What’s Wrong with the Charlotte Hornets?

Welcome to a brand new episode of the post game I’m your host Davon and I’m joined by Gabe you’re em uh Omega what’s going on man and kayen yo and today we are back with a brand new episode of the post game today we’re going to be talking about the

Charlotte Hornets um you know the Dre deine just went and um there’s a couple you know em is a Hornets fan the rest of us we all live in the Charlotte area is um and so yeah let’s talk about what’s happening what let’s talk about what’s going on with the Hornets currently they

Are sitting um in what position are they sit is anyone on off top of their head at least 13 because Washington and then Detroit so so they’re sitting in they are sitting in 13th Place um at a 10 and 41 record which is pretty pretty W um so the the

Hornets traded away PJ Washington they also traded away Gordon Hayward um and they got back um Grant Williams Seth Curry a first round pick um and then Trey man and uh Davis burdens so looking at those trades um does Grant Williams and Seth Curry help the Hornets at

All some type of way shooting probably gr Williams probably a little defense physical guy he back home he from Charlotte so they’re older guys they’ll be good for that locker room like they just kind of need people like that that played on a lot of teams seen a lot of situations

And you know contribute knows their role goe yeah I definitely think looking at it you you you would hope that this um added experience from uh Grant Williams I mean he he had a pretty deep playoff run with the Celtics um he’s been around the uh the Mavericks team that’s been

That’s pretty good team and so hopefully it bring some winning DNA to the team I mean only 10 wins out of the out of the 52 games is pretty questionable um and so do you think it was a mistake of them trading away PJ what happened do you think it was a

Mistake for the Hornets trading way PJ Washington I think so it was it was it was all right for them bro I mean but hey I know PJ happy yeah yeah I I think if they got if they didn’t get the the return they got I

Think it would be bad but they got a pretty good haul for him I thought they would get more of a haul for someone like roier but like to get that much for PJ I thought was pretty good yeah so for Rosier they only got kyari did they get

A pick they got like a top 16 protected pick Okay and like 27 so I mean so ALS yeah with Gordon her being faded away are you happy he’s gone um how do you how we feeling about that yeah yeah I’m pretty happy yeah no

Reason to be there like go go get you go get some dubs on your on your on your little record some you don’t want be with them young folks well I mean I mean okay see young but you don’t want to be with them young them young boys over

There they’re more like young immature like they don’t they don’t have no future they want the they want that I mean I don’t blame them but still nah nah like you know come on you you you this your job like the way they treated it that’s like oh now that we doing this

We get with car we Lambo we get this crib we get this this ice it’s have was frozen you know Nord Gordon Hayward can be more valuable on OKC than he was with the Hornets like 10 times more value yeah hopefully like all the respect to him he’s not GNA be like

He’s just too much of a nice guy to put everyone in check like he on the court like you know he plays hard and you know does his role but like I don’t I don’t see him in the locker room like you know keeping [ __ ] together huh yeah exactly

Yeah there’s that not doing that he do it by himself either yeah so looking at the Hornets who do you so is there anybody that you wish they traded for the Hornets yeah like who do you who who well here’s an easier word or question who do you think would have

Been a good fit for them to trade for bring the king to the city King to the Queen City man the king the king oh King James got it fing that rubbish um I don’t think there’s nobody that the Hornet should have really went out and got like like

You’re just messing up a draft pick at that point just might as well pay pay attention to scouting in free agency yeah so uh here’s something interesting that happened James book Knight finally released from the Hornets uh I definitely think it it helps get the uh the morale away from that whole

Conversation I think that kids losing his mind in my opinion what’s been happening with James book Knight is it wait not James book Knight about Kai Jones no book Knight got released yeah B Knight B Knight was doing some some drunk and driving stuff though with the

Doritos oh yeah that in a gun right had back of Doritos in a Guna didn’t we see him leaving at the Charlotte G one night he looked at us like hey man and he he hey bro he’s one of those he like stroll through the city

