Micic, Mann, and Williams made a huge difference.

Bertans was solid and Curry will be just fine.

Looking to the future. Most of the team will be in tact for next year with the potential to add a high prized FA along with a top draft pick. If the Hornets wanted to, they could add someone like Siakam and draft someone like Knecht.

PG - Ball, Micic, Mann

SG - Miller, Martin, Curry, Smith Jr.

SF - Bridges, Knecht, McGowens

PF - Siakam, Williams, Bertans

C - Williams, Richards

Can we even afford Bridges and Siakam?

 

We had like 50+ mil in cap space before the trade. We took on some salary which will cut into that cap.

 

I think Bridges is probably going to take up most of the money we have available.

We’d need it to be a sign and trade but it’s possible.

The nice thing is that per player needed we have the second most cap space. The Hornets have 13 players under contract for next year. Assuming we keep Bridges and add a rookie in the first round we are now at 15. We could cut Thor and his non-guaranteed contract to open up a roster spot.

Then work on a sign and trade for Siakam. If I’m not mistaking, we have a trade exception we can use.

Micic is the point guard we've needed off the bench for 20 years. Feels like we could never fill that role properly except for the one Jeremy Lin year

Finally adults who are unselfish and look at the difference it made. Terry, PJ, and Gordon weren't leaders. And we got two (nearly) unprotected picks out of it too)

I only just caught the highlights on Youtube but wow it looked like an actual professional sports team playing in Charlotte for the first time in 5 or 6 years. I guess we came out with the advantage of not having any tape on this lineup so we'll see how they look after a couple more games but it seems like a much more focused mature group of players that seem to give a poo. Getting some cheap hometown bench guys was a smart move

Getting Mann, Micic, Bertans, and two seconds for Hayward was a steal.

Mann could really develop into a very good point guard and I haven’t seen a backup point guard out on a show like Micic did last night since Tony Parker. Getting Bertans (outside of his contract) was just a bonus as he provides great depth off the bench. The two seconds were just icing on the cake.

Williams, Curry, and a 1st rounder for Washington was also a great trade. Williams will now inherit the shot volume that Washington had and I didn’t see a drop off between them at all. Adding the first round was massive and getting Curry who can light it up off the bench is nice as well.

In: Tre Mann, Vasa Micic, Davis Bertans, Grant Williams, Seth Curry, 2027 first round pick from Miami, 2027 first round pick from Dallas, 2024 second round pick from OKC, and a 2025 second round pick from OKC.

Out: Terry Rozier, Gordon Hayward, P.J. Washington, 2024 second round pick, 2028 second round pick.

Props to the new owners for taking the lead on this.

The Hornets are set up for future success with Ball (if he can stay healthy), Miller, Bridges (if he’s re-signed), and Williams (if he can stay healthy). Additionally, we’ll be adding a top 5 talent this year and are in great shape cap wise for the future. On top of that we have two additional first round picks to use as trade bait or draft a player of our own.

Good Poo

      We looked like a competent NFL team PIE thread

      By Prowler2k18 · Posted

      We could easily pick apart yesterday’s game: dropped passes, blown coverages, bad tackling and red zone issues to name a few. But it was clear that this wasn’t the same team from earlier in the season. They fought back and hung with the champs until the end. That’s what I was excited to see and it gives me hope that we’re on the right track.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      I think BY played well today and exceeded expectations. I will temper future expectations as he has to string together many games of consistent quality. One game doesn’t convince me that he is a franchise QB or even a guy you want to stick with for another season. One game doesn’t erase all the negative play and limitations from the past couple of years. I hope he balls out and continues to get better but for me the verdict is still out   That said, I think he gave the team and fans hope yesterday which is a lot more than what we had when we woke up Sunday morning.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Ricky Prickles · Posted

      He was vastly improved today and we need to see more of Bryce the rest of the season to continue evaluate him in order to decide what the heck to do with him at the end of the season. He must play at least like this and improve more from here the rest of the season in order for me to keep him. No more 123 yard passing games and want to see at least this output weekly from him. If this is Bruce improving slowly over time then Canales is even better with developing QB's than I thought he was but still too early to tell and we need to see him the rest of the way as he has at very least earned back the starting gig moving forward.
