Bone takes 6 weeks to heal. So, if the surgery was in March, then its healed by May.
On the hornets hive cast Mitch said that Melo and Cody Martin were healthy and back on the court
I’m not concerned with Miller finishing at the rack over time. Once he puts on a little more strength and catches up to the NBA speed he will be fine. Miller is an all star in 3-4 years.
Would a Kyle Lowry for Gordon Hayward trade help with LaMelo mentoring and with a leadership role? The salaries nearly match and both contracts are expiring.
Scoot finishes around the rim pretty well. But oh well.
I would want a vet that has a voice that would instill accountability and responsibility to these young millionaire's. Maybe kemba if he's willing to play backup or a pass first vet PG.
Nnaji is just 18 and has shown immense defensive development in a few short years. No reason to think he can't improve his offense to level that doesn't negatively affect the team while on the floor. Remember Shaq had no real offense when he started.
Unfortunate because I don’t think Melos going to wear ankle braces even though he probably should, after 4 ankle injuries….
See about trading for Paul george, he would be a huge mentor.
Everyone really forgets that neither JB or Mitch really supported Melo after drafting him, bowing to Devonte as the team leader. And only when Devonte got hurt did they start Melo reluctantly. Remember how they didn't want his type of flashy game and how many times they benched him for being 'free'?! Remember how they barely supported his All-Star bid, dividing the vote between Terry and (?) who never had a chance in hell of being an All Star. Remember how dour Mitch was in presenting Melo with the Rookie of the Year award? So I think expecting Melo to be 'the man', a leader, under conditions that have never really supported him to become that, is more than unfair.
Walker, your name is Walker but you keep disrespecting Kemba. I was hurt when he left too but he is arguably the best Hornet ever. Lamelo is unproven still imo. Fanboys don’t kill me 🤞🏾
Need more floor spacing to improve our drive on rim %
