Gotta commit to the tank this year. Sit LaMelo out for a few months to let that ankle get back to full strength. Trade Rozier/Hayward and give the young guys minutes. Sign Miles now so his suspension happens this season not next year. LaMelo, Bridges, Victor W is a great core and we have a bunch of other promising/exciting young players to build around them and would have a ton of cap space.

Agree all around except you know Clifford won't play the young ones. Melo is gone the first chance he gets. This team is snake bitten.

Everything related to this team is MJs fault. He is easily one of the worst owners in the country.

Pretty messed up that this team has been cursed ever since they moved to New Orleans.  We can’t compete in this league

No one wants to come hear. No stars. Small market. Bad ownership. Only way we get good is if a couple top players decided they want to come here and win.

Melo is 100% a star. Just hurt. Shitty luck this season regarding health of the team as a whole/Bridges situation. 
 

It’s not panic time, it’s just that injuries to all our top players at the same time make us look like ass, and makes it feel hopeless currently. 
 

Better draft picks/Mark Williams getting a year to develop/emergence of Richards.

There is hope and a future.

agree with all except Miles...let the ship sail.

First pick is going to be a 7'2'' guy who is getting all the hype...will be 19, but pairing him with Melo could change the franchise, especially with our youngs getting some pt this year.  But unless we pick first, we won't get him.

Man, Miles is gonna wind up playing somewhere and probably doing very well. It'd be a mistake competitively to just let him go. If we can try to trade him for something great but you can't just get rid of him for nothing. Too big of a setback on the court when we have the ability to keep him. Especially when we'll likely be able to keep him at least for a few years at a HUGE discount compared to what his play on the court deserves.

Gotta get rid of Hayward, his albatross of a contract for little to no impact is Nic Tatum level.

Also, have to either get rid of Oubre or sit his ass to teach him accountability.  He always seems to do the wrong thing for the game.  Even when he has good stats, he loses the game by taking ill-advised, stupid, unnecessarily bad shots.

MJ may turn out to the the worst owner of this era if he doesn't take a huge turn for the better soon.  His meddling has killed any momentum this team gains time and time again.

Hornets deserve the number one pick. NBA is riddled with rigging the draft it’s time to give us our due. But Steve will start Plumlee over Wemby
