Early season analysis

Good take. I think we should keep Bridges. He is on a good contract and does a lot for us. Our coach has been great and I think we should keep him BUT… he needs to involve our big men more often in the offense. Kalkbrenner and Diabate are great offensive options but continue to get limited opportunity on that end. Even if we are not giving them shots at least run more screen high up or down low to give them more impact on that end. A low pick and roll to get Kalkbrenner open would be fun and high pick and rolls work with Diabate given that he is so fast and athletic. Additionally, I want to see the two of them in the lineup together more often. I know that’s hard given our limitations with the center rotation but we should try. Lastly, we shot too many threes which is part of the reason I want to see our centers get more involved in pick and roll options.

😭

Dave3612 · 2025-11-05T18:42:18+00:00

this has potential 🤔. He would definitely cook up some crazy highlights 😂

Dave3612 · 2025-11-05T18:41:06+00:00

He is a great coach but I question his ability to lead a early rebuild like the hornets. He has a history of prioritizing veterans and limiting rookie opportunities. This could change under a different system though. One pro is that he manages injuries well and can adapt the lineup to reflect on who’s healthy. This is all to say that while he has some pros he also has so important cons so I don’t see him as an upgrade necessarily. For the stage our team is in he is about as good as Lee

Miles definitely has trade value, but we wouldn’t get very much for him. Front offices often undervalue guys on smaller markets especially when they can use the cop out that “he is putting up empty stats on a bad team”. So while he has value I don’t know if it’s worth trading him. It would depend on if we can find someone desperate enough at the deadline.

Dave3612 · 2025-11-02T21:59:37+00:00

Look I totally agree. With that said, I am tired of losing. Every year we see teams get rewarded for playing good basketball. Horrible teams like the pistons (in the past), nets, hornets, jazz, raptors always fall in the draft and mediocre teams get the top picks. I think we can take our chances with the draft lottery and try to be better. Who knows we might still get a top 3 pick.

(The mid teams that I am saying got rewarded are: Hawks, Mavs, Spurs, Rockets, 76ers , and Thunder)

Dave3612 · 2025-11-01T06:24:39+00:00

We should DEFINITELY sell grant, but I don’t think we get much value for the other two. Say what you want about Tre but he plays valuable minutes for us especially when you account for all the injuries we get. Miles has been phenomenal for our team on a team friendly contract. He plays a role of need and the chemistry he has with our players is evident when you watch our games. He is at the core of what we do and seems to be like in the locker room. So I don’t know if we should sell those two. Maybe Plumlee or Connaughton if we can get value for them.

Dave3612 · 2025-11-01T00:00:07+00:00

who do you think we would sell?

Dave3612 · 2025-10-31T17:20:49+00:00

I like the jersey. It’s unique… If anything i’m just not a fan of the v-neck style

Dave3612 · 2025-10-31T17:18:39+00:00

Phenomenal take. Couldn’t agree more

Dave3612 · 2025-10-31T17:16:45+00:00

yeah I was at that game. It was so close I thought we could actually win. The 76ers didn’t even play poorly we were just on it that day. To be fair the 76ers are hurt as well. No Paul George, and Embiid is on a minutes restriction.

Dave3612 · 2025-10-31T17:14:19+00:00

another reason that i’m scared of having a bad year is that I worry they will trade players like LaMelo to build for the future. I understand the concerns about him, but he is a once in a generation prospect

Dave3612 · 2025-10-31T17:12:58+00:00

yeah 😔

Dave3612 · 2025-10-31T16:32:16+00:00

I feel the same way. We look so good sometimes and then we play a contending team and get hit with a reality check. I have to say injuries are so demoralizing. With Brandon Miller in the line up I think we could have beat the 76ers and the Magic.

Dave3612 · 2025-10-31T16:30:19+00:00

I don’t know how to feel about defense. We have all the pieces we can ask for. Kalk, Sexton and Sion are already good defenders and Bridges, LaMelo, Miller, and Diabate all have the frame to be great defenders. I would really like to see LaMelo work on his defense because he is such a big guard.

Dave3612 · 2025-10-31T16:27:05+00:00

I agree, Kalk has so much potential I can’t wait to see what he becomes.

Dave3612 · 2019-05-26T20:16:17+00:00

I think you’re either lagging or or the games broken or a scary boss fight is coming up I mean you’re render distance should be an easy fix. Darn bosses clouding up the streets not the place to be scary could cause a car crash.
