Yes, I was/am a Scoot Stan. And I understand the sentiment but after 15+ years of perpetual losing, atrocious drafting, poor roster management, etc., the fan base has an argument with the decisions the front office makes. When the GM says the owner has final say on all draft picks, we can read the tea leaves and infer that MJ is heavily influencing the drafting strategy. Maybe, but we drafted for fit and then immediately drafted guards and I have a fundamental issue with that. If we drafted Scoot, many of you (not necessarily you) would be “crying” about his performance too. The hornets have a proven track record of drafting the wrong guy. The best player in college basketball as many of you have proclaimed should be dominating the SL. You’re a Facebook fan.

The burden is on the Hornets to demonstrate they are making the correct choices. When is the last time the team made the playoffs? Actually, when is the last time they won a playoff game. They have objectively the worst track record of player scouting and drafting over the last 15 years. We lucked into Melo - we wanted Weismann lol. The Hornets have conditioned this mindset and the fan base is rotted. I am going to assume we whiffed on another pick until it’s proven we did not. I will not willingly follow the blind.

It's more walkable than both Dallas and Houston imo. The reality is, most cities in the US outside of the northeast corridor are not what we would consider walkable. I believe Charlotte comes in dead last in relation to their peers. And there's not much to be done. Urban density would have to have been established a long time ago.

I’m sick and tired of hearing about Millers 41 point game against South fuging Carolina. Where the majority of his points came from spot up threes. If it’s going to take murder allegations to motivate you, I don’t want you. The #2 pick SHOULD be dominating SL. Period. Hornets going to Hornet.

Agreed, I'm over it. Bring in TDA and trade Pesce for a scoring forward or some picks and prospects we can unload at the TDL.

Austin is a cool city. I could live there and it's only an hour from San Antonio. I like it as much as Nashville.

Over a million people do. Houston is a suburban nightmare with no identity and a worse public transit crisis than Charlotte. Same with Dallas. San Antonio and Austin are the best cities in Texas and it’s not close - they are extremely walkable and both provide charm. Plus the food. Charlotte and Raleigh could both learn from them.

Brother-in-law is stationed at Norfolk.

I’m VA Beach for the 4th and it looks like half of Gastonia migrated here

Instead of saying he’s right, explain how he’s right. He’s a dork either way.

Adam Gold is a dork dude and hardly a reliable source

That’s a weird tweet to say pretty much…nothing. And Gold is not the most plugged in person.

Hope this is true. Has to be the most talented team in franchise history and maybe on paper the best team in the league, which we were close to being anyway. Sucks we have to play in the Metro.

-26, 0 assits and 2 to's, 4 fouls and 1/4 with the most minutes on the team certainly doesn't look good. i have no faith he was the right pick simply because it's the hornets. nonetheless, way too early to make any type of prediction.

Can you link those rumors please lol

Jarvis will score 60+ points this year.

I’d love that tbh. Somebody is on the move that’s for sure.

With what cap space

Still looking for that top-6 game changer but these are moves designed to move the needle in the playoffs for sure. Glad to see Freddie and Rants back.

Sounds like Pesce is probably gone

Look what NJD is doing. They are not settling and aggressively improving their roster. Tired of the Canes hoarding draft picks and prospects.

I mean if there’s retention, yeah. I’d rather have EK on a shorter contract than Pesce on a 8-9 year contract personally.

Devils trade a 3rd and a no name for Tofolli. Do something, Don.

Please explain how that would work. The NHL is not the NBA.
