Wednesdays with Walker, great show!!
We could’ve replicated the OKC model… well had a chance… the year we drafted Frank the Barbie Jeep.. when I think Boston wanted to give us like 4 1st round picks to move up to our spot… and we stayed put to draft frank 😒😒😒
Wow Minnesota, Oklahoma City and Orlando was in the draft lottery with Charlotte.. well you know the rest smh
Lin wanted to be a starter,but maybe the hornets could have paid Lee enough for him to stay.
I can't wait for next season to see my boy Miller 24 going into his 2 season as a hornet he going to do great 👍 he just need a championship winning head coach to help elevate his game in the nba fax 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥
Yeah, that Anthony Edwards is such a nice guy. ""I made comments in the heat of a moment that are not me, and that are not aligned with what I believe and who I want to be as a man," Edwards wrote. "All women should be supported and empowered to make their own decisions about their bodies and what is best for them. I am handling my personal matters privately and will not be commenting on them any further at this time."
Edwards, 22, was tagged in a post including the conversation via leaked text messages, which allegedly showed a photo of a positive pregnancy test and responses "hell nawl can't do dis" and "Get a abortion lol."
The post also includes a photo of a wire transfer of $100,000 with text messages saying, "I will send you money to help you out" and "you got da money whats the hol up."
Day 436 😂😂
The hornets not fully committing to a rebuild during the kemba walker years is hurting the team right now. We had enough great players to trade and recoup significant assets. Our only chance now is Brandon Miller taking an Anthony Edwards type leap (he definitely can) and Lamelo playing at least 65 games.
I wish this organization could make us feel like they got things under control.
Getting your coach figured really help.
The front office doesn't scout the NBA well either.. There are players in the NBA who are sitting on benches or in the developmental league who could blossom with playing time.. If the money is low, its still ways to improve the roster, they have to find something that they can be elite at as an organization, crunching numbers, creative contracts, finding talent, they have no excuse other than executive mediocrity..
