Our first preseason game tips off in two weeks.

I'm fine with the team banning MKG from playing until opening night. At the very least put him out there with elbow and knee pads, one of those shoulder pads like Crash used to wear and a protective facemask. Tape all his fingers together on both hands so he just has two mittens, and steel toed high tops, the kind that go halfway up your lower leg.

Give him a 15 mpg limit until the ASB for all I care. It's going to be a nerve wracking season, going to be holding my breath every time MKG slams into someone or dives on the floor, which is going to be like 15 times per game.

The @hornets will announce training camp roster later today. It will include former Kansa forward Perry Ellis.

I am excited for this bitch to start. I think MKG finally plays a full season, Kaminsky is much improved, and Hibbert plays well above his contract on the 2nd unit.

The only thing I am nervous about is Sessions. He has never really been a winning team's backup PG. Lin was at least solid defensively when he was having an off night.

Five seven-footers on a 19-man roster, plus another who is 6' 11". Only one is considered a "rim-protector," although Zeller's defense is underrated. This could work, or they could end up with a lot of galumphing centers and forwards, Zeller excepted.

Defense is the last thing I'd worry about.

Very intrigued with Sulaimon. Has nice physical tools, but isn't all there mentally at times.

Thats by far the most talented training camp roster we've had since ive followed this team. We have so many decent young guys. Im really curious to see who gets the final few spots.

I wish we would trade MKG already. I cant wait to see Chrisian Wood play for us. I am a fan of his sorta a huge one. I dont think he will be that good but really fun to watch

For me its his injuries. He just cant seem to stay healthy and the fact that he has a clumsyness to him doesn't help. He looks like heis galloping when he runs. Like an animal. I think he will have an injury filled career but I hope not. I would trade him for 2 first if we are lucky to get one and move on
