First Like, woo hoo!!
Like shit, should we draft rob dillingham to replace lamelo
We can let Melo go and see if Mark can stay healthy next year
The Ball Brothers have the talent… but man, they just can't stay healthy at this point smh.
Melo isn't a true ball player to me I have waited on him to be that dude but he just isn't so this off season we need to move on from him and miles
As far as Mark goes I'm not sure he will ever be what he was in college so I say make some moves and build around Miller and keep our new point guards we got we need to bring in a true big man and some more players in the draft we can get alot for miles Melo and mark so we should do it there are players in the league we can use
Bro you guys don’t like melo
This is the 2nd time Doug has said we got rookie contracts at the deadline. No we did not. We only got 1, Mann and it's his last year. Micic is being paid MLE
We ❤ Melo !! We just wanna see him play howbout that !! Was his ankle broke or what work on them legs this summer !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I mean at this point there’s no point in defending the training staff. If our stars no longer trust them and the fans all think they’re liars something has to change.
Im still all in favor of the NFL style report cards for each organizations staff and facilities just to get some clarity and stop the speculation.
Ankle not responding is ominous.
Young, abled bodied athletes bounce back from ankle injuries. Sprained ankles aren’t a mystery illness for professional training staffs. Ultimately, not overcoming this injury is a red flag against the player’s body, not the staff.
I can't wait for nc to get some better internet for walker lol
If he comes back next season and injures his ankle again he will be done career wise
IN LAMELO WE TRUST
Bring Mason back.
Should have kept Terry to go with Miller. Availability is half the battle. Hoping for consistently injured players to suddenly get better is a pipe dream
Hear me out . What if this is a mccaffrey thing all over again . . He’s “hurt” until he gets traded 👀
You know what trade Lamelo he better off because at the end of the day you replace him then what hornets going to be a play off team 😂😂 lmfao
Lol this guy Melo is the most brittle player in the league. Starting from his rookie season breaking his wrist. And then this persistent, on-going ankle injury. He's grossly overrated and will be on one of the worst contract in the league. They need to get rid of him asap and build around Miller. Miller has the size, is lanky, more athletic and can get buckets. I see more potential in Miller long term over Melo for certain.
From the 2020 rookie class, it's Antman, Haliburton and Maxey who are the top 3 as of current. Hornets needs to draft a pg this upcoming draft or make moves to get a quality PG. Melo is a great playmaker but thats about it. He jacks up 3s like theres no tomorrow. Guy thinks he's Curry. He's also an inefficient scorer and doesn't play defense. Not a championship DNA.
Its all bs Hornets didn't need him coming back when they not going to playoffs protect that draft pick at all cost hornets most likely will be drafting in top 3
Hornets trying to deface then trade lamelo is going to an all time regret and I’m here for it .lamelo don’t deserve hornets .
