MJ paid him like a superstar while everyone knew he was/is a “glue guy”.

He was pretty damn good the season before he got paid.

 

Maybe you're right 15/6/6 the year before he got paid and the first year of his deal.

What’s funny is Batum had a ton of interest when he was a Free Agent that year and one of the primary teams flirting with him was - the 2016 Golden State Warriors.  

Batum was the backup plan if they couldn’t sign (also Free-Agent)…

…Kevin Durant.  Lol.  Look it up, KD was their Plan A in 2016 and “Nico” Batum was their Plan B.

Pretty sure history would look a little different with Nico Batum and the Splash Brothers against Bron.

That said, the Hornets have had so many fails but I don’t think I’ve EVER seen worse shooting form than this #2 overall pick behind AD…WTF… not sure what’s worse, the right elbow or the left hand… 🙃 Go Hornets, we should finally have a good young team this year.

      Bryce Young benched

      Yeah my crazy theory is Canales, Morgan, and Tillis watched the film and read the locker room.  They saw a team giving up on a player and frustrated with his production.  Seems like a pretty easy decision from there...

      We'll probably still lose, but I believe we'll be more competitive. I don't think signing another vet QB is wise considering we already have one. I think we should trade for a young QB sitting on the bench. I'm bias, but I would like for us to consider Rattler. Carr is doing very well with the Saints so he may be their starter for a while, so they may be more willing to trade Rattler. I'm not too impressed with the QB draft class for next year. I would rather trade back our 1st round pick for more picks and go BPA. Continue with the rebuilding process, and if Rattler or whoever doesn't cut it, then hopefully Manning will be the guy in 2026. And Tepper has to back off with any decision making.

      Does anyone else think our receivers ball out now?

      I said in another thread, I can’t find a glaring liability on offense. If Dalton can drop some 25+ yard dimes, we have some dudes that can make hay. Picks be damned. I’ll take a 2 or 3 pick day for 35 points on the board. We just need something. A spark. Anything.  We won’t be good, but it has potential to be fun to watch, and the tone in the stadium… hope.
