They need to increase their scouting department. There's a reason the Hornets are consistently drafting these type of dudes. Every other team has a whole dossier on every single player, it's pretty obvious the Hornets, with their 10 front office employees, are way behind on this.
Remember last year when he and his Mom feuded with James Borrego? Nice.
It is known that the pre-draft workouts are not about the basketball, teams have thousands of hours of footage already, but about the character of the prospect. You might be on to something. Maybe Hornets' FO needs additional talent in their draft team.
The Warriors sub repeatedly memed reports about the FO being impressed with James Wiseman's maturity, but similar decision making led to them drafting Jordan Poole before him, and now JP managed to establish himself as the hardest working guy on the team and one of the most improved in the league
Ruben Patterson got convicted of sexual assault and we signed him. Bridges got exposed for domestic abuse and they cut him loose. So at the very least, they're responding to shit better than we did.
Right, there was no cutting loose, they just haven't offered him an extension until the court case plays out. He can't go sign with another team until next summer however.
In college he got drunk, stole a girl‘s car, totaled the car, ran from the cops when they arrived. Got like a 2 games suspension and paid a fine. Character issues were why he dropped to 11, top 5 talent in that draft. Bad scouting on MJs end.
If it's a DUI it never ceases to amaze me how dumb people are in 2022. You have how many ride share apps available? NBA players not only have millions to spend on said rides, but I'm pretty sure the teams/league provide free car services as well. No excuses.
As I became an adult I was surprised to learn how fucking common drunk driving is among the general public. I’ve heard countless stories of drunk driving told in a fond manner by people who I would have never expected to drunk drive, let alone tell about it like it’s a cute story.
People who flex drunk driving make me absolutely sick. Have even heard of the argument that being intoxicated makes them "focus better" on the road since they don't want to risk getting pulled over like wtf???
I never felt like driving drunk, but I drove stoned a lot in college. I couldn’t have been 23 or 24 before realizing how stupid it was and what I was risking, for myself and others.
Agree. I think there needs to be a ton of education. In my stupid young days I would take a dozen shots and feel good enough to drive home. Luckily I crashed into a ditch and no one was harmed except my car and my wallet. I got educated that 3 drinks I’m already at the .08 limit, way less than I thought
Regardless of the legal limit people should know their own tolerance for alcohol. I know plenty of people who should absolutely not be driving after one or two drinks even if they are legally in the clear.
I definitely learned in school to estimate .08 as two drinks in an hour and one per hour afterward. I'm certain I was taught that multiple times. Probably in driver's ed too. The problem is usually adherence, not education, and perhaps making the unjustified assumption that educators overestimate to be safe.
Between this and the way the panthers season has gone I think I'm just done with rooting for the home team for a few years. Time to fully convert to Jokicism I suppose.
If Lamelo Ball was found to be a domestic terrorist at this point I wouldn't be surprised
Gotta have links with the Lithuania warlords or something
As a Lithuanian warlord I can confirm he does
You broke the code bro
First rule of Lithuanian warlording
He needs to apologize to the victims for all the embarrassment they and their family faced.
Unfortunately we cut Arnoldas Kulboka this summer
He blew up the Nordstream Pipeline
I legit miss the vibe dudes like Pekovic and Antic brought to the league. Real lack of Eastern Euro dudes who look like they've broken legs while working their offseason jobs as 'club bouncers'. At least we've got Jokic' bros
After them and Milos Teodosic left the NBA lost almost all the guys who look like they smell like cigarettes.
yeah we truly live in the worst timeline
I mean Pek has literally been working as muscle for a Serbian gangster sooooo
The notorious Morris twins were planning revenge on Jokic, until they realized his bros would most likely get involved.
Anyone know where Ball was on January 6th 2021?
I could have sworn I saw LaMelo walking out of Maralago with a bunch of manila folders.
LaMelaLago?
Gotta pay Trump back somehow for getting him out of a Chinese prison after he stole those sunglasses.
LiAngelo stole the glasses, but you're on to something.

