Things Aren’t Looking Good for LaMelo Ball

Exactly smh

Fr miles bridges a year ago was top 5 most entertaining players but now he ruined it

Maybe a team with Miles, LaMelo, LiAngelo and Wemby could have been better, even with Jalen and Hagans id say, they almost fckd waiving him...

That depends. Miles Bridges truly screwed over this team. BUT - let's say Charlotte accepts him back and the Hornets got Wemby? You are looking at all-star Ball, a player many considered an all-star snub in Bridges, and Wemby. That's 3 all-star level talents. That's a team that is considered a contender. (Obviously not year one of Wemby, but likely by year 3.)

@@tcr7 I'd still be skeptical. They need to figure out their coaching situation and there's still nothing stopping MJ from giving more bad contracts to guys like he's been doing

People seem to forget they were literally a decent center away from being a 50 win team. Miles Bridges ruined everything. MJ shouldn’t get a pass and his poor decisions need to be addressed, but they were fine and had a very promising future just a year ago.

They were good last year , what happened??

I totally agree, I think the big thing about this accidental tank is that even get wemby or scoot only sets them up basically at year 2 of a rebuild, they should have pieces to make it a much wider window to compete but right now the window is probably already closed and the hornets will remain irrelevant into the 2030's

He do but his thumbnails be off somebody could be having they best season he points out the obvious well this guy isn’t this that I don’t wanna hear that sht just appreciate them for playing for trash teams

They lost an AllStar level player and 1-2 duo of LaMelo for nothing cause he's an absolute idot, what does that have to do with MJ? In fact, it's great that they tank this season, cause they can get either Victor or Scoot who are Luka level of talents and can carry a team to playoffs by themselves. Victor-LaMelo can be the best duo in the NBA. That's GOOD tanking by MJ.

@@youngbae5187 MJ have been there 12 years Is not just now

@@WalterModel45 And you're gonna blame him this season out of all seasons for Miles Bridges being a piece of sht? Literally for what? His 2nd best player and AllStar did something stupd and left the team for free. They don't even get any players bck like a trade. They got NOTHING for an AllStar dunker. You stupd. If Lakers lose LeBron for nothing are they supposed to be good? If Celtics lose Jaylen Brown for free they supposed to be good? Ya'll dmb af. Not to mention they getting Victor or Scoot next season and would become good, yet this video come out now instead of waiting for LaMelo's crazy assists to Victor that collect wins.

True he has had twelve years to make a good draft pick or a good trade but he hasn't done many good moves for the hornets franchise

@@youngbae5187 charlotte doesnt have their 2023 picks. spurs got it. pick goes to 2024 if they are top 16, which is gonna happen

And you are right. He is really good

Miles is a goofy bro smh

They ab to sign him again

@@Kj4real he was lamelos dynamic duo though

@@user-of1dp6mo6hhe’s a goofy for getting in trouble he means

That was the part of the video that cracked me up because he said "if you look at history" 😂

Shows he don't do research and you can't take him serious. They relocated from Charlotte because of low attendance. They made the playoffs 3 years in a row and made it to the second round 2 years in a row before relocating to new orleans.

They drafted CP3 in 2005, and had moved from Charlotte to New Orleans in 2002, so I figured that's just what he meant, but they were the 6th seed in 2000-01, 4th seed in 2001-02, so saying that they relocated because they were bad is just outright dumb.

Yeah I ain't gonna lie, everything after he said that went over my head lol....SMH

he only makes videos to hate people that does not love and promote lamelo

Being a great player doesn't automatically translate to being great at the management aspects. It's the same with futbol. Diego Maradona is considered one of the GOATs of the sport and he was an absolute trainwreck as a coach

Please stop, amhoops don't know shet about the raptors. You will only get nonsense trade.

Must be a Raptors fan to care much about that

He must be a superstar to get his own video lol

Facts

Agreed

When domestic violence comes up i take it with a grain of salt unless i see actual proof. Too many men are lied on out of spite and it's easy to ruin a man's career over a lie. The NBA and NFL loves this because then they can bargain for pennies for these players.

@@mysticlegion8088 Yeah I agree

“Into nonsense”?? He beat his girl in front of kids. Call it what it is

@@PapiSZN24 lamelo was dehydrated before his last injury

Melo was NEVER a good player to begin with so this isn't shocking to me! Melo could not play defense Melo threw up bad shots on a daily basis he SUCKS he was all hype! Melo can NEVER win a championship without ZO!!! MELO IS NOTHING BUT A OVERHYPED OVERRATED BUM THAT HAPPEN TO BE TALL....

@@Coco-xw3wp yes

@@Coco-xw3wp i agree people think because he goes out of his way to make a flashy play here and there that he's good he plays no defense and doesn't show any iq as far as good shot selection and when to to shoot and when to pass idk why people don't see it yet

@@claudewillis234 lamelo was dehydrated before his last injury

@@youngboy2pacdrake what does that have to do with anything I said

I agree 100% ... it's not like this is an ass team. Management has done what it could but, don't matter who the coach is... if the players don't get up and want to win games.

