Dying from embarrassment for him.


What does Salaun have to be embarrassed about...?

Mitch thought Amari Bailey and Theo Maledon were the answer. We’re drinking the medicine of 4 years of absolutely horrendous roster building - but by picking Salaun, I remain unconvinced we’re moving in the right direction.

You're literally trolling at this point.

The Diabete over Richards stuff should stop. As should trying to trade Nick when he's on a ridiculously good contract.

I’m not against trading him for something good, but not for pennies

Sorry. I was satirically referencing a poster who “actually felt sorry for” Tiddy becoming a starter that was going to get “absolutely embarrassed”.

In reality, I think the youngest athlete in his draft class getting a double double in his 19th game played in the top league on the planet is pretty impressive.

Despite my gripes relative to pick position verses available talent, I obviously want Salaun to be successful here. His steps forward with the playing time afforded due to injuries has been helpful for him. Clearly needs more work, more experience, strength and maturing physically, but his contributions show promise, and that is a very good sign for such a young player.

I was irked by Green’s lack of production, and how he keeps getting scrubbed off screens too easily. Starting to have doubts about his value here.
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.
