Anyone know where you can find RJ? I worry a little. He wasn’t that young.

This board must’ve been carnage since 2016, when I left. Who’s survived from the old crew?

Been a while my friend. Good to hear from you.

Banned? Why? Whatever else he’s a Wake super fan.

Where is RJ?

Still alive in here, huh? Hello again.

Getting the old gang back together lol. Love it. A murder of deacons rises from the ashes.

Wow. My phone remembered my log-in. That was a long shot. First post in maybe 5 years to say that I love this hire!

13 more Ls than I expected, but MKG has been out.

If you're charting what you need to see in terms of team improvement since he took over, he's hitting the marks. We're consistently getting better, and I think he'll be able to really recruit well after we post a solid "bubble-like" season, which might be this year. There's every reason to be...

Was the Kyrie pick one of the ones they pulled from the 10 slot? I think they did that twice, meaning those picks weren't the result of tanking, they were the result of an insane run of lottery luck. They were still really nowhere until that last lottery miracle for Wiggins (after a season where...

Barnes was a mini-tank to avoid conveying a draft pick. The Warriors definitely super-tanked, hard, but only for a month, and only trying to preserve their draft pick in that year (side note: they were sweating through that draft lottery, as any team behind them moving up would've bumped them...

Um, MKG has never played a minute of guard. He's also the second best rebounding wing in the league, often going against bigger guys. He's a 3/4 player, not a 2/3 player. The perfect complements to his game are a lights-out SG (not a Wade-type, a Curry-type) and a stretch 4 that opens up the...

O.G. Arlington

Scouts. Look at his listed weaknesses on any scouting report before the draft. Here's one from Chad Ford: Positives Athletic, powerful wing Terrific motor NBA body and strength Quick feet Potentially elite defender Scrappy, cleans up around the basket Excellent rebounder Very poised, a leader...

Que? Winslow's one acknowledged limitation is his offensive ceiling. Frank's known ability is scoring the ball from everywhere. You can make a lot of arguments about the pick, but "offensive fit next to MKG" isn't one of them. A deep-shooting stretch four is perfect.

Actually the team is slightly better on offense with him on the floor. On defense, it's a massive positive difference. And averaging 11 PPG as an NBA wing at 21 isn't all that crappy, not mention the 7.5 boards and all-NBA level D. He just can't shoot 3s. Here's a very basic summary of his...

Thanks, that makes sense. What if they increased the base salary for the still-contracted year -- which they can't by the way, since they're capped out for 15/16 -- and replaced it as part of a longer deal?

I have no idea why MKG agreed to that number in the coming market, but that's a great deal for the Hornets. He's already basically indispensable to them, and already worth around that money for his current play. If he keeps improving he'll be an absolute bargain in two years. The kid is only 21...