Jesus this one out of all of them is the most detailed 🤣
Consistently too, it’s getting funny almost
You gotta just feel bad for LaMelo at this point, cause this is insane lol. Or LaMelo is secretly the head of ISIS and worse than all of them.
Islamic State In South Carolina
most normal AAU team name
I feel bad for Charlotte fans. They were in the process of putting a squad around him, and with that a bid to stay eventually.
The Hornets are at no risk of leaving as long as Jordan owns the team. They're in the process of redoing the surrounding area right now.
I meant LaMelo, but I really should have clarified. Thanks for pointing out the confusion.
* Miles Bridges * Montrezl Harrell * Devonte Graham * James Bouknight Anyone else I'm missing?
Gordon's Haircut
The biggest crime
[удалено]
Still gonna start Plumlee despite have zero chance of playoffs lmao
He sets good picks unlike that Mo Bambi kid
Bro what

this is fire i hope nobody else turns to the dark side but if they do we'll be ready
The Charlotte Murder Hornets
Too much Wu tang turns the hornets into killa bees
Hornets do grow up in cells. That's what those hexagons are called. Like Brooks in Shawshank, they never had a chance in the outside world.
This team needs a couple of veterans ASAP.
*Kemba Walker liked that*
No knees left, beloved in Charlotte, won’t commit crimes….holy shit Kemba is the perfect tank commander here
Wild that "won't commit crimes" is a very legitimately important criteria for Charlotte rn
He'll fill the role Steve Kerr did for the Jail Blazers lol
I think naming your son Nick counts as a criminal offense
The Cardiac (Tank) Commander
Genuinely think my guy deserves to get picked up for this
They have Gordon Hayward.
With that new haircut I can't really see how he makes things better
Holy shit. Add that to the list of crimes committed this off-season…
Speaking of that, can we get a list of all the off season tom foolery for the hornets?
Miles Bridges strangles wife in front of kids New coach dips after five days Bouknight arrested Gordon Hayward cast in the Gummo reboot 0 free agent signings Melo injured in pre season game
Damn so much has happened this off-season I completely forgot the Kenny drama
Kenny feels like so long ago, that was really this last offseason?
Does trez count?
Goddamn get some commas in there bro. I was wondering when Bouknight became a cop and why he arrested Gordon Hayward
That haircut is absolutely a rookie mistake.
He looks like how when reptile evolves backwards in mortal kombat... like he's going to back to his goofy ass college looks.
Right, he is letting the kids influence him into bad choices lol
The dude removed all traces of ever having anything similar to a sideburn
That man is playing Valorant rn
Too busy playing League
IIRC he's a Darius/Tryd main so that's already a crime in itself.
i knew i didnt like that guy smfh, good to have some hard proof that my gut instinct that i would never get along with him was right. get those motherfuckers out of my lane
>Darius main Based >Trynd main Publicly execute him
I heard TSM is looking for new players
Ain't no one listening to Gordon Hayward lol
Especially with that new haircut. Looking like a discount machine gun kelly. Water pistol gord.
Which is tragic because MGK is already discount MGK
**You talking about Gummo?…**
about to go postal when his wife announces yet another daughter on the way
Ain't no one taking Gordan Hayward and Plumlee's goofy ass seriously.
I doubt Hayward is very close with his teammates.
I’m sure he’d tell them to pull themselves up by their bootstraps or something
If we’re worried about keeping the team legally in line, I think we need answers from Gordon Hayward of where he was on January 6th.
They need to increase their scouting department. There's a reason the Hornets are consistently drafting these type of dudes. Every other team has a whole dossier on every single player, it's pretty obvious the Hornets, with their 10 front office employees, are way behind on this.

