Running everyone off of the floor with that lineup, and the pace wouldn't stop with the bench

Think Grant would be the piece in a sign and trade for Bridges. Only happens if Bridges is dead set on coming back to Michigan or if MJ simply doesn't want to pay him but since Charlotte can match any offer, they'll take Grant with one year left or extend him to a different deal. Id be surprised if MJ just lets Miles walk when he doesn't have to and in general, Grant is a great piece in a sign and trade for a non superstar. Id move Jerami for Portlands pick or the NOLA pick Portland could own straight up at this point. 2 top 12 picks is fun to think about
The Killian leap is here
Hol' on playa. If you talking bout leaping from going back to Europe to actually looking like a functioning NBA player, then perhaps he's taken THAT leap. But I ain't placing a ton of weight on this game specifically. These the same nikkas Saben Lee drop 40 on on a consistent basis. I do like to see this more aggressive Killian on offense though. He gotta get that jumper respectable though.
I'm glad they put him in a no expectation position and just let him be. He's not the man but he can shine at times. Still wasn't worth the pick as high as they used on him but he has some value.The Killian leap is here

Yesterday was a G-League game . Not taking anything out of that .
what Killian did against Brooklyn and Philly is far more impressive . Still nice to see

Yall were straight up hating, saying the kid couldn't play basketball. How can you make it to the league and not be able to hoop 
. It was wrong and a disservice imo
. Breh was already balling in limited/legitimate minutes against better comp this season before this game. Im happy for the kid, he's finally had a nice stretch where he could ball injury free. Just barely has a full season under his belt in total games played (
). Keep it up Youngblood/work on that game this summer

Keep it up Youngblood/work on that game this summerNo. I don't think anybody was hating. I, like most people was basing my thoughts on what I saw Killian display on the court. You consistently have a more optimistic look on prospects than most of us and take a more glass half full mindset. Nothing wrong with that, and at times it's admirable, but it doesn't make the ones that see it half empty, or in Killian's case barely a squig, wrong or hating. Killian was not looking very good at basketball for damn near every time he stepped on the court. And it wasn't just from a development standpoint. Dude was playing extremely timid on the court in the offensive end and his defense wasn't great enough to make up for that. Regardless of the amount of games played he just didn't look like a hooper or that her belonged on the court with NBA players. It's not hate, it's just based on the empirical data provided by Killian's play. As it changes those opinions will mostly do the same. But the onus is on him to change peoples minds with his play, not on people to assume he will get better just because. I'm glad to see him playing better, but I'm still watching with a skeptics eye to see if this is real and can stay consistentYall were straight up hating, saying the kid couldn't play basketball.

Miles is their second best and at times best player he’d be stupid to let him go
If he plays like has has been playing he’s absolutely worth a seventh pick. If his three picks up he’s untradable. Elite defense solid rebounding elite passing and he’s become above average at the rim this year. And a three pointer and he’s better than Lonzo because Lonzo is too scared to attack the rim and go to the line.

MJ might not think one good year equals 25+ mill a year for 4 years. Look at the contract he gave Heyward, Rozier and didnt give to Kemba...anything is possible with MJ.
I say that, and expect Bridges to stay in Charlotte btw

Time to go!!
He’s the only interior defensive presence they have. PJ Washington has fallen out of favor. Mj isn’t letting that go.
Facts about the competition, but the point for me is he probably wasn't going to do this against those players the way he's been playing before a month ago. He's been a solid defender but now he's becoming more of a playmaker on defense and is still the best passer. I just like seeing the growth. Still needs the 3 ball to go in if he wants to be an expected starter and show consistency in the way he's been playing lately but the signs are there in a way they haven't been before.
