O-Line Depth

Figured this was worth it's own thread.  Rivera just announced Bruce Campbell is out with torn rotator, likely for the season. He wasn't great but he was our own only proven backup at Tackle.

 

Our RG position is still up in the air (likely Williams but still unknown).

 

At this point, I think we need to pickup 2-3 vet players at minimum to feel comfortable during the season.  Going to be very difficult because all teams are going to want O-line depth.

Sure, I do too.  Point is, we are are in serious need for some O-line and we may be forced to spend money we were intending to save.  Not a good position to be in.  We have lost any/all leverage we had with some of the FA prospects.

We need to pick up as many RG/RT's as we can get.

And at least someone who can pretend to be a LT. There's Gross and.... Nate Chandler now? I've been saying it for months, but if Gross misses anytime, our left side will be even more garbage than our right side. Amini isn't good enough to anchor that side.

Yeah, we need a lot of upgrades and a lot of backups. I think Gettleman saved money for just this reason.

The OL will be the downfall of this team. You are limited in how far the rest of your team can take you with no offensive line. You can't hide it. I think they can find something to improve the situation but the whole thing is a gamble.

    • After last season, it was the same question. And the answer most people came to was "If he doesn't make the playoffs, he's gone." He made the playoffs. No matter how it was done, we made it to the playoffs. He's safe. He's going to have a chance to keep working this out, even if next season isn't a playoff one.  I think we'll do better next year than we did this season. There's something being built here.
    • The NBA is a very fickle league. Kon is one of the hottest rookies in years and beyond just his play on the court he is a very steady competitor and that translates to the rest of the team. That has been a glaring absence with the culture of this franchise through the bulk of the LaMelo Ball years that's just being completely blunt and realistic. The enigma of LaMelo Ball is he is entering year 6 and still either red hot or ice cold. We need him to find that sweet spot. Logic dictates the Hornets will want to see this core again next year. But the clock is beyond ticking at this point. It's put up or shut up. Especially considering what the Thunder managed to do recently. I'm hopeful they can keep these wins rolling in and get some much needed playoff experience under their belts which will help substantially.
    • I think as long as the Panthers are competitive with Canales they should keep him. Pepper needs to repair his/the teams image as a place prized free agents aren't hesitant to consider. Just dont do any crazy poo for a few years.