Man he lik stroll through the city bro why why same reason lamelo does some same reason that uh miles bridges does it because they’re immature and they would that that is an immature team though bro yeah so looking at the Hornets um and looking at the trade line

Miles Bridges declined to be traded from the Hornets um does this does this make Hornets fans happy or sad do you wish he was gone or are you happy he decided to stay or he stay it depends on who you are yeah it is depends you do you care about uh having

A woman be there on your team or do you like him for the buckets he gets you and that’s just kind of where it is with people like the buckets yeah so he’s a bucket though so EMT you being a hornet fan how do you feel um what side are you on I

Wanna I’m I’m a business guy there’s I mean you know yeah I get it I I wanted to keep him around I just don’t want him asking for 35 million a year at the end of the season yeah he ain’t that he ain’t on that level yet yeah

I mean I think I this G to sound crazy but it’s almost a blessing of what happened with him because now you can like from for like front office business standpoint because now you don’t have to pay him $35 million because they about to give him like a Max

Contract like they a super max at the end of the last season I think he just didn’t want to go because so he could keep putting up numbers on a bad team and then get more money like boost his value that too and I think most teams

Like so I remember when they were doing their due d of bringing him back with the whole situation and the reason that they decided to the same reason there was teams that wanted him was because he’s the girls pregnant again they’re having another kid so like yeah um she

Is square sorry you know I mean I think um that’s also the reason PJ Washington got moved I think they just wanted to move it forward and because it’s like that uh Marcus Smart brogen situation where broen didn’t pass his physical so they were about to trade him couldn’t so

They uh had to move Marcus Smart instead you know um I think Miles bridges does is a better fit for the Hornets I guess in their future plans yeah op so last question when we look at the Hornets where do you see the Hornets in the next three to five

Years so tough right where they are without lamelo for sure really yeah yeah a real I need they need a good big man yeah I mean it one picko that’s it’s actually insane thinking about like if wiby was drafted to the Hornets and had lamelo ball to pass the

Ball to like he’d be he’d average 25 plus d it’s not the first time the Hornet got screwed in the lottery should have had ad be a completely different team right now didn’t he Kobe he wasn’t going to play there he he was like any team that wasn’t the Lakers he was going

Go play in Italy so oh I didn’t know that um three to five years it’s tough It’s new ownership group Steve Clifford is definitely gonna be fired um he keeps getting these jobs because I guess he does good with teams and rebuilding years just to get a better

Coach yeah that too um I can see lamelo sticking around I just I it’s just Charlotte’s draft picks over the years have been like you have a few ones that worked and a lot of them that have not I don’t see I don’t see lamelo leaving

Like I feel like he’s one of those players where it’s like okay I’m gonna sit here I’m gonna make like $500 million in my contract and I’m not going to leave like I feel like there will be times where there will be problems but I don’t think he’ll ever leave Charlotte I

Think I think this is home for him which is crazy to say out loud but I feel like now he’s going to realize that like listen I can go to another team stink it up for a couple years and then not have anywhere else to go or I could be the

Number one on this team stink it up and still make $100 million so I I I I think he’ll be here to stay for a while and I’m not expecting him to be on the road or on the Move anytime soon but you know who should be on the road who Jordan pool

Okay yeah any who um any final thoughts you have on the Hornets though no uh uh I’ll be a Hornets fan when LeBron retires got eight eight years for that to happen yeah man I just hop in my lifetime I could see this city have a good basketball team like an actual competent

Championship contending basketball team hopefully I mean Michael Jordan’s gone there’s there’s some room for uh winning this what’s going to happen LeBron once LeBron tires he’s going to buy the team Bonnie’s going to come to Charlotte LeBron gonna start living in Charlotte and then you know that’s just now it’s

It’s the king it’s going to be the king and queen I think you should end the podcast there because yeah all right I’ve been your host Davon that’s been the rest leave your comments how you think Charlotte will do over the next couple years and let us know how you

Think they did on the trade de line um but yeah I’ve been your host Davon this has been the post game peace
