GDT: Charlotte Hornets and other NBA talk part 2

[AhosDatsyukian]

Since the Pistons ended their long ass losing streak, can you guess who now has the current longest losing streak?

to be fair nearly our entire starting lineup has been out lol but yeah the team is bad. fully on board the tank train right now, fire Cliff and Kup after the season and give the new GM/HC a fresh start with some serious young talent on the team to build around, a high lottery pick and hopefully a greenlight to spend some $ in FA to bring in established depth. As bad as the team has been I really don't think it's that far away from being a playoff team. just need new ownership to commit to winning and make the right decisions on who to hire. As we've learned from MJ and Tepper though, that is a bit easier said than done...

Bullets!

They will always be the Bullets to me. Wes Unseld and Elvin Hayes forever.

 

[Bunch of Jurcos]

Can we draft Caitlin Clark to be our SG at the draft?

 

[HisIceness]

The 8 win Charlotte Hornets lost to the 6 win Spurs by 36. Brandon Miller got hurt too.

Just contract the franchise, have a dispersal draft, and have a new franchise start up in Cincinnati or something.

There's just no point to the Charlotte Hornets franchise. They're only there to waste talent, overpay mediocrity, and be other teams springboard to a victory.

Actually, they're doing really well right now. Zion Williamson is looking like he might actually be the man soon.

The Bobcats, however, are trash.

EDIT: OH MY GOD IT'S SO MUCH WORSE THAN I THOUGHT

I just now realized that the sponsor of the Charlotte Hornets is... MR BEAST!

Like, I can't even.

They mistakenly used the dollar sign instead of the cents sign?

 

[VaCaps Fan]

Remember the bobcats?

Thanks for the hot tip. I can't make the game but I bought them instead of groceries for the next few months.

They're 30-13 and won 5 of 6.

@LakeLivin you interested in coaching the Greek Freak?

I'd love it! As long as . . .

Of course. Imagine coaching a team to an NBA championship from home. You'd not be following trends, my friend you would BE the trend!

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

maybe they'll take Clifford off our hands???

also glad to see Terry go to a contender and us get a pick but man I thought we could've gotten more, at least an unprotected pick if it's that far in the future. but I'll take it. Terry is definitely a solid player and I liked having him here but he wasn't a fit with our timeline or with LaMelo. Imagine if he and the heat knock out boston in the playoffs this year lol

 

[HisIceness]

Keys have been turned over to Ball and Miller. Lowry probably gets flipped at TDL for more picks.

 

[HisIceness]

Second time this season the Hornets have lost to the now 5-win Pistons

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

well the Hornets are a total joke as a team yet again but man Brandon Miller is friggin legit. Kid is gonna be a superstar. I was very wrong about him (along with pretty much everyone else who was trashing the pick).

The dumbest thing about this is that the Bucks went 1-2 after hiring Doc Rivers, and yet he's a coach for the all star game because the Bucks have the second best record in their conference. It's all so deeply stupid.

 

[hblueridgegal]

Glad Leaky's getting some playing time..with some teams it's the little things.

For real, Doc has got to be the overrated coach ever too.

I still don't understand why the Bucks fired Budenholzer last summer.

Yeah he's a baller.

 

[HisIceness]

Another Hornets double-digit losing streak!

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

This team looks so friggin different post trade deadline. Mitch did an incredible job getting rid of dead weight expiring guys and getting actual depth and guys who can shoot and play D, plus a couple 1st round picks. Also love to see another Curry in a Hornets jersey (although wish it was his brother!), so fun. May be a lost season but I actually feel pretty good about this team. Big GM and HC hires coming up though, hope new ownership makes the right decisions there.
