Maybe ts can be a Rashad Lewis type. I've seen people throw comps. I'll throw him in the mix

Even better, loved DSJ. Micic coming out and saying how he’d love to play for Denver while coming in fat and **** up every other play is seriously rubbing me the wrong way. Feels like we’re getting a Boris rerun

Willing to give him the benefit of the doubt in preseason but if he is terrible once the season starts, then yeah ship him out to Denver and sign DSJ or just let Tre Mann run the backup point and see what happens
investigate Adam Silver

Re: 2024 Training Camp - Preseason Thread
Think we keep Moussa around on the big squad or is he splitting time in Greensboro? He’s looked great in his minutes albeit against deep reserves often, but it’s clear he’s a much better 3rd center than the likes we had last year in Mensah and Bolden

Re: 2024 Training Camp - Preseason Thread
Yeah Moussa has looked really solid and made me less concerned about our C rotation. Between him, Gibson, Nic, Grant being able to spot fill 5 minutes, and Mark, I'm not feeling super worried.
I also thought Charlie Brown Jr. and Keyonte Johnson looked surprisingly good last night.

Re: 2024 Training Camp - Preseason Thread
Guys, can’t see the full broadcast, just finished the highlights videos. Oh MANN !!!
So repeat after me…it’s just preseason….but, we’ve said that previous years when the team sucked rear. Now, oh my, most of these guys are playing well, playing their butts off, hustling most of the time. Talent and performance are oozing right onto the screen! I’m getting pumped up!
Tre Mann is absolutely justifying the early return excitement I had from last year. He is an absolute steal and a keeper. DO NOT TRADE THE MANN. Salaun is coming along and such a sweet stroke! Some solid depth, even better than the infusion we got mid-last year. Of course Melo looking awesome, Miller is soon to be all-star. Miles looking healthier with hops. Once we get healthy Mark in there, oh my. Grant is solid! Gibson surprisingly effective in spurts along with big D at the 5. Green looks Ok, need to see him be more impactful as the season builds, but coach thinks he is the starter’s glue guy, which I felt would be his ideal role.
Also how bout the throw in guys from the trades? Johnson, even Charlie Brown doin’ stuff. Cuts will be tougher decisions this year.
Early concerns are obviously Micic. He doesn’t look anything like last year’s model. If a team is hurting for a Pg let’s see what we can get.

I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

for the first time since I can remember we look like an NBA team with NBA players.

Yup. What's more, we look that way while missing like 4 rotation players every game. Last night, we had no Melo, Green, Cody, NSJ, or Mark.

He's looked like **** so I'm down to call that out, but uh yeah we're not trading him because he looked bad in 3 preseason games after he looked really solid for half a season last year
