2024-25 Hornets General Discussion

I used to be a Mavs fan and we traded kristaps for Davis bertans and Spencer dinwiddie so as long as they bucks are bad enough anything can happen

Haha. Absolutely not. to get giannis is going to cost one of lamelo or miller + 7 1sts.

At this point, i can’t fathom any reason we have to retain micic for any service. Please explain why we don’t just waive him and grab literally anyone for the spot.

I loved that tj had a board toward the end, looked at Micic, and just brought it up himself

DSJ is available or even Devontae Graham would be an improvement over what micic is providing. He must have really enjoyed himself in Paris.

Even giving him the grace of joining a new squad and still early in the season, Josh Green is providing very little even with opportunity with so many out. Shame… Maybe he’s worried the curse will come for him too if he does much of anything.

I used to be a mavs fan i have seen alot of josh green he’s one of my favorite players but if I know one thing its that he has 0 confidence. if he misses a three he will probably not shoot again for the corner. At first I thought he was going to be a great wing for the hornets especially on defense (which is sorta happening I guess?) but I think they need to give him the ball a lot more I love grant Williams tre mann etc but when I look at box score and josh green is 1/2 and grant Williams is 1/6 it makes me think that if he had more opportunities to shine he could be great (tbh he just needs to get used to charlotte)

about micic I don’t know much about him but I feel like we could just pick someone up from free agency like aj Lawson for very cheap he was very good as a two way player for the Mavs last year

Grant gets way more minutes and usage than he should. He should be a 8-10 role not 5/6

as a Mavs fan who has watched grant Williams struggle I stand by this


Just not good enough. I know they kind of hinted at this being a ā€œevaluationā€ season but i feel like this team has been doing that since 2016. During kemba prime it was always kemba and thats it. Now its starting to feel like deja vu. Maybe lamelo and brandon but after that?


your making it look worse than it is

grant Williams has shot 36% from three so statistically this season Josh has shot better from three

Its still early but hes averaging 4.6 points 1.6 reb and 1.1 ast in 23 minutes a game. Not good enough but my main point had less to do with josh green and moreso with whole roster.

I know they are preaching patience and i get it. Just ready to watch a winning basketball team. Not looking at mock drafts before all star break.lol

I think we actually have a deep and talented roster, but it’s going to be hard to win games when you have two starters and two key reserves in street clothes. To the point that was made earlier, that’s going to push other guys out of their optimal roles. The problem we’ve had for years is that guys like Grant, Cody, Nick etc. have had to take on larger roles than they should because our front line guys are always hurt or otherwise unavailable. You can make it work for a few games here or there, but that stuff catches up with you over the course of a full season. And it’s happening again this season.

In no way shape or form can you have your starting 3 take 1 shot a game. It’s really bad when you’re getting almost no offense from the 5.

This should be a priority.

What I’m trying to say is grant should not be getting these responsibilities and I think Josh should get more of them

The frustrating thing for years has been never being able to see what a core looks like because the core is never together. It’s the damndest thing I’ve ever seen.

My ire over Micic is that this isn’t who he is. The other guys under discussion here have limits to who they are. We saw who Vasa was last season, and he wasn’t the guy that was getting his pocket picked by the 10 year old trying to impress his dad at the gym. He is not remotely this bad, this careless, this ineffective, this net negative on the court.

Maybe there’s a real explanation for it, but right now we have nothing to go on other than he looks like he flat out doesn’t GAF. That sucks
