I would trade Ball in a heartbeat.

 

Talented player, but he is injury prone and lacks leadership. How does the rookie Brandon Miller sound more mature than Melo.

 

Melo is still cussing in his interviews. That shows me he doesn't get it. Time to grow up take care of your body and please wear your ankle braces.

His pops is out here blaming the injuries on LaMelo's Puma shoes lol.

He could be right about the practices though. But plenty of other players can stay on the court consistently. At some point you as the athlete either want it or you don't. Some of these young players of newer generations are just caught up in the materialism side of being a sports celebrity. Even LeBron has called them out for it.

At this point if our ownership has any clue what they are doing they will put in place a new regime that will prioritize building around Brandon Miller first and foremost. Where LaMelo will fit in will be up to him. If that is going to happen though we need to hire the right coach. No more softie BS.

I don’t even want to give that idiot (LaVar) a response but he might be on to something with the shoes.

It is odd that all of Puma’s athletes (LaMelo, Barrett, Ayton, Smart, Kuzma) suffer from ankle issues.

It's not outside the realm of possibility for sure. But all these major shoe brands are made with the same materials and made dirt cheap overseas in sweat shops.

What brand was the shoe that fell apart on a player in the middle of a game awhile back? Was it Nike?

Some of this is also just bad luck.

You’re right, Zion blew out a pair of Nike’s.

And honestly, for me, it’s more about the person. The Hornets desperately need a leader; Melo doesn’t even have to play to be that guy, but that’s not who he is.

In hindsight, the Hornets should have traded that pick for a draft night haul.

Glad to see they’ve got their priorities in order:

1. Virtue signal so you can get an espn article.

2. Find the right HC.

Hahaha, I’ll say this:

As far as female candidates go, Harding is the least qualified in my opinion. I mean hell, even Jerry Stackhouse was a COY award winner in the G-League.

Staley or Hammon would actually be good candidates, Harding seems more like a publicity stunt.

It’s gonna take a big paycheck, but I’m here for it. The Hornets don’t have a leader so they need to have a no nonsense HC.

I doubt she would leave SC for the Hornets, but I wouldn't object to her being the coach. It isn't like she could be worse than some of the past ones the Hornets have hired.

It’d be like you’re 6’11, 265 and a 26 year old multi-millionaire…and your mom is screaming at you to box out.

I genuinely think it could work.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      By Aussie Tank · Posted

      I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.

      I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
