I have to have my locked on hornets every week day
Same
Preach
Can't believe kemba a coach now for the hornets
Doug is on the edge of his seat, refreshing his phone every few seconds looking for the trade 😂
The fact yall think bridges is a star is crazy, that dude is a chucker
Kemba definitely needs to be brought in and instill a work ethic with these guards.
NO!!!!
If miles leaves im genuinely upset cuz its not like were getting anything for him
What makes you think we won't get anything for him???
@@LightUpDaBomb1Because who do they have to give? Nothing that makes up for Miles. They don't have any picks ether
@@cjmitch91 The report said Mann and Norman powell
@@cjmitch91they got first in either 2030 or 2031 that just became available
Mann and Powell are older and not the same one day they are good then have 20 bad games neither are physically abound none has ever average 21/7/4 in a year if you put thier stats together we need no more players smaller than 6 6"
Im going to sayvone thing no one is perfect and Charlotte should put a clause in his contract to nullify contract if he violated.He came back from a year off played every day average 21/7.4/3 & he is a physical presence he would play his natural position the 3 Miller and Melo Backcourt?Grant starts until Salaun is ready and Mark. There IS NO ONE ON THAT ROSTER BESIDE KAWHI WORTH A SIGN AND TRADE MILES GOT DOUBLE TEAMED LAST YEAR NOT USED TO IT.BUT HIS CHARISMA ON COURT WITH MELO AND PLAYING A SEASON WITH BRANDON MILLER HE IS THE PIECE THAT CONNECTS ALL.WE MUST KEEP HIM OR THIS IS A CLIFFORD/KUPCAKE MOVE. WE NEED TO MOVE BERTANS esp his 16 Million Contractfor occasionally get hot cant play D soft rebounder cant jump???/CODY MARTIN PLAYED 56 GAMES IN 2 YRS /NIC SMITH HAS VALUE/ BUT WE KEEP MANN/MICIC& MAYBE TRADE R.JACKSON OR KEEP HIM IF LAMELO ANKLES BROKE.MILES IS A MACHINE 39 MIN A GAME 110" EFFORT.SO IF ONE OF DOUGS CORE GETS HURT WHO CAN PUT UP 20 IN A FLASH LIKE MILES AND HIS SHOOTING WILL BE BETTER BC HE WONT BE DOUBLE TEAMED??REMINDS ME OF LETTING MONK GO..MMMMTHEN OUBRE ON A VETS MINIMUM AVG. 17/4/3.??????QUIT MAKING MISTAKES MILES WANTS TO BE A HORNET HOW MANY PLAYERS OF HIS CALIBER WOULD STAND UP & SAY THAT ???MESSING UP...HE COUL STEP IN AT 3 AND PKAY JOSH HART TYPE ROLE PHYSICAL REBOUND?GET BALL TO PLAYMAKERS AND HIT SET 3'S AND DEFENSE IS BETTER HE JUMPS OUT THE GYM.MARK MY WORDS WE TRADE HIM....MELO OR ANYONE GETS HURT WERE IN THE LOTTERY...AGAIN.THE F/O NEEDS TO THINK WEIGH BENEFITS WE DONT NEED GUARDS.WE HAVE MELO MANN MICIC MILLER AND R.JACKSON IF NEEDED JOSH GREEN.MILES IS A NATURAL PHYSICAL SMALL FORWARD WHO CAN FILL IT UP IF NEEDED OR PLAY HIS ROLE LIKE BORREGOS LAST SEASON WHEN WE WERE COMPETITIVE..STUPID MOVE. .
Watching this at 2:38 and kemba is announced as part of coaching staff lol.
We’re a completely different team without miles 😪
Doesn't necessarily mean we will be a bad one because we are already that.
That might not be a bad thing..
If we get Melo and Williams back we are a much better team even without him.
