Official 2021-2022 Charlotte Hornets Thread : Bouknight, Jones, The LaMelo Era

No, I see what you're saying, and I appreciate the insight.

I'm looking forward to seeing what happens.

Should be an interesting draft, esp if Lakers go Russell and 76ers go Okafor. Rumor is Phil likes Kaminsky...

Winslow and Booer on the board and you take Kaminsky. Is this real life?

 

[georgescorewell]

I figured it. But as I said earlier I'm not super critical of his game, and I think he can relieve some of the load off Al.

 

[mr marcus]

I see him getting ate defensively and I don't think his offense will be that much better than Cody.....I see the lottery right back in our future but hopefully I'm wrong 

 

[carolinakickg]

No way we are a playoff team with the current roster.
Can't wait for Kaminsky jerseys to flat out sit in the store.

 

[buc em]

Holy **** I just remembered the Hornets already have Zeller too that makes the pick even worse. Front line of Kaminsky-Big Al-Hawes-Zeller bout to get ate the **** up on defense.

 

[mr marcus]

Yea it's terrible

Hawes, Lamb and Batum on the last year of his deal

The Boston Celtics made a strong final push to trade up into the top 10 in the draft, culminating in an offer to the Charlotte Hornets that included as many as six draft picks, including four potential first-rounders, for Charlotte's No. 9 pick, sources said.

Passing on Winslow,Booker, 6 draft picks for another power forward






I'll take a pair of those alternate shorts though

Yeah it looks like there's no direction. But atleast the Nuggets look like they'll stop messing up for a few . The hornets should've never passed up Bradley Beal.

By the end of the year yall think Kaminsky going to be starting? I hope not, but I will readily admit that his mid-long range jumper (outside of CZ's hotspot) might be nicer than Zeller. However I think Zeller is a better defender and rebounder (despite his limitations in both those areas).

Kemba

MKG

Batum

Zeller

Jefferson

Bench doesn't look TOOOO bad, though I really think we should find a way to deal Hawes maybe. We could really use another post presence. 

 

[carolinakickg]

MKG out for season. Kiss playoffs goodbye (hope I'm wrong)

 

[mr marcus]

So who's starting at the 2?

 

[carolinakickg]

Great question. Although some reports said Batum was going to play the 2 all along and MKG was going to play the 3. Either way, replacing him won't be easy.

 

[woody2626]

Cliff said he doesn't want to lose Lamb's bench scoring but said Lamb and PJ will be given chances to prove themselves.

Batum will still start at the 2 according to him. I can see them moving Marvin to the 3 and throwing Cody or Frank in at the starting 4. If I had to guess I'd say PJ gets the start if he proves himself.

If we file for the disabled player exception we'd have about 11 million in cap which helps facilitate a trade

 

[keel252]

woody you think PJ is a starting 2 caliber guard in the league?

 

[carolinakickg]

I don't think he is now, but I think he can be.

Needs to shore up his defense for sure. And needs to shoot much much better than he has. But if he can shoot like he did at UNC, there's no reason he won't get starter's minutes whether he starts or not. Especially in BRICK (i mean) BUZZ CITY from outside.

 

[mr marcus]

Personally think PJ biggest issue is his social circle. It's improved but I still think he needs to distance himself from some a lil. At least until he really establishes himself into the league.

If he doesn't show more he'll be out the league in another year or two. He's still unproven IMO


I think he has the talent but mentally I just don't know

Can't argue with anything you said!
