The way some people put it, we are ****ing over NOLA if we give them Scoot.

Prefer Miller, fine with Scoot. Don't want anyone else at that spot. Trade is cool if it makes sense as long as we don't move too far back. Would like to still pick up someone like Dick or Anthony Black.

Re: Who should the Hornets draft at #2?
I think Miller will definitely be a fine player. Tough to see an outcome where he doesn't belong on the court in playoff games. Not certain whether he will be THE guy, though.
That might be a flawed way of thinking. But that's why I'm leaning moreso toward Scoot deserving to be #2 on a draft big board. Hard to think of more promising and complete guards in the draft during these last few years. His best version could be crazy good.

Do Charlotte fans hate us for George Shinn's actions? We don't like him here either, we're in this together bro, I've always rooted for you guys

Miller feels like a lighter, quicker Detlef Schrempf.

Can't speak for everyone, but of course I did at first and I'm sure they're is roll over from the Saints Panthers. Still I loved watching the CP3/David West team. CP3 was my favorite. Once the NBA got the team from Shinn, I kinda let all that go. It especially helped when the Bensons gave us the name and history back. Now I actually have some fondness for the team. I was really pulling for them this year as I thought they could be really good, but injuries really did them in.

Shinn moving the team
CP3 (not necessarily your fault)
AD (not necessarily your fault)
Charlotte has been cursed ever since the original team left.
etc
The taint will always remain.

Hornets should have just let me be GM. I would have drafted Kobe and we would have been set for 15 years lol

I don’t hate them. I rooted for them after they left until the NBA came back to Charlotte and not because I’m from there but because I grew fond of Charlotte in general. But it’s kind of an arms race, we want to be better than NOLA and have more success in the playoffs before they do.

Re: Who should the Hornets draft at #2?
I just heard some rumor *a light one* that zion could be traded to Charlotte. If that happens I will eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwhich with vinegar instead of milk. We attract the most ratchet of rachet of ratchet in Charlotte, and not only that, he aint worth a 2035 2nd rounder. *2nd rounder protected*

Zion with 4 picks is worth a gamble. If Zion turns it around he’s generational talent. If not we get 4 picks. I’m sure we are sending away Hayward’s contract too. And, LaMelo Ball is the best PG in the league for Zion. That being said, I’m not worried about Zions off the court troubles. He’s a young dumb guy who is in an interesting love triangle. I am worried about his health, but you attach enough future picks and I’ll roll the dice.

But he is allegedly very ratchet. He doesn't date women who allegedly has only fans/porn. He dates women who prolly should have only air conditioners

Umm Zion play can't be questioned my man.
He's a generational talent. Even when he was out of shape he was beasting. The problem with Zion is him staying on the court.
If we traded for this dude and he somehow stayed healthy we literally will have changed our franchise around overnight. It's a gamble im willing to take. Zion is better than anyone in this draft including Wemby.
Melo/Zion is literally must see tv!

The rare cross-race draft comp. You, Sir, could work for Daryl Morey. Would have never thought of this.

Sheesh, haven’t heard of that name since about 2008.
