Nata's right. By re-signing this pos, we're far from changing the culture of this team.

I'm pretty sure Nata said he didn't regret signing Hayward. I wouldn't be too concerned about what he thinks.

..

Nata is an enigma to me.

How does he even have his audience/standing where we are even discussing what he thinks? How do we even know who he is?

I'm wondering about his curriculum vitae.

1) Did he ever coach basketball on any level?

2) Did he ever play basketball on any level?

3) Did any basketball organization ever contract him for any scouting of any kind?

4) Was he Ivy League educated or did he attend a notable/prestigious college?

5) Is he related in any way to anyone affiliated with the Hornets at any point in their history?

6) Did he at least attend school for journalism?

7) Does he have a mediagenic voice? Presence? Personality? Ashley Shahamadi looks? Charm?

What .makes this guy any more qualified to spread his insight than any of us?

Our anonymity? Is that it?

Get me on Locked On Hornets and you will be talking about me as if I matter.

I don't.

He doesn't.

He's also antisocial and annoying.

Even if the unlikely (and I’ll give it a sliver of a chance considering the video of her trying to break his door down to get in) full truth of what happened between them paints him in a better light than his current reputation, there’s no universe where tweeting **** like this is anything but totally moronic and trash. Like, even if she was threatening kids or something you gotta just take it on the chin at this point and move forward.

One of the stipulations of this contract should have been a social media purge and ban. That’s on the team

Whoever that is doesn't know more about changing the culture of the team than the guys who were bright on to change it and who have been preaching about the importance of changing it.

You've made it very clear on numerous occasions you feel this way. The horse has been flogged. :wink:

I hope they can rebuild his value based on on-court play and move him at the deadline.

I'm guessing his contract situation (among other things) prevented this possibility, but I wish they could have moved him in a reasonable deal and kept PJ instead. Id say there is a decent chance they tried, but I doubt an actual reasonable deal was available.

This guy is without a doubt the worst Hornets twitter follow online. All he does is try to go viral for posting negative stuff about the team, he might as well be an NBA Central account.

I think the goal is to eventually trade Miles as part of a major trade down the line. Add him with a bunch of our future 1st gets us a real piece back in a trade.

Subscribed. This 1000%, dude talks so pompous like he's an expert and has some kind of inside knowledge when he's literally just a podcaster who follows NCAA basketball and gets to join the Locked On people sometimes. He doesn't know much but he sure thinks he does.

Exactly, he makes it a point to quote-tweet bigger accounts so he can get more traffic and it's always on stuff like this. Plus he waffles. One day he's tweeting about how terrible LaMelo is and the next he's tweeting highlight packages of "his PG".

And honestly I don't like Miles much either, but he's an asset. If you dont want him like him stop bitching about it or find another team because 90 percent of the league would want him. **** annoying.

not sure why anyone is annoyed at the guy that simply posted a screenshot of a tweet that millions of people saw before miles deleted it. it's not like he was the only one who screenshoted what he said. and miles is the one who tweeted out something he never ever should have said, let alone on social media.
miles is lucky local and national media didn't really pick up on the deleted tweet because it was about as low class as it gets.
miles is toxic. his gf is toxic. just hold your breath and hope we can trade him next summer for equal value before he does something really bad again. its only a matter of time.

This is 100% on Miles. Self-created situation that he and his allowed to escalate to what it became.

Him and his handlers should've been advised to get the **** off toxic social media to begin with, or at the very least have the emotional intelligence to not take the rage bait.

Guess what genius, you've made yourself a target for anyone looking for a quick screenshot or sound bite.
