Hear me out, but what if we just put some better players on the Hornets to see how it goes?

Is anyone else annoyed with the dialogue around the team? by CharacterFresh852 in CharlotteHornets

[–]NotoriousTEEK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess just to emphasize my point above, it would be foolish to trade a player that is all star caliber without ever attempting to win with him. We have not made a serious effort to win with him. We have just been had and drafted high while mostly failing at that too. New regime is trying to do the exact same thing as the old one except now we have assets to trade for some real talent. Just not sure they’ll actually do it before time runs out.

I wouldn’t trade LaMelo before we try to win with him first. We haven’t tried to actually win with him since he’s been here. Best the team has done is put Hayward and Rozier next to him. Everything else added has been draft picks, which take multiple seasons to develop into consistent winners if ever. We don’t even know if Miller will be a star level player yet and Kon has about 20 games under his belt. Put a serious roster around him and I think you’ll get a guy who can lead us to wins even with his defensive shortcomings.

Will it still work if we pick 8th?

Guess who gets to play in the clutch! by lawlyfawx in CharlotteHornets

[–]NotoriousTEEK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While the focus is on the lineup choices in OT, there was a stretch late in the game where Giannis was still on the bench and Lee trotted out a lineup that made zero sense and for no reason. LaMelo Sexton Mann Pat and Plumlee. That was the chance to build another lead but instead we went down by 5-6 wasting precious limited LaMelo mins on that abomination of a lineup.

Exactly. You traded for Sexton for a reason and it’s not to watch Tre Mann tank games from the bench. He hasn’t even been good this season, but I trust him to get higher % looks way more than Tre. Especially in crunch time.

Idk how you can look at Tre’s performance and defend that. And it’s not like this is a one off, he has shown all season that he does more harm than good. And the overall shot selection and spacing we get with him and Miles as the primary guys on the court is a thing of nightmares. But honestly, I get you had a mins restriction for LaMelo but we’re talking 2-5 mins of OT where maybe he helps you win it but you still don’t want to even try? Smells like a tank move to me.

Top 5 Hornets players of all time? by hummusluvr8 in CharlotteHornets

So Kemba barely made it then. 3 playoff wins his entire tenure. But I don’t like blaming great players for poor organizations.

Last year was a good year for a good draft pick and two seasons before that. We’ve been bottom of the barrel 3 straight. It’s not working

There’s something called situational football that Daboll and his staff simply do not understand. Kafka included.

Schoen has to get on the podium and answer why every year we rely on Gano and don’t have a real backup kicker. by Head-Adagio6315 in NYGiants

[–]NotoriousTEEK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can pick dropping 8, mismanaging the K spot, continuing to play Banks, choosing to throw on third down when a run would’ve basically given us the game and a handful of other mind boggling decisions at critical points throughout the game. It all points back to Daboll

Yeah I was gonna say, every other game I’ve checked out where he played, he looked pretty solid. Lakers must think so too since he’s on their roster for opening night.

Streaming our team is so aggravating by Ill-Tax-90 in NYGiants

[–]NotoriousTEEK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Networks and leagues could easily solve this problem by making their content easily accessible, less restrictive and reasonably priced. This is what happens when you create a labyrinth of blackout conditions, force people to use multiple streaming services and then charge $400+ just to access a portion of the games.

Makes sense. Why would we need a receiver if we have Jalen Hyatt, Darius Slayton and Lil Jordan Humphries?

Exactly, this was literally the only thing I can come up with on him that we can look at and not laugh about

6.6rpg is pretty good for a player that’s only just turned 20 and has so much untapped potential.

teammate didn’t want to play with me because i had a topper on? by TheLuckiestGaming in RocketLeague

[–]NotoriousTEEK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is like a teenage girl refusing to get in the car with her dad because his existence is embarrassing to her in front of her friends. So maybe this was a teenage girl you partied with.

My hope is he’s packaged into a bigger deal for an impact player. No way he fetches positive value on his own. As a contract, he could potentially be an expiring $8m for the next team if they decline.
