I know the East is a pretty poor conference but I gotta say, this season doesn't appear to be a fluky one for us.

 

  • Kemba Walker and Al Jefferson have really stepped up to make this a formidable squad. You can just see it in the way Kemba plays..he's really brought his game this year and Big Al is just a dominant force.  
  • The team has strong role players. Particularly in Hendo. A Good 6th man to have in a lineup.
  • And a very important point: I think we found a coach to have for a bit in Clifford

 

If they can just hit the mark on a draft for once, we could have a very solid Charlotte Hornets next season with 4-5 seed potential.  There was a mini slide recently but our wins this past month or so have really given me confidence in this team.  I like what is forming and it's sweet to have good basketball back in the QC.   

 

My 2 cents.

There isn't an electrifying young star like Larry Johnson or Baron Davis, but this team is very fun to watch as a whole. Kemba is pretty exciting and is a very good player but I don't think he has the high ceiling those guys had. Big Al isn't flashy but he is a flat out monster. He is big time and elite. Other than LeBron & Durant there isn't any other player leaps & bounds better than Big Al. Clifford is a good coach and has them playing great team basketball.

I agree.  Detroit needs to just keep losing and we can definitely get someone good in the draft.

I too like where this team is headed.  If all things continue trending the way they have been, the official "Bobcats" may get a playoff victory or two before the name is retired into NBA history forever.  I have often wondered how long it will take for the nation to forget there ever was a Bobcats.  Looking back, it will be like the Hornets started here in the 80's and never left. lol

Kemba and Big Al are 2 players we can build around for sure. I'm excited about the Charlotte Hornets 2.0 !!

 

Sign Heyward and if the Pistons pick is #9 and we get the rights to it we can draft a very solid player or even use our other pick to trade up for one of the top picks.

 

Just feel this team's in a lot better shape now than a year ago, I have faith Cho and Co. know how to put together a winning program.

 

Hell, even Cody Zeller has turned a corner and could end up being a very reliable player.

      Major Concerns with this team…with numbers

      By Stumpy · Posted

      The good news is that we are pretty uniquely well established to address all of our needs this season. We have $14m real cap space, and something like $40m in trade deadline cap space. Not sure exactly how that works out. But, we have the room to absorb any bad contracts. With recent rule changes regarding retention, that went into effect this season, we now have a huge advantage in the trade market.  On top of that, while we do have obvious needs, we also have a glut of talent in certain areas that we struggle to find ice time for. We are over-stocked on scrappy talented lil-guys, strong defensively sound 3rd liners and shutdown left shot dmen. Whether it's a package or separate deals, idk. But, one of each from Stank/Blake/Nads, Erob/Carrier/KK/Jank, and Walker/Nystrom; throw in some 1st round picks (and frankly any other prospects they want) and we should be able to come out with a 1b to pair with Bussi and either a 2c with size or a 2c and size.   TL/DR We got the money, you got the stuff?

      I don’t  think 6’4 was ever considered small or undersized. Baby hands tho, yes that was his thing That’s an interesting idea, like an optical illusion? Sounds like you have personal experience with this!

      in the 25' draft the Carolina Panthers had hired Brandt Tillis someone who actually understood how to build a successful team & build through the draft .  this team was yes mismanaged for years prior to Brandt Tillis joining the team in 25' & rarely done anything right in the draft outside occaionaly getting lucky on an UDFA such as Jalen Coker who's dad coincidentally happened to be a huge Carolina Panthers fan, hint hint  ...just saying
