If they give Miles a max after this disappearing act... shoo-wee

I've actually always liked Hunter. very solid player.

Sure but the 7th or 8th best player on a good team shouldn't outperform your two "stars"

yeah I didn't hate the moves last season as much as you did, i thought might have been playing a long game, but now he needs act.

Two of Hayward, Oubre, & Terry need to be on new teams next year.
Harrell as a back up 5 isn't the worst idea, but his lack of maturity down the stretch and inability to score outside of 2 feet doesn't make him a "must" to re-sign.
Bouk needs more burn next year....no questions asked.
We need a big. Who? IDK. Nurkic/Zubac are FA. Does Hayward + a FRP in '22 get us Turner? Toss in Richards maybe? Do we try to offer sheet Ayton and move Hayward and Terry to open up space to do so? Poetl?
Is PJ part of the core or a throw in to improve the roster? If he stays, is he a 4 or a 5?
What is Miles position moving forward?
LaMelo....needs to quit crying like a kid on the playground getting his lunch money taken by older folks.

Lots to unpack.

he'd probably be our 3rd best player, but i get your point.

i just felt like expressing my liking of Hunter

LaMelo plays by feel and instinct, but he's gotta start thinking more.

There is a bit of the White Chocolate flash about him which he has to grow out of.

Just wanna conclude this by saying I’m once again ashamed to be a Hornets fan. This season actually had promise in the spring, which never happens. And even a winning record — followed by the most pathetic performance I’ve seen in many many years.
Lost a lot of respect for most of the roster. Didn’t have much for the coach to begin with. Hate to see Miles’ Hornets career go out in a blaze of the exact opposite of glory.

I'm not sure how much Terry will improve, we really needed him today and his missed three easy buckets in the first quarter that sat the tone for his rest of the game.

Awesome. Just awesome.

Too steamed to post my thoughts just yet.

Terry is what he is: a likable bricklayer who can only be counted on to be basketball’s answer to Andy Dalton.

Did we have a more productive season than the Rockets, Magic, Pistons? I'm not sure that we did.

We've got less ping pong balls than them if that helps..... And our rookies got a lot less playing time to develop in...

We should toss Washington, Hayward, and Oubre to the Lakers for Davis plus a draft pick and then hope for the best.

Not only is it great for us, but in my opinion, it puts the Lakers back with a similar roster which resembles prior to AD. Win-win in my opinion.

This team is fun to watch, but this is probably the least likable team we've had in a while. Not because they're bad people, they're not. They're very nice and fun... but it goes too far. They're a team of young, cocky celebrity players. They don't seem to take things seriously, as someone else said they're too focused on social media and being "cool".

I'd guarantee they thought they'd come to Atlanta and win a shootout, like our previous two wins against them. But that doesn't work in the playoffs...or the play-in. And that falls on them for not being serious players, and Borrego for not being a serious HC.

We won a solid number of games this year, our first time above .500 in years. But we constantly shot ourselves in the foot. Shouldn't have even been in the play-in tournament, the team is too talented for that. That saying about "Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard" pretty much sums up this team.
