Interesting.

Maybe we get Miles out the way before the draft. I would think if we can't get a deal done before FA he probably knows another team will offer him more money.

I think the key for a Bridges contract will be guaranteed money. A front-loaded contract with more guaranteed money upfront seems to be a viable, workable deal. The Hornets can commit to their man yet mitigate risk with a moveable contract.

Who knows, LaMelo isn't a leader and will likely never be one. Nothing wrong with that, not everyone has the desire or personality to lead.

We really going to go in on Lamelo because he may have been busy and didn't want to go say hi to his coach in Boston. Lol.

Yep, no issue here with LaMelo declining to join the Boston cheer squad

if it wasn't obvious, I'm just kidding. I don't care if he doesn't show up to other teams games.

The island boy thing is kinda on the nose though

I think it's cool for guys to go, but not actually to pull for the coach because y'all can do that at home. I just like going to experience the environment.

LMAO at that car clip SWeed :lol:

!

Celtics are world champs. Let the bidding begin for Miles. Agree I hope we get a quick answer before the draft on his status.

Laughing at my desk over here

I have super mixed feelings about the LaMelo driving stuff.

On one hand I'm legit terrified for his safety. On the other hand, its kind of hilarious that the Hornets have one of the most famous athletes in the country and he drives around the city like an absolute maniac in cars that look like they could belong to The Joker in a Batman comic.

I'm just glad Melo has truly embraced Charlotte by driving as stupidly as possible at all times

JMAC3 · Post #277 » by **JMAC3** » Tue Jun 18, 2024 4:16 pm

Nobody is ever happy lol..

Tatum: fans say he is too boring, too robotic, too corny
Luka: Yeah he is a generational offensive player, but he sucks on defense and is fat.
Melo: Pick one of the 1k complaints

Basically you need to be Wemby, Ant, Jokic, Giannis, Curry or SGA... and I it is only a matter of a few years before mainsteam flips on half of this list too..

Why doesn't the NBA have stars people like? Because people bitch too much about everything lol

If he truly embraced being a terrible Charlotte driver, he would get an Altima with an expired tag.

Funny how when we interviewed JJ for the HC position it wasn't news to the Nat'l media.

The moment the Lakers interviewed him it was breaking news. The media really should do a better job covering smaller markets. It's basically LA and NY the only markets they care about.
