NBA Draft

[WUnderhill]

Hope nobody watches. Stretching the NBA draft to 2 days is dumb.

Great, another too small guard in round 2. Who is running this franchise, MJ?

Who did you want at this pick? I don’t know much about him, but I don’t really know of any players at this point.

A top 3-4 pick next draft will probably get the team a superstar. Top of that draft is currently loaded. 

*Looks at 3rd worst record.

*Looks at 6th pick.

Yeah I doubt it works out but we’ll see.

Pick is in for the Lakers time to see if nepotism pays off for Bronny James.

Lol Bronny James to the Lakers. As much as I hate the Hornets draft, I prefer the position we’re in as a franchise to the Lakers. I’d be so pissed to be a slave to Lebron James’ desires at a point in his career when you know you aren’t winning a championship. Really wish they hadn’t gotten that fake bubble championship that hid the fact that their star players can’t play a full length season or playoff schedule.

He is an ascending player who got better each year.  Add that he started college at giant killer Chaminade and there is so good mojo there

[WUnderhill]

Just got a few second round picks to take on Reggie Jackson’s salary. And with that I’d like to officially welcome both the Hornets draft picks to their new team…the Greensboro Swarm! Maybe we’ll see you in a few years and wonder who you are, but more than likely you’ll fade into obscurity like so many before you.

After reading a bit more about Tidjane, youngest player in the draft at 18, with a lot of potential. Seems like a prudent gamble in this draft. We are not looking to win a lot next year, our core is super young, so I like it. I also don’t care if we couldn’t develop talent in the past. Brand new coaching staff. They might not be able to, but at this point we really don’t know. So I’m good with this draft.

You sound like those Lebron haters on social media.

 

He's only one of the best players to ever play the game. He's been having his way for years now. The guy literally made the Lakers hire his podcast buddy JJ Redick to be his HC. Lebron has power in the NBA it's just a fact.

LeBron is great obviously but ESPN stopping all the talk and cutting over to the pick is annoying as hell.  LeBron and the Lakers in general get their asses kissed more than any team in the NBA.  I am fine with that bugging me.

No different than the Cowboys getting attention.

 

ESPN only focuses on big name teams. If you looking for Hornets/Panthers news on ESPN that ain't the network to watch. I just watch podcast that covers our local teams at this point.

Oh definitely agree there.  The Cowboys are literally 50% or more of the talk NFL wise.

Meanwhile we've literally won over twice as many playoff games as they have during our time on the league (9 vs. 4) including beating them twice. And we fuging suck.
