Jared Patterson

So who was the one to start Pat Eflein and Cam Erving w/o a GM?????

No where near Cams injury stop.

HAHAHAH Imagine a team trading for Erving or Elf that would be hilarious. I wish!!!

Shelton and Dunlap are done. Sorry guys. Decent depth at the very best. Reason we haven't signed them yet is we aren't budging off the league minimum which is smart.

I want Dayron Payne next year to match up w him next year. We won't be spending any money on the dline anytime soon except for Burns and the Commanders paid Allen and cant afford him. Teams have already reached out, but he will likely be expensive.

Another Jordan move. He had been wanting Hayward for years. Tried to get him off the Jazz and tried to trade for him on Boston. Again, his moves are terrible and obvious. You know who else he has been wanting for years.... Westbrook.

Agreed. I was also in here saying the Hayward signing was terrible. I actually said at the exact time we signed him it was worse than the Batum deal and got roasted.... Id argue now, it's just as bad or worse. Also was in here hating the Rozier extension. That was just as stupid, dudes a sixth man at best and plays zero defense. Agreed on Bridges, nothing they can do about that.

I think we should do everything we can to re-sign him, I just don't know if his side will want to and its hard to blame him. We had a make or break offseason this year and crapped the bed big time.

Not saying we wouldn't get a ton back. We would. Im just saying if we want to keep him we better make some more moves than freakin Williams.... He/His handlers/Dad would have no problem asking out and would any of us blame him?

Why would he not force his way out? I would expect someone like him and his dad to want out before Ayton.... And look at the differences in teams. If you know basketball you would realize the NBA is wayyy to player driven and its about impossible to win a championship in a small market, unless you have Giannias in a year w/o Lebron/Kawaii hurt. Its why no one watches the NBA anymore. The ratings are horrendous. People talk about not watching baseball, but the Braves 7 game series was more watched than this Warriors series. Sad. NBA is more popular oversees these days and that's facts.

Absolutely not. He has no one next to him that can take on blocks. He is basically forced to play nose tackle. I dont think he will become a super star, but he will definitely make some pro bowls and is well above average. He needs another big guy next to him. Whats he supposed to do with Burns, IIaniodis, and Hynes next to him? He is going to have to be the only one taking on all the blocks to at least try to stop the run. Also- takes on a ton of doubles when teams run against us.

Wiseman 100% would've been the pick if Ball and he were there. Thats proof right there I know double more than you do. Im not saying Wiseman would've been the right pick, I'm saying Jordan 110% was going to take Wiseman and was considering trading up...... Go back and look how obsessed we were with wanting Wiseman. I still think Wiseman will be a great player. Def would destroy Williams. I think everyone in here would admit it was a blessing in disguise we got Melo b/c Jordan was taking Wiseman had they both been available. That was literally reported. Also, I hope I am wrong, but Id be shocked if Lamelo resigns here. Why would he? Williams lol....

I agree. I am just sick and tired of the Hornets organization making poor decision after poor decision.

Hahahah just wanted to say I played ball before. I know how goofy that's sounds, but the one dude said I was unathletic and don't know anything about basketball.

Yes, don't forget Teddy which we signed for no reason. Had we not done that we could've had our choice of TLaw, Wilson, Lance, etc. And who in their right mind would pay Teddy that much.......

I am a BIG Christensen fan. I think he has potential to be a very good offensive lineman. He is extremely athletic and smart. Only thing screwing him up right now is Rhule trying to play him at every oline position and not starting him over freaking Michael Jordan and Cam Erving.....Stick him at one spot and he will thrive. Now, if that spot is guard (which it should be) now that we have Icky he will take a year probably and need to gain some weight, but his potential is very high to me.

Duren was the only good player on that team and was doubled all game. Williams was strictly a lob threat 6th option on a much more talented team than any other team in college on paper.... Do you understand that....??? I cant believe you said I don't know basketball lol. I moved to scouting/evaluating the NFL Draft b/c bball is too easy and obvious to predict. Could give you my top 10 positional players at every position including kicker and no its not copying PFF or the internet. Im a huge NBA/NFL Draft nerd/junkie. LOL Dookie.

Maybe, I can evaluate talent...... Ive seen all 3 play and 1 of those is not in the same class as the others.

"fans" like you keep allowing and wanting mediocrity. I am trying to teach your type about sports. Like I said bet me. Yes, Jordan was the best player ever, but worst owner ever too. And don't act like you're a UNC fan.... Only Duke fans liked the Williams pick and not the smart Duke fans I know.

Also, I started for my high school team South Meck grad of 2015.... You have never played. So I actually went to UNC, started bball in high school and you can look at any of my Panthers/Hornets draft history in here. Tell me when Ive been wrong? Mark Williams is not good sorry. And when have the Hornets ever made a good draft pick? Had Wiseman been available he was the pick not Ball.

I went to UNC buddy. You are 100% a Duke fan. I see right through your crap. Ill make the same bet with you buddy.. We will see who is right. Lets make a bet, if Williams is better than Eason and or Duren I delete my account if he is not you delete yours. Down?

Okay, we will see who is right. Lets make a bet, if Williams is better than Eason and or Duren I delete my account if he is not you delete yours. Down?

Yes, he was ass......

Also- not just Duren look at Eason and everyone else picked around there. I guess you are taking Williams over all of them. I admire your Duke blind fandom, but this is the NBA. Your guy Poalo can play I will give you that, but not Williams. Sorry.

Nick Richards was out, you didn't watch Duren b/c he dominated his conference and destroyed Houston who was just as good as your Dookies. Duren is better at every aspect including defense. Do you not see how slow and uncoordinated Williams is??? How is he going to guard a guard in a pick n roll. The game has moved away from players like him. Duren is 10xs the athlete and bet you didn't see him dominate Williams in high school being nearly 3 years younger.
