All Hail Cho The Great and MJ The Magnificent

The reason they didn't want him was because they didn't want to pay anyone with that pick. They took a foreign player to save them money to go after Melo. Cho knew they would take a foreigner so there was no way Pj would go to them.

By taking a foreigner, they can 'stash' him away for the future while he finished his contract in Europe. He just used smarts to dictate exactly what they would do.

Kinda what i was getting at. Not gonna take a day one NBA player while they have harden and are trying to obtain melo. As you said. Great move on Cho's part.

I believe the only thing MJ is doing is staying out of Cho's way last night,..... Which was the right thing to do. Cho has proven he knows what to do and MJ had proven in prior drafts that he does not.

MJ is going exactly what a good owner should do. Hire god and talented people ....and then letting them do their job.

He should use his name and connections to help lure FA's. But, that is it.

I'm with you. When you hire god and surround him with talent, you just need to let him do his job ;)

With the draft and the upcoming free agency, the Hornets now are starting to have depth and flexibility. We now have various possibilities with our line-ups.

 

One lineup I really want to see for some reason is this defensive line-up. Of course this is not my choice bc Big Al isn't in but I would be interested to see how the other team scores.

 

PG: Kemba

SG: Jeff Taylor

SF: MKG

PF: Vonleh

C: Biz

 

* Also my FA signings would make this lineup even better and more balanced.

PG: Livingston

SG: Lance Stephenson (who I didn't want but am leaning towards again)

    • Where did I once say we should draft him because he's a projected Top 5 pick?   That's one of my many problems with you, your reading comprehension skills are very poor (and/or you just don't care to use your brain, one of the two).  I solely used that to point out that me pushing T-Mac isn't some absurd homerism, that at least I'm pushing someone who is deserving of a Top 5 draft pick. And despite me explaining it to you numerous times, you still seem to not grasp how QB's get placed in mock drafts vs draft grades.  They are treated entirely different in mock drafts to any other position, because of how teams generally treat them in the draft because of how important the position is. Literally any other position except QB, mock drafts generally follow draft grades with some team needs factored in.  But with QB's, draft grades are generally disregarded and they ALWAYS put a few QB's at the very top of the draft, because that's just usually what happens.  The exact same thing happened in 2022 with guys like Pickett and Willis widely being Top 10 picks in mock drafts, only for Pickett to fall to what, around 20?, and Willis going in the 2nd round (and even being the 3rd QB if I remember correctly too). The overwhelming majority of draft experts are saying there isn't a high first round grade on these QB's, but they still get mocked there because they're trying to predict how the draft will actually go. That's been my point the entire time, reaching for a QB in a bad QB draft when you have a roster as depleted of talent as ours, does not tend to work out well. And I've never said I'm not open to other players, I've very explicitly said that if a QB or DE stands out come draft time, I'm open to that discussion.  That I'd be open to Hunter as a CB but I prefer a WR over a CB at the top of the draft.  But we're also not talking about the 15th pick here where there could realistically be all sorts of possible picks to discuss.  With the first pick, there really would only be a small handful of options, T-Mac is head and shoulders above any other given our current roster and state of the franchise in general.
    • TMac is good, but he isn't pick 1 on a WR good.  Last year he would be below Nabers and Williams.  This year you could argue Hunter is the better WR.  WR at 1 better be a Calvin Johnson not a WR that disappears some games in college...
    • So because he's a projected top 5 pick he's should be the guy we draft.   Yet you say the other 2 QBs who are projected top 5 picks are not worth it because you think they aren't that good.   That's my problem with you. You just seem to only care about Tmac. I have yet to see you suggest anyone outside of Tmac. At least I'm open to other prospects.
