Lol @ Suns
Who could have predicted another poorly constructed aging superteam with no chemistry and no point guard would flop in the playoffs?

The middle of the East is terrible.

Gonna talk myself into us making the playoffs next season just because of the competition being terrible.

Beal is a catastrophe. Just stupid.

I'd call the Suns when they're toast and offer Frank Kaminsky for Devin Booker. It might cheer them up.

Part of the problem the Suns have is all their good players are soft jump shooters. We might end up with similar problem.

Also Raymond Felton is fat now.

Man Anthony Edwards is special. He's 22 and it feels like he's been around for a while now. He has the potential to be the face of the league.

Remember when Melo vs Ant was a legit debate?


Well those debates are long gone.

I do, and it will never be a debate again. Melo is flash no substance. Ant man is both at once. He's a superstar.

Ant is also the third highest paid guy on his team. He plays for an organization that went out and spent money and mortgaged the future to try and win now.

We have an organization that is trying to tank. Lowest payroll in the league most years. One of the lowest paid coaches every year. Retreading a coach that we already realized isn't a difference maker.

In the last 20 years we haven't sniffed being a contender. OKC got a franchise, became a contender and then tore it all down and became a contender again in that same time span. We trash bro. We a clown show organization. LeMelo isn't the problem. The Hornets organization is the problem. If you can't be good within a 20 year time span, you trash.

Says LaMelo isn't the problem when he's on the sidelines chillin in street clothes.

You better believe he is the problem. With him we are a different team.

Exactly. It's not like the wolves are a franchise without problems themselves. Other then kg they haven't ever been really that relevant.

Is he really hurt because his injury is bad or is the front office telling him not to rush back because we tanking? Why is Mark Williams out for the rest of the year with a mysterious back injury? Why was Hayward out for so long this year before getting traded?

We have a team culture where guys are collecting checks and milking injuries. To be fair the front office has given them nothing to play for.

Ant said he wanted to kill whatever is in front of him.

I can't ever see Melo saying anything like that. He'll goof off on the bench when we're being blown out instead.

Melo is more talented than Ant. He's more talented than 90% of NBA players. But his mentality/maturity is awful. Along with injuries.

Listen to you guys.

Same forum where multiple posters proposed trading pick 3 plus Miles to move up to one.

Not to select Edwards, but to take Wiseman.

It's just astonishing to hear the what-if's, the bashing of our feature player, the trashing of the organization, the worship of orgs who haven't won **** either.

Gee, I wish the Hornets mortgaged their future for Rudy Gobert instead of drafting Mark because Mark Williams is just collecting a paycheck and milking the trash Hornets.

Melo can hop right back in the convo with Hali and Edwards if he and the team can stay healthy. From what I saw this season he’s basically primed to drop a 25/7/10 season if he can just stay on the floor
