Will A Monk Still Need A Walker To Travel Miles By Season's End?: 2K18-19 Charlotte Hornets Thread

[Tobias]

Who do you take?

ja 100%

so sick of the zion hype. not to say zion isnt gonna be really good but give me ja

(and it isnt a unc/duke thing either bc i honestly think barrett will have the best nba career out of the top 3 behind ja)

The team I grew up cheering for moves to New Orleans, takes Baron Davis with them, drafts Chris Paul, Katrina happens and plays in OKC for a couple of seasons, which in turn causes a rich man from there to steal Seattle’s team, league steps in and blocks that CP3 trade to the Lakers, steals Anthony Davis from us, finally gives us our team name back on some , steals our All-Star Game, now get Zion...

We win seven games in a season and get gifted MKG ... present day we’re hoping to take Bol Bol and in a damned-if-you-do, damned-if-you-don’t situation with paying Kemba or let him walk

I’m tired of the league treating that franchise as its charity case

Yes, I’m mad

fukk Silver, fukk Stern, fukk the NBA League Office. fukk the Saints too

I just needed to vent

I don’t know what’s the point of being a Hornets fan right now

Also, never forget, the League OWNED the Hornets the year they blocked the CP3 trade and when they got AD at #1
Again....fukk the NBA

 

[Tobias]

Facts, cause they’re were trying to make the team attractive to sell to someone.

I’m still tight this morning

League changed the draft odds to discourage tanking, yet the Hornets still picking in their usual spot between 9-13, and three teams jumped ahead of us

Jeremy Lamb doesn’t make two miracle game winners, we’re probably picking 4th

Meanwhile, the Pelicans telling everyone they’re only play Anthony Davis 25 minutes max and randonlmly sitting out games and they get gifted the #1 pick again

Hornets are the classic definition of a treadmill team

I’m convinced the league ain’t gonna help us out anymore. They gave us a team back and the All-Star Game and look at us like

They’re always trolling us. Just like in ‘08, we lost a coin toss to the Bulls for the 8th pick and lost, Bulls ended up winning the draft and got Derrick Rose, we end up with D.J. Augustin

so guys what number do you think nas little will wear for us next year?

@Tobias, you must be the one of the guys behind Baseline Buzz

Nas will wear #5

I might switch my attention from the Hornets to the Hurricanes going forward

The NBA 2K18-19 season is upon us and Buzz Family seems like we've been stuck in NBA Purgatory since the Hive came back to The QC. There's a few major issues we need to resolve by the end of the year that could completely change the face of this franchise.

The first key issue is the complete Front Office overhaul. Jordan has tried going outside of the box with the recent hires he's made to the Hornets' Front Office. UNC Alum and former Laker mastermind Mitch Kupchak was brought in at GM to stabilize things and James Borrego was hired as the coach to give a fresh approach with some new blood.

The next and most major issue is what to do with our lone All-Star PG Kemba Walker, The Hornets newly assembled front office must decide if they are going to deal him by the trade deadline or let him play out his final contract year. The former seems like the best move, although it would be odd for the city to host its first All-Star Game in some time and not have its lone All-Star present to represent the city. On the on the other land letting him playout his contract by season end would lead to no returns and allowing Kemba to walk away into Free Agency unrestricted.

Lastly, this season will give us a chance to see what type of identity and team we will be this year. The Hornets have some good young talent in Malik Monk and newly drafted Miles Bridges. Another interesting acquisition that he Hornets made was the signing of veteran guard Tony Parker. This particularly interesting because if the Hornets find a suitor to take Kemba then Parker might serve as a stop gap until they find his replacement. On top of that Hornets still have a nice set of wings in the likes of Former High Draft pick MKG, overpaid Batum and the inconsistent Lamb. Plus the franchise has brought back fan favorite Bismack Biyombo.

Here's a video of Greg Anthony & Drew Gooden breaking down the preview of the Hornets' upcoming season:

Most critics don't have us placing no higher than 3rd placed in the Southeastern Division.

PG: Kemba Walker - Tony Parker - Devonte' Graham

I just want y’all to be great cuz it makes the city lit

I’m tired of only going to select games to see the other players ball

 

[Pressure]

I'm done

 

[Bryan Danielson]

Like I’m not trynna shyt on y’all and I ain’t trynna Troll of be funny.... but I would be happy if y’all built yallself to be a top 4 team in the East.

If y’all made that y’all consistent ceiling.... that shyt. Would be lit

 

[Henry Orbit]

Another safe, low ceiling pick. I know it’s a 10% chance you’re picking a starter at this point of the draft cause the Hornets are finishing 10th in the east every year. But damn take a fukkin swing, cowards
