-----
Bonus:
LaMelo triple-doubles: 10
Hayward games played: 56 (not all in Charlotte, is traded at the deadline)
Clifford let go after season?: yes
Rozier still in Charlotte?: yes
Mark Williams enters the rotation (15+ mpg) before the trade deadline?: yes
Most out-of-nowhere performance: Hayward goes berserk on a hardcore tanking team and drops 54. Hornets narrowly win because LaMelo and Terry disappeared. GH is traded a week later

27-55 unhealthy or if trading key vets to tank.
36-46 if relatively healthy and Miles somehow is returned to play half the season or more.
Sadly I see no prospect for making the playoffs short of a huge trade that magically catapults this team into a contender (movie script worthy).

I’m too lazy to pick a record, I just think it’ll be bottom 3 in the East.

how much effort is required to pick a number between 0 and 82?

We already got the first L of the season with Gordon's new hairdo.

This is where I’m at, Hornets moves since April have depressed me. The arrow was pointed up and now it’s pointed back to treadmill. Fml

I'm going to say 28-54, even after making win now trades, and the Hornets clean house after
Part of me knows that this is the season Hayward stays healthy and we finish 40-42, 10th seed, 23 point loss in the playin and everyone loses their mines

Ok fine, 27-55 will be the record after Mitch realizes this season is a wash thanks to the off-season from hell. I do not think they get rid of Clifford though but I do think they move pieces for future assets and cap flexibility. Though that last part is wishful thinking. Also we won’t be as healthy as we have been.

I honestly have no **** clue how many games they'll win. I could see it being anywhere from 25 to like 42ish maybe, idk...

In my opinion, a lot of things need to go right in order for the Hornets to crack .500.
I see them on the high end around say 38 and on the low end like 30?
So I'll go with 34-48 provided they don't trade vets or have big injuries.

24 wins max we are fd with the attkinson blunder, hiring Clifford, bridges, not drafting duren and Eason. Hayward will be injured and Melo has no running mates.

Has a city ever had the worst NFL and NBA teams in the same year?

I'm guessing a win total in the low-to-mid 30s.
I'll go with 33 wins.
