Honestly the new FO has been knocking it out of the park so far. The trajectory completely changed once they took over.
Smart use of their cap space. Not used to the Hornets making good decisions.
At some point the plan has to be winning games.
I wouldn’t assume that Josh is a low usage player just because of his role with the Mavs…There simply weren’t enough shots to go around, because of the number of high volume shooters on the team, and so Josh’s role was primarily to play defense and take the occasional 3. However, he has also shown that he can remain efficient on higher volume when called upon, when given an expanded role in the offense. I’m really hoping that he isn’t boxed in on the Hornets and has the opportunity to increase his FGAs.
Also, Green didn’t fall out of the rotation. He played in every game he was available but dealt with injuries. He had an elbow sprain that kept him out for a month or so during one stretch and then an ankle sprain towards the later half of the season that kept him out for a few weeks as well.
Josh Green is really good. Him and Tre will compete for the starting 2 spot.
You forget we have miles well run 1 melo 2 miller.3 miles 4 Grant 5 mark 2nd unit 1 Micic 2Mann 3 Green 4 Salaun and 5 hopefully we get James Wiseman he did great last year in Detroit off the bench or stay with richards and stash a couple more moves get rid of nic Smith and Martin bertans trade 2nd rnd picks and get a mid level player....
But green will play 20 a game at a hood +/- I like him too. BUT THE 2ND UNIT IS FAST FIRST IS BIGS ALLOWS CHANFE OF PACE
To win a championship in any sport, there’s a common denominator you need:
Depth.
Green brings depth, so it’s a good move.
Update Both our draft picks are injured rn
Savvy, smart business by the Hornets…he gets us to 30 wins next season (minimum).
Everyone knows they won’t compete for the chip, but shouldn’t they be trying to get into the playoffs so they can get some experience?
For the sicko satchel. Now that Kemba has retired, do you think he has a place on Charles Lee’s staff? I’ve always wanted him back in Charlotte and this may the only “nostalgia” move that I’m down for.
Yall just got the scrapper of the year. JGreen will drive and sky, dish, and D you up. And that 3 ball finally got wet.
We'll miss him in Dallas. 🎉❤
don’t expect green to be the primary point of attack defender. but he can really thrive having a larger role in a free flowing offense. he is a good cutter and passer and a decent 3pt shooter
Gonna be worth watching the Australian Boomers at the Olympics to see how Josh Green will play in a similar role to what you can probably expect in Charlotte, playing off Giddey like he will Lamelo
If Hornets can get Lauri Markkanen for Miles Bridges and picks do it.
Josh Green was a good one, and I think he fits into Charlotte very well. Hope it works out for everyone! Peace from a mavs fan
walker sounded so happy in the intro. im so pumped!
miles bridges disturbing off the court issues makes him difficult to trade not much teams want that sort of backlash or controversey .you see the backlash the clippers are getting for signing kevin porter jr
He paid his dues YOU can't replace Miles at any price we can get him for.But there has to be a clause if he messes up contract is null after that year and give him incentives A/S 1 MIL .. PLAY IN OR PLAYOFF 1 MILL. PLAYS 75 GAMES 1 MILL...GIVE HIM 3 YRS TEAM OPTION 90 MILLTHE GAMES AND A PLAY I. WILL ADD 2 NORE MILL BUT IF HE MESSES UP AFTER THAT SEASON HIS CONTRACT IS OVER.NO BUYOUT.JUST BYE.
Now, this josh green acquisition is nice while being shrewd at the same time. Only 2 seconds? Great move!!!
Josh Green is an excellent 3 point shooter, connector and is a great dude in the locker room. He will throw any pass on the court and he loves to throw skip passes while jumping (jump passes his favourite thing).
He is weak navigating screens so his POA defense is not good, he will die on every screen. He is sometimes reluctant to shoot and will always look to pass normally by jumping first.
Good role player on a very good contract that will be a steal in 1 year. He is a quiet guy very humble and will work hard for you just don't expect him to run around screens and defend PG's.
This is regurgitated opinion blindly accepted as fact, you even reused word for word what you have read from other comments that he would "die on the screen". To say his poa defense is not good is such an overstatement. I watched their games he was one of Dallas' best defenders. Get your facts straight and formulate your own opinion
@@crisdeugzman3711 I am a Mavericks fan i am telling you his strengths and weaknesses. Just because you don't like the truth don't mean it's not true. Josh Green can't screen navigate every Mavs fan will tell you that. hen they say it LISTEN!!!
Toppo! Hornets are active!
Both of our rookies Injured already?? Feeling eerily similar to the Process sixers. Lottery here we come!