@@wesanderson7918not true in the slightest lol
@@sakthithanigai5036 Miles plays zero defense, has lost a step, and only got the numbers he got because everyone was gone. Are we better with him, yes, but it’s time to move on.
Kemba is a special guy,and he will be tough on the guards
Outside of the Scoot Henderson stuff last year Doug normally makes sense.
IMHO, the first banner the new regime hangs in the rafters should be a Conference Finals Win or a Championship banner. Change the culture, set high expectations and set the bar high.
Great show fellas!!!
I wish yall did locked on Panthers too! Great show fellas keep up the great work!
I hope LaMelo gets some knowledge from Kemba now that’s he is part of the Hornets
There is no one on the Clippers I would want 💀
Real
How about Ty
@@fotoGR3at Who is that?
@@AndrewMcmeanshe’s good but we have melo, Reggie, tre Mann, and micix
@@AndrewMcmeans No 👎
The next Hornets player enhancement coach ✊🏽
LOL! Doug ran Will Kunkel out of Charlotte. Doug's animosity toward Kunkel was such a funny running joke that would pop up every now and then.
I stopped my season tickets because they traded Kemba away.
Now he’s on the staff
Pheeewww.. i thought theres no podcasts.. 3 things that makes my day beautiful. Coffee, diaper changes and Hornets Podcasts.
Hey Walker, add AlJefferson to the all nba list 3rd team all NBA in 2013-2014 🤞💜
“YOU IDIOT!” Gotta keep this in every intro fellas
Agree retiring his Jersey holds too many records not to.
Hornets need a good SG about 6-6 or better.
I am also a Clippers fan and I am very annoyed :|
Yikes: 75 M over 3 yrs to stay. Who was the competition because I'm unaware of anyone willing to pay over the NT-MLE?
There must be some conduct clause.
CLIPPERS ALWAYS REHABBING PLAYERS - MAKING THEM BETTER.
If the Clippers can sign hometown product Kevin Porter. The Pistons need to step-up and do the same for Miles Bridges.
Clippers have 15 players under contract now, but are trying to move Westbrook.
That they are interested in Miles, tells me they are only able to offer him the Vet Min as they have nothing else left.
Clippers already used their BAE on Nico Batum, which hardcaps them at the 1st Apron, with team salary around 171 M right now. Therefore they couldn't have been offering much.
According to Woj, today, CHA already has a (low ball) offer for Miles, and will keep him can't find a S&T partner.
Looking around the league at available cap space and exceptions, Miles may end up getting in the 5-7 M range for 1st season.
No wonder CHA has been patient, hoping that teams around the NBA don't want to take the political risk to sign him.
Update: Cavs me get Miles as someone else pointed out there was interest.
I hadn't looked at Cavs. They have 161.1 M in team cap for 12 players (2 not guaranteed).
Yes, they have available the 12.82 M NT-MLE.
That would bring cap to 173.92 with 13 players if used, but would hardcap the team at the 1st Apron (178.132 M).
I see no need for S&T if no other team is offering more than 13 M. They could make for up to 4 yrs with player option and no conduct clauses as enticement.
There would 4.2 M left for 2 minimums (2nd rd pics?).
At that point any team desiring a Okoro could get him to sign an offer sheet and there would be nothing CLE could do to match, as they would be within 1 M of the 1st Apron hardcap.
Any S&T would hardcap team at 1st Apron so no need.
looking forward to watching the summer league game this Saturday in the Cali Classic!!! Don't really want Miller playing in the Summer League unless Coach Lee is coaching.
🍻🍻🍻🍻
Gary Trent JR.
Being interested is not the same as realistic my getting a player.
The miles bridges hate podcast 😂
It's not even hate it's just what's realistic
@@rhettro_ it’s not just this episode either
I hope he (me being optimistically selfish) fiesnt get a better offer than ours and signs with us.
People are mentally unstable when it comes to miles so he’s trash and great at the same time is what everyones saying he’s no good but we’re a better team with him than without? Make it make sense.