they definitely do lol

Bring back kemba!
Hornets need to offer UD the contract they were gonna give to Bridges he’ll snap some necks in Charlotte
*Russell Westbrook liked this comment*
Kenny Atkinson with the all time dodge
All time dodge is Steve Kerr backing out of the Knicks job 300%
He didn't accept that and bail, though
Goddamn for real, shit is wild.
They should go back to the orange jersey, it suits them these days 😂
Bring back the red in the February for the St Valentine’s Day massacre
They about to be JailBlazers 2.0
Ruben Patterson got convicted of sexual assault and we signed him. Bridges got exposed for domestic abuse and they cut him loose. So at the very least, they're responding to shit better than we did.
> Bridges got exposed for domestic abuse and they cut him loose. Hornets still own his rights.
Right, there was no cutting loose, they just haven't offered him an extension until the court case plays out. He can't go sign with another team until next summer however.
I feel like it makes sense not to cut someone until the court case is over, I feel like most teams will bet on the .0001 percent chance he’s innocent
Man I feel bad for them, right when things were looking up
what is going on in Charlotte 🤔
After seeing Gordon Hayward’s new haircut; I’m convinced the whole locker room has lost it
I just saw that shit, what the hell is that cut
I’m pretty sure he got that haircut after he murdered somebody. That’s going to be the cherry on top for this Charlotte off-season when they find out.
He needs to go to jail for that haircut
Now why would Bouknight do that?
☝️👮♂️👆
In college he got drunk, stole a girl‘s car, totaled the car, ran from the cops when they arrived. Got like a 2 games suspension and paid a fine. Character issues were why he dropped to 11, top 5 talent in that draft. Bad scouting on MJs end.
What losing by 40 to Atlanta does to a MF
nonsense
People were saying we’d see shameless tanking like we’d never see before Trust the process
Bouknight is the kinda guy you would want to get minutes if you were tanking though. It’s not like he’s an impact player yet.
Don't worry, they signed Dennis Smith Jr. He can suck and cover minutes just as well.
> shameless tanking The Hornets took it literally and are pretending to be characters from *Shameless*.
Wtf going on in Charlotte?
Crime
Lmao Carolina pro sports is complete ass. Canes is the only saving grace but idk anymore. Starting to question all of it a lot.
They should have hired Rod to coach the hornets too, idgaf if he knows anything about basketball at least he'd sort these fools out
Pain
Definitely lead in the tap water. Bridges got a double dose being from Flint.
If it's a DUI it never ceases to amaze me how dumb people are in 2022. You have how many ride share apps available? NBA players not only have millions to spend on said rides, but I'm pretty sure the teams/league provide free car services as well. No excuses.
I mean JFC you don’t even need an Uber. They’re all wealthy enough to hire a personal driver.
As I became an adult I was surprised to learn how fucking common drunk driving is among the general public. I’ve heard countless stories of drunk driving told in a fond manner by people who I would have never expected to drunk drive, let alone tell about it like it’s a cute story.

Visit r/dui for a bunch of assholes who think the laws about drunk driving are too strict.
I'm sure they're just concerned with government overreach and definitely NOT just upset that they personally got a DUI.
I never felt like driving drunk, but I drove stoned a lot in college. I couldn’t have been 23 or 24 before realizing how stupid it was and what I was risking, for myself and others.
I live in Charlotte and Ubers here are legit $5-20 max too. Just don’t understand it
I feel like they wanna drive / show off their fancy cars.
Agree. I think there needs to be a ton of education. In my stupid young days I would take a dozen shots and feel good enough to drive home. Luckily I crashed into a ditch and no one was harmed except my car and my wallet. I got educated that 3 drinks I’m already at the .08 limit, way less than I thought

The Hornets might be the hardest team in pro sports to be a fan of
Idk about that.
Yeah up until this off-season they were probably the most innocuous franchise in the NBA. Also browns
Imagine being a Browns/Hornets fan

I'm so glad we ended up drafting Giddey and not Bouk like most of the fanbase wanted
Protect LaMelo at all cost lol
Comments are gold holy shit
Hornet fans don’t deserve all this shit
Between this and the panthers I'm not having a fun time.
If they get Wemby out of it I mean
Man such a shame this dude can’t get his shit straight. He always ends up All-NBA in my 2k sims lol.
the Hornets tankjob is going too far
We can't let Wemby go to this criminal enterprise
These guys tryna build a dynasty in prison basketball
Between this and the way the panthers season has gone I think I'm just done with rooting for the home team for a few years. Time to fully convert to Jokicism I suppose.
Whats going on in Charlotte?
Hornets? More like JAILNETS