Josh green is pretty decent rotation player. Could he become a 5th starter maybe. I see him being the 1st or 2nd wing off the bench. Why not, he plays hard and can shoot
HOR fan said “collecting high motor players” lol
walker - "...shot chart....." **continues talking**
doug - **whispers** "shart" **smiles**
@5:20
1 they tried to trade bridges last year and he shot it down. 2 green isn’t what said anything about bridges it was the drafting of Salaune one of my favorite prospects that told me they’re gonna definitely get rid of
bridges one way or another Salaune is gonna be looked at as the answer for the Bridges replacement. Obviously whether it works or not is yet to be determined I myself believe he will be a star
Doug's new haircut makes him look like Walker's step-dad
josh will be ya starting SG promise you coming from dallas fan he will be missed but not that much we got KLAY BABY!!!
Klay not the same
Klay can't move like he used to. I hope he works out for y'all though.
Klay fits the role Dallas needs far better than any option they've ever had. We're ecstatic. Better than JGreen, THJ, and DJJ. He WILL hit the wide open 3s Luka produces.
@@christexaport 100% bro i cant wait for the season to start DALLAS going back to the finals and the rookie we picked up watch out for him dude
@@maddhatt7082 only time will tell brother
Dougieeee where you get that fye ass red blue and navy astros cap
Melo 1 Miller 2 Miles 3 Grant 4 Mark 5.second Micic 1 Mann2 Green 3 Salaun 4 pray we get Wiseman he developed well or stick with Richards
Sorry Pacers picked up Wiseman.
@maddhatt7082 I thought they got SOMEONE'S ELSEmy TRACKER HAS WISEMAN F/A WANTS A 2 FOR 20 OR 4 FOR 38 WITH GUARANTEE HES REPRESENTATIVE IS KLUTCH SPORTS.
Loving this move! I’m sure more pieces will be moved around soon.
Question for SICKO
Any nicknames for Tidjane??
Francy Pants?
@@VaporFox25dats crazy i deadass had on my mind. Hight motor Fancy pants
Charlotte Hornets will win 25 to 32 wins. I expect a High Lottery pick.
... How do we feel about a sign and trade with NO for bridges and we get Ingram...? Miles maybe fits the physical style they want to play more, and BI ofc having issues resigning and doesn't seem he wants to. lets brandon go to 2, green elite potential piece off of the bench perhaps, and outside of not knowing the cap? Im not opposed at all. BI doesnt need to be as much of a point forward and can do what he thrives in offensively eithout having to do nearly as much shot creation. Just curious whay you guys think. Maybe BI is a bit win now but needing a 3 yr deal with sign and trade puts him in the 3rd year of lee where, before you have to pay Miller, ingram is in last year and everyone is peaking with Lee in charge? Sorry for typing a book. 💀💀💀💀
I wouldn’t be against it, but I doubt that NO is interested
@@ignorantenlightenment so many teams are cap strapped right now is why I even thought of it yesterday - like, if we're getting the seconds on a just-played-in-the-finals young wing just for HAVING cap - there's not many others if BI and NO don't get a deal done who even have the ability to facilitate it. We'll see tho for sure. Feel like chemistry miles has is probably worth a lot more $ amount wise than it's worth to do the deal... But if miles can't agree, I guess they can't agree. It'll be interesting. Second apron got teams terrified
@@owenwatterson7283 I think the hornets are looking at it like hey we already took the negative PR from bringing you back, we REALLY want to make it worth our effort and bring Miles back. I’d be interested to see if NO would do a straight up PFP trade between the two I don’t know how the numbers would work
Keeps miles statistically compare if we get him for 30 a year with bonuses and if he gets in trouble his contract is nulled
I'm just here to add that I happily added this comment before the NBA central report came out 🙌🙌🙌
The thumbnail 😂😂😂😂 bunch of sickos
Would have rather them got moody. Green is nice tho he should be coached up to start man.
reggie jackson josh green tre mann seth curry miles bridges...the hirnets better keep all these dudes if they want to win games
What gonna happen to taylor this season
They need to go after Zack Lavine
Hell no!! I don't want him
🍻🍻🍻🍻
Lo usage player bro not that goood guys …and I hate to break it to yall I want to be excited too but I actually watched dude and he’s got good or decent numbers because he gets like 4 shots a game …and he be missing I’m telling yall he dookie , the kid got heart and defense but he’s the type of player you give the ball and it goes off his knee outta bounds.
Na, I followed their games for years even before his rookie season. His 26.4 mins a game this past season is not really low usage, and not 4 but almost 7 FG attempts per game (5th in the roster) on a 47.9% clip. Everyone on that team had to defer to luka and kyrie so there's not a lot of shots available. He supplements his meager 3 point rations (3.3 attempts/game, which he converts at a high rate) by literally scavenging for his own shot opportunites, mainly with steals, offensive rebounds and sprinting for fastbreaks, all of which he does very well. There was a point before the Mavs' new acquisitions when he led the league in 3point percentage and if I remember correctly he was routinely scoring 12 or so points a game. You probably watched a game or two but give this man more touches and he will do well. Before Kyrie came that's what he did, during the 2022-23 season he was on a good trajectory, was a confident starter converting 53.7% of his field goals and 40.2% on threes
Miles Bridges might be heading to LA Clippers
1st comment let’s go
So who’s our 2? Mann?
Let's go❤