You still don’t get it. Miles is a FREE agent and he has strong say on where he wants to go. You can cannot do things without his consent unless you let him go for free.
All Miles has to do is to tell the hornets I will only sign with the clippers and no other teams. Other teams will then not be willing to put a big competing offer. So the hornets can only accept a weaker package from the clips (Bones hyland plus Powell) or else pay more than 30M per year on your own to get him back. Or else you will miss all of Klutch clients in the future. Imagine if hornets got the no. 1 pick in the future and have a chance to get another Anthony Edward’s type talent. If he so happen to be a Klutch client, rich Paul might do everything to force you not drafting him (declining private workout, etc). In case the hornets reject all his proposal, he’ll sign with the pistons or jazz for one year at about 10-15M, something he can get it for sure. True that’ll be less than the hornets offer. But looking at other peers behaviour like Klay, I won’t be surprised to do see miles doing the same.
In any event, it’s your team who created this problem: overestimating your teams bargaining power agonist your own disgruntled star players in a small market. Eventually their contract expires and you lose control on the situation. Should have traded him some time last year to get something more solid in return with more bidding teams as he has no say on where you trade him to.
Trade Bridges, Cody Martin, Bertans for somethings
Zach Lavine
If the Hornets aren't looking to win now, which it looks like thats not the goal, I dont care if Miles comes back. I wouldn't mind seeing a sign and trade, but I would rather him leave for nothing than take back anything thats too much garbage. If they are going young they will need adults in the locker room, give Miles a team friendly offer and let him go if someone really wants him and bring back adults like Seth Curry to mentor and teach winning behaviors.
Seth Curry hasn't played a full year in the last 4 seasons
@@tylergillian8642 yeah I mean he would be a locker room guy. If they are rebuilding the minutes should go to the youth. The rockets were a good example of what happens when its all just young talent with out any guidance.
Make a 3 yr base 88 mill plus incentives for playing 75 games?making play in? But his contract is null after 1 year if he messes up.Medium guarantee first year that will give him a chance to make 30 mill.We gott get rid of Bertans at 16 million CRAZY...
He just got hired by charlotte
Dude try to make us feel dumb but newsflash obviously the GM for the last 10 years don’t know wtf their doing 😂 pay MB if not we still the same idiots we always been
We arent going to win/achieve anything rn and miles doesn’t fit our timeline or image. Harsh truth. I like miles but if we can get some future value that would be great
Gonna be a bummer to give up 2 Good dudes Mann and Powell they are a big part of our team and past 😢 I hated trading Shai 5 years ago. Hope this isn’t the same
I’m so tired of miles bridges man. For the past 3 seasons he’s all we’ve been talking about. Let him walk man. We’re not that much better with him, than without him.
We weren’t gonna make any moves anyway lol he’s not stopping some big signing
@@sakthithanigai5036 I never said that he was. Read and comprehend.
Pay him or give him to us
Trade Miles Bridges or let him walk
As a clipper fan,I hope we can get em!
Me too
Please resign miles give the man what he wants
Clippers fan - NO to Miles Bridges !! He's just an average player now (15.4 PER and -1 BPM)
Go for better guys
He averages 23 points a game your not gonna find anything better 😂
I’m locked on Hornets until my clips get Miles
There are far better options if a trade is eminent. Rui Hachimura from the Lakers would be a better value. John Collins from the Jazz would be a better option. If the Hornets want to do a sign and trade, send Nick Richards to NY for a signed Precious Achewa or to Jazz for Walker Kessler. The Reggie Jackson deal should not result in waiving a young player. Buy out and stretch has minimal cap impact. The three second round picks have already served their purpose in getting Josh Green. The Hornets should not take Miles back on a short-term deal which has no value for the frachise.
Hopefully, he does NOT come back.
Walker is right. Kemba's career is dead. It's been that way since Boston traded him.
