They had a good run and I love Moose but he did have limits. IMO had Adebayo not been injured Miami would have beat us like Orlando did. They always say the playoffs are a different breed. It was very clear what we need for next season. We need either through free agency or trade or the draft. A big defensive center that can hold his ground against other teams big man. Sad to see it end but hopefully Charle Lee gets the players he needs to take us to the next level. The Hornets are not ready for a long run in the playoffs. 2026-27 I hope to see an improvement and get in the top six of the conference and get a full series.

Well said. Last year we blew so much smoke that everyone believed, or most everyone, believed we were going after Walker. In the end we made the right pick. I have zero expectations for Thursday because I honestly don't know where we are going. I can say that whoever it is, it will be in the mold of who Morgan wants on this team. Smart, gitty, tough and a DAWG.

I just did a simulator 2x just to see what shows up. Two players Sadiq and C. Banks are top of the list. Rodriguez is 45. Both times I skipped him in round one and by round two he was gone. Banks would be nice with Brown, Sadiq is more of a luxury pick for us. I think TE is not a big of a need in round one. I saw an article where Luke really likes Rodriguez. When Luke speaks people listen. Would you use a first round pick on a player rated 45?

Typical. I have watch so many mock drafts and rarely to they say much about Carolina and their pick.

If you trade Hubbard are you content with Etienne as our most skilled RB? That IMO not a good idea for a run first team. Huge gamble.

That is a huge gamble. You cannot be 100% certain that you are going to get a solid running back to replace Hubbard. You can think we can get a replacement in the draft you however you would be going into the season with a 30+ YO RB, a running back who has had 2 ACL tears in the same leg and a 2nd yr RB with limited success and a rookie you hope can replace Hubbard. You are taking a serious gamble for a run first offense. Hubbard won't be traded. It makes zero sense.

Hubbard is #1 running back. After that it is a battle for #2. Brooks is a mystery, Etienne didn't show much last year. Dillon IMO probably has just as much of a chance to be #2 as anyone. I do believe we need to solid RBs. We saw what happened Rico down the stretch. He wasn't the same back that took over for Hubbard earlier in the season.

I can't see that happening. Too many IFs in the RB room. Hubbard is about the only RB we can count on as of now. If we destroy our RB room there is no way Young will succeed. We cannot become a throw first to open the running game. Bad Idea.

I really think that we are going BPA. I would like an OT but, it really is going to come down to the best player. Especially if it any one of the primary needs.

Detroit 2.0? That would be 3 WRs in a row in the first round. Didn't pan out to well for Detroit. I think we have more glaring needs than another WR.

That would be the stupidest thing DM could do. We have spent years drafting WRs that don't pan out and you want to trade him for a pick this year. NO SENSE. Not no but Hell no.

Much different time. College basketball plays many more games than. They did in Smith's ERA.

Nothing. Makes me happier than watch Duke miss the final four.

Hubert had one style and that was it. Never played his two big men at the same time. Minimal bench and never used what he had. I hope they bring in a young aggressive coach. Someone who can bring UNC back to greatness.

Always good to have an intelligent Center.
