The fuggin people on this board.  Lamelo is worth every cent of a max deal for this franchise.  I find it amazing we were able to get him to resign here.  

 

Exactly! This offer was expected, the concern was if he would take it or not.

Lamelo is a superstar.  We gotta get talented enough to get this guy in the playoffs.  Will be so fun to see him on that stage.

LOL…and is 22 yrs old.  So stoked he resigned here

I can answer the question for everyone. Not many currently playing or ever have played that have put up what Lamelo Ball did at 22.

 

7 players in the history of the NBA have averaged 25, 8 and 6 a game for a season. 

That goes up a few players at 23, 8 and 6 but not many. Even fewer that have done it before turning 25. To not want him here, it's crazy.

The Hornets need an on the court leader badly.  I really don’t know who that vet is but Kup needs to find that guy.  This team just needs to figure out how to win and the current coach isn’t that leader IMO

The young talent here is very high level

They need to replace Clifford as well.

Firing another coach after 1 year definitely isnt the call. We already have a hard enough time finding someone to coach this team, maybe we shouldnt fire every single coach after a bad season that was mostly out of his control.

Agree but with who. We couldn't find any one to take the job last time.  Maybe that changes once mj is gone

MJ having less influence, Melo locked down for 5 years, and drafting Miller should make it more attractive IMO.

Fair enough, I just read through the morning headlines and it seems he was getting the max deserved or not.  Just crazy to me he is going to be getting 50 million per and they havent won poo yet with him.  Sure he is young but his production is getting wins.

He’s still super young and the hope is his game gets more polished as he matures as a player.  Also he needs to stay healthy.

But the talent is undeniable and it’s not every day this franchise gets a player of his caliber.  You can pick in the top 3 for years and not hit on a player like him.

Its a bit risky to build around him because of the missed time, but I don’t really see how moving on from Lamelo would be a better option for this team at this juncture.

With everyone healthy this is a team that could make the playoffs.  And the core of the roster is so young that they could improve significantly over the next couple seasons.  Maybe we can get a good coach too.

      Best to see Icky in the position we drafted him in to see if he continues making progress. All signs point to Canales/Morgan staying on board and so decisions on whether to move him elsewhere on the line will probably be done during the offseason. Personally, I'm more concerned about a more long-term answer at safety and Moton's spot. Love the guy but he's a FA after 2026 and he'll be 32 by then. Kinda has that sign of having to let a player walk one year too early.

      All I am saying is IMO if we were going to rework or extend his deal I think it would have happened by now.   Just feels like they are going to bite the bullet and let it run its course

      I mean me speaking honestly per normal- RT is not even on my radar for needing fixing....it sorta should be, but I feel its around 20s in "hey this need attention". Motown could have another 5 years of solid play leftd in his body and mind. I know something needs to done with his contract, its had money pushed back into the late years like three times now. He got like a 38 million cap number cause rhule, frittterererer and this past season Dan deferred money.  I think he's been "healthy" for most of his career and seems to work hard at being able to play. He's a good player to have on the team. I got no idea how this plays out.   We need to have friendly bet about Christs next contract- I say he gets 8million per and 40% guaranteed. If he gets below that, you are the true kungfu master- deal?
