Kemba got some big heart if he's purposely tanking because he knows we need a good draft pick to compete once he gets his max.

I’m a little surprised we won this. A loss here really would’ve put us in prime position to drop into the lotto a bit more. We are going to get pummeled over the next few weeks here though. That 7th worst record is doable.

He’s honestly my least favorite of the $12m range overpaid guys. A quality center on this team would pay dividends.

Yep I’m hopeful we sink heavy like a brick in a pond. Need every chance at a high lottery pick.

Kemba is overrated (although I know he’s our best player) and we should have traded him for a promising young player and picks.
Miles was bad again tonight. Monk on the shelf. Strange how hyphen and Bacon got minutes suddenly. Even Willie. Strange times.
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

Bacon is more promising than Monk.

I've been scratching my head all season that we haven't given Bacon any PT. If we have plans to keep Lamb then we seriously need a thin the wing herd trade.

I still believe Graham has real potential. Bacon is the kind of solid player you always need on a good team. The sooner we string together multiple losses and acknowledge our fate the sooner we can play the young-uns a lot to gauge potential.

Bacon will end up being our best pick since Kemba if he gets a real chance.
