Its the hope that kills us
Operation charlottes web
i think if we want to keep lamelo we need to move him to more of a shooting guard role, considering his injury risk and his mindless shooting, i would rather someone with more poise like sexton or knueppel bring up the ball, even though knueppel’s archetype is a pure sg/sf he’s just way smarter/ more poise than lamelo, either way great passing against the hawks
Hornets need a starting center that can shoot and rebound better then Kulk.
What sick bastard followed the Hornets to NO. I became a Suns fan for a while.
Lamelo has always played with liangelo ball . Watch the old tape kon knueppel does everything Gelo does but better
😂i do listen to hella lockon podcasts locked on spartans guardians hornets nuggets
Once grant williams comes back, it might be a little bit of a squad
McAdenville is still the same.
B Mill is the franchise player because he is the closest complete player and 2nd, 3rd Option is LaMelo, Kon is the Big 3. Keep Grant W, Sexton, Kalbrenner.
Trade Josh Green for Robert Williams
Trade Bridges for Harris from the Pistons
and Ask the Charlotte Hornets could go back to the Old Logo like Late Night
Can't believe we had yahoos on here who thought kon couldn't play😮😂
Doug I'm not afraid to go out on the LaMelo branch because it's my fault if it breaks, I'm worried because if it breaks I will get hurt. Again.
I’ve been to a dozen or so hornets games and last night was the best one I’ve ever been to. Remarkable offensive basketball.
Kon is a future coach or front office guy, he kinda has a clifford thing going on in the post game interviews 😂
LaMelo taking the jump out of his jump shot is lowkey the key to his shooting slump.
little hype time
Kalkbrenner has the passing gift. Seriously underselling this dude's potential. He can be a contender piece on a team. 80+ overall on 2k. Sion James as a point guard is completely underrated and not talked about
Hawks being blown out by the Spurs by32 with two minutes left. Clearly the Hawks are struggling right now.

Remember everything Doug is say I guarantee he change his tune after the Detriot game
Love the content guys. Keep it up!…. Go Hornets 🎉
It’s funny how everyone is now claiming about Jalen Johnson – Charlotte would have had no patience to wait for his development
I was upset when charlotte pick Kon in the draft. I was WRONG!!!!! He was the best pick in the draft, and put in the best situation. Mel, Miller, Miles, and Kon is tuff 😮
Calling it now hornets will go on the biggest nba win streak for some time to come make play in and pull upsets that lead to a serious run in play offs they are ready
All of the "Trade Melo, Build around Kon" narrative sounds as ridiculous as if OKC came to say "Move Shai, build around Chet" …We need our full core 4 to maximize.. Trade from the bottom first, if anything, to improve what we have..
Anyone think Hornets can pull the upset and beat the Pistons tonight?

Brilliant podcast Walker and Doug 🙌🏻, our performance against the Hawks is what gives us hope for the future, I’m really hoping our top players can stay healthy so we can see a bigger sample size of Lamelo, Brandon and Kon on the floor 🏀

I'm a Hawks fan lolll
