Only news so far is the X-ray was clean. 

 

Injuries are the only thing holding this team back, with everyone on the court they were 7-6 in December. 

Wait until they actually develop some chemistry. Could be a fun team to watch if they stay healthy.

Hornets beat the Bulls a few days ago and just blew out the Thunder in OKC. They are consistently inconsistent but the culture seems to be shifting with the emergence of the young core.

Saw somewhere that we're 9-4 this year with Kon, Miller and LaMelo in the lineup. 6-6 in our last 12 despite several injuries in that stretch too. At this point it really comes down to health -- especially LaMelo and to a lesser degree of concern Brandon. I think the roster is awfully close to being a playoff team (top 6 seed), offensively we are there but need more defensive help, especially a legit starting C (Kalk when healthy and Moussa are both fine players but neither should be starting right now for a team with playoff aspirations). Not sold on Lee but more games like last night and I'll start to believe obviously. Kon is an insanely good player period, let alone for a rookie. Great draft pick there. And Sion was a huge find, he already may be our best defensive player, although that's not saying much. 

 

Seems like every time I say it the Hornets Hornet, but things seem to be finally looking up for this team.

Yep, we still need a legit starting center and we traded Jalen Duren for a bunch of guys who aren’t on the roster and never even made enough impact to trade. One of those guys is playing college basketball now and he’s not even good in college despite spending years as a “pro”. What a joke.

didnt watch the game but from the boxscore they shot like complete ass and lost by 1 point to a decent team.  They seem to be turning it around but agree Lee needs to go.  From a talent perspective they are a top 6 team in the east this year.

Trae Young just got traded for a can of pringles essentially (I don’t consider getting a 34yr old McCollum a good return). Mid 20’s ball dominant point guard that doesn’t defend. Doesn’t bode well for Lamelo’s trade value.

      Who is going to take a shot at Malik Willis

      By cranky · Posted

      So Willis had a good game against a poor defense and all of a sudden he is worth 50 million and is guaranteed to be better than Young. LOL I know he looked good in the 3 games he started, and I think he will have success long term, but anyone signing him up for a long term contract for 50 million is taking a huge risk.

      Is he really though? Rivera was past his prime and probably shouldn't have even started 2019 so his firing wasn't really unexpected or unwarranted. Rhule lasted two and a half years which was about one year too long in my opinion. Bringing him back that third year certainly wasn't impulsive and I would say Tepper was more patient than he should have been. Wilks finished out that third season and did pretty good but most everyone could see he really wasn't anything more than an intern HC. Bringing him back was not the long term answer so not bringing him back was the correct call. Hiring Reich was a mistake from the beginning and he recognized that fairly quickly. I am sure he knew he was going to catch a lot of sh*t for firing him so quickly ( and boy did he ) but it was absolutely the right thing to do given everything that was going on. The firing may have looked impulsive, but I think it was him recognizing he had royally f*ck up and just dealt with it instead of letting it fester.  That brings us to Canales. 2025 was only his second season and yet he delivered 8 wins and the NFC South title. And while that might not sound great, given the lack of talent and cap space they started with, it's a strong step in the right direction. I couldn't imagine Tepper not being pleased with their progress given the crap the Panthers' have been though under his ownership.
