I'm surprised that he didn't have his own player thread on here

Happy for him

I really, really, really hope he joins the broadcast team (and replaces Uncle Steve and/or Del).

I know he has been studying media relations and broadcasting and I think he would make an excellent colour guy.

Oh, and...........

Awesome news.

We love the Hammer.

Great that he's a "Charlotte" guy.

Loyalty should be rewarded.

Ban this man.

does he still have that restraining order against you?

just because he caught you stealing his dirty underwear.

What's the history of Matt Carroll and the Hammer thing?

It was a nickname I gave him years and years ago during his first stint with us.

He was playing really well for us and was a fan fave.

His initials are MC - which obviously connects to Hammer - plus it is just an awesome nickname and someone as dreamy as Matt Carroll deserves an awesome nickname.

In the early days he optimised our team. He was all heart, blue collar and gave his all 100% of the time. He was a fantastic role playing bench player. He was just so likeable.

So I started awarding "Hammers" to our best players after every game, it caught on and has continued for almost 10 years now.

10 years.

Dang! We have been suffering for a longggggggggggggggggg time.

Cool. Hey, we didn't suffer in 2010!

Come on Slam, getting rid of Dell would be the stupidest thing this franchise could do.

wrong damn thread

Why? He's not very good as a colour guy.

I liked Stephanie as a color commentator when she did it last year.

2nd this.

At least she broke down plays, gave insight, taught us something and was passionate about calling the game.

Firing Dell would remove any chance of Steph coming here.

We'd be lucky if Seth came here.

promote Dell to shooting assistant, let Stephanie replace him at the table, let Matt have Stephanie's old job

No,no,no. The biggest problem is Steve Martin. I'd rather have the "real" Steve Martin than the one we currently have. He's a wild and crazy guy! Matt would be a nice fit next to a capable play by play guy. Bump Dell up to PD and leave Stephanie in her current position.

As a foreigner I listen to many broadcasts, and from the many NBA-broadcasts I think Charlotte's is in the upper half. Stephanie is one of the loveliest court-side commentator (or how you call them), in pair with the gal Boston have, Dell isn't really the tactical-minded, playbook citing guy, but I think he adds a plus to the broadcast, but I must second that Steve Martin is very mediocre at the best.
