooklyn, Nic Claxton and Kuminga to Charlotte, MPJ to GSW...toss in filler wherever.

      Perfect example why Zod said they are getting rid of the Tinderbox. 😉 Segmenting which swallow has the best airspeed velocity is what divides us! Bravo Zod.

      Who needs to step up in 2026

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      I've been reading around on different websites about our team and OTAs and minicamps.  There are several members of this team that need to step up.  These are a few of mine.  Please feel free to add to the iist. 1. Bryce Young, Obviously the No. 1 person who needs to step up.  Bryce has been given everything a QB could ask for.  We have a top tier offensive line. Big WRs that can get open and make plays.  A decent running game.   Over tha past couple of years we have really put enough players in position to help him.  He has to be the guy to step up and utitlize his players. 2. Jaelan Phillips, Just because of the massive contract we gave him.  He has to be the leader of the pass rush.  He has to be in double digit sacks or the money isn't worth it.  He has to bring Scourton and the rest of the group to the top. 3. Ejiro Evero, Two years ago he had the statically worst defense in NFL history but was given a reprieve because we focused primarily on the offensive side of the ball for Young.  Last year we improved and we just didn't have enough to stop elite QBs.  This year he has been given just about everything a defensive coordinator could ask for.  IMO he has 4 cornerbacks that have impressed this offseason.  He received solid help for Brown with Hunter and Phillips. Our weakest area, LB Corp, we signed Lloyd to solidify that group.  With all the tools he has this season he needs to show why we kept him after 2024.  IMO he has no excuses this season.   Lastly, IMO is X. Legette. He has shown sporadic flashes but nothing to justify being a first round pick.  The WR room is stacked this season and any number of players from that group could make the 53 man roster. XL is going to have to show out this preseason.  At minimum, he performs well enough to possibly get a trade to a team needing a WR.  I think with T-Mac, Coker and Brazzell in the mix for the top three position we would be wise to utilize the remaining WR spots for players with a larger ceiling than XL.  Training Camp and Preseason will sort them out and IMO if XL doesn't flat out show out he's done in Carolina.  Feel free to add to this list.  And of course, your opinion.

      I'm all for it. Improved moderation sounds great. A number of thoughtful dudes and I believe 100% of the thoughtful women that used to post here have been gone for years.
