Different gm and coach now though. I like Mitch Kupchak and James Borrego.Buckeye-NBAFan wrote:thegoat89 wrote:ballbrah wrote:A drastic shake up is needed
That's a panic move. That won't benefit Hornets short or long term. That's how bad trades happen.
The Hornets haven't won a playoff series in 15 years. They should panic. They should panic big time.
That sounds pessimisticphraoh wrote:The 12th pick and Williams won't get you a good player...it will get you either a worse player and longer contract and a higher pick, or it will get you a better player with a longer and bad contract. Capela is much more valuable to Houston than Williams who is a decent combo forward who is an okay shooter (not great) and pretty good defender who can't rebound at all. Houston really has no interest in the 12th pick in this draft...doesn't get them an instant starter, and they are playing for now, not a year or two from now.
The past is the past. That's why Rich Cho and Steve Clifford were fired. However, I have faith in Mitch Kupchak and James Borrego fixing this mezz up.Joest2003 wrote:Does it matter? They have 85 million tied up in Batum, Marvin Williams, Cody Zeller, MKG, and Biyombo. The fact that someone was getting paid to make those decisions is unfathomable.
I'm not nearly concerned about his foot as everyone else is. First major injury in his career. Bones grow back stronger, I know that because it's the navicular bone it might really be a biomechanical thing which the risk for future problems should be diminished with something like orthotics or changes in running mechanics or even just general strengthening all of which I would be able to expect having a team competent enough in charge if I was running a team to manage this. Though I know often owners often are wooed by good talkers and not competent professionals so who knows.thegoat89 wrote:You would really pick Bol Bol over Ja Morant?pootbrah wrote:thegoat89 wrote:
I think Hornets should get Bol Bol at 12. Has future star potential while filling in a need at center for the Hornets.
Every team after pick #1 should draft him IMO. So we'll see if he drops that far.

Anyway, short answer yes. Reason: Im not as concerned for his injury as everyone else and I think he's arguably more talented than Zion.

I'd pick Bol Bol out of those three optionsBuzzCity wrote:Rui, Bol Bol, or Nickeil Alexander-Walker
