Bond seems to have potential, but some of you seem a little too stoked over a player who could go either way.  

 

G-man has done an overall adequate job so far at acquiring talent, but let's not go overboard. What he does through the following next two drafts will give us a more complete picture by which to judge his success.

Folks are "Stoked" over Bond for two very important reasons. One, things are going our way right now. The breaks, bounces, and WTF? moments are all, or mostly, going our way. So why not for Bond as well. If we can get Chandler to play decent, what should we be able to do with a kid who already has the basics?

Two, he gots that cool last name.

To be honest, I don't see Gman needing that long. He has proven to know talent, and definitely knows value. He has already filled in the bottom of the roster well, cuz depth is as good as its ever been round here. And he improved that Cap mess.

So far, he has proven to be capable of getting us where we want to go. I see no reason to think he will suddenly revert to a hurndog mentality.

How he addresses the O-line is huge in my book. As is finding a Stud at WR, and CB. Fill those three holes this off-season, and we are scary good. Throw in a TE that can actually play and produce, we are true Super Bowl Contenders.

Gonna be nuts up in here this off-season. Gettlemen will have had the whole year to evaluate, he should sit down, write out his plan, and let's get this party started.

Find us our late 1st round Stud WR. Grab that Stud CB in the 2nd. Bring in a LT for the future, and to move Gross to RT. A TE that can produce would be icing on the pie.

Can he do that in one off-season? Why the fug Not? After all, things are going our way, why not take advantage of that fact.

Of course, I reserve the right to qualify this statement at any time if Gman looks to be faltering.

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      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.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      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.