@@Passarinho86 lamelo was dehydrated before his last injury

Jordan wasn't the one who wanted Donovan Mitchell, it was Steve Clifford who was the only one pushing for him and he got overruled in the war room. The only people who could overrule him was either the gm at the time, Rich Cho, or the owner being Jordan. Most likely both of them.

@@pabs11 It was Steve and Jordan but Rich Cho picked Monk. Jordan let's the GM to make a choice, he just gives his opinions. Jordan is a good owner, he has done a lot of Charlotte and the community, but people love to hate him.

@@mauszx no he’s not

The Hornets did relocate to New Orleans from Charlotte. The Hornets of today were an expansion team called the Charlotte Bobcats who Jordan bought from the founder of BET I believe. When the original Hornets changed their name to the Pelicans Jordan applied to have the Bobcats change their name to the Hornets. So he was right but wrong at the same time lol

Also worth mentioning is the 2005 hurricane Katrina where the New Orleans Hornets didn’t play in New Orleans for a while.

The hornets relocated to new Orleans.....

They can get some defense that way

Thats kid won't make it long too skinny and looks mad fragile

@@davon6704 which they desperately need

@@nosferatu7325 I understand your point. It definitely makes sense to me.

@@bracebrooks967 The fact that this didn't just spiral into an argument amazes me. Good job lads.

@@nosferatu7325 that was an insightful comment. Kobe probably didnt want to be a hornet, and maybe money wasnt his motivation.. but i guess if the hornets somewhat built a team around kobe, it could probably workout (as a compromising measure). kobe was an alltime great, and he would probably make sure his rookie year would be notable with whatever team he was on

There was about a 6 day stretch this off-season where we had a ton of hope. Kenny Atkinson was coming here with his high octane, 3 point barrage offense, with a roster full of guys who can shoot from deep. Then in less than a week he backed out, the MIles Bridges situation happened, we rehired a terrible coach, and traded away the best Center in the draft (a position we desperately need) for an end of the first rounder next year and some 2nds. Thank goodness I'm a UNC fan, or else i don't know if I could even watch basketball....

@@thee-sportspantheon330 I appreciate those words. I don't enjoy arguments in-person or online. I know there are times in life that me and someone else will end up disagreeing on something, but I do my best to keep my emotions under control. I don't believe in yelling and cursing to prove a point.

Amen. He's not off to a fucking gulag. He's living the wildest dream even on the shittiest team.

we know he's good... but thats not entire point of this video. The big picture is that Lamelo is good but he's on shitty team ran by a shitty owner in MJ who has no idea on how to draft or build around a star. Someone needs to show this video to MJ and tell him to step the F down and let someone else make the decisions on who to draft, trade, talent acquisitions, etc.

I mean Lonzo had the same position and he's a bust.

Yeah, but as a player and supposedly leader, he's mid.

But his mother is gone

🤣

Warriors were already a established franchise even before Steph got drafted. They already had couple of rings before the Steph era begins

The Steph/Kerr/Dray/Klay era is defined by team first, cooperation, humility, work ethic, sacrifice; that's why Bob Myers can bring in guys that fit or adopt that culture like Iggy, Livingston, Bogut, Wiggins and they can literally rewrite the scripts on their careers. Jordan as player leader was more abrasive, toxic, authoritarian, a bully alpha; great traits for a squad leader maybe, but not necessarily CEO traits for culture setting an organization. I doubt if his ex teammates even like him off the court. As Washington exec, he was lazy, golfed whenever, and didn't' even move to the city where the job was, a total failure, so there was already proof his prodigious basketball talent and work ethic as a player didn't translate into being an exec. Plus he was never known for having a "Mr. Basketball" knowledge of the game like a Bird or Draymond Green. In fact, I love Draymond's basketball IQ and if he doesn't make the Hall of Fame as a player, he'll make it as a coach, analyst, or exec for sure.

*since mj took over*

@@meeksthessj4 @ 1:01, Hoops says "Chris Paul was a New Orleans Hornet, who were so bad they had to move cities" I'm saying a) the team wasn't bad when they moved, and b) CP3 wasn't even a hornet when the team moved.

Il always remember Brad Beal Fuk you taking about

Legacy don’t keep the lights on tho

Bru Hurricane 🌀 Katrina was in New Orleans not Charlotte. 🤭

The New Orleans Pelicans/Hornets & the Charlotte Hornets are two different franchises “kinda” believe or not. It’s weird

Dwight was a beast for us

wait, not since the Hornet days?

Same here...fan since Bobbby Phils (RIP), Anthony Mason (RIP), Baron Davis....we had some decent squads back then, usually finishing 5-6th in the Conference....but you could bank on a playoff spot in those days. Now its just sad. But MJ is avoiding the luxury tax...so its money over winning now.

@@DameMalone lamelo was dehydrated before his last injury

Tbh they should have kept him in new Orleans but I mean zion is easily a better play do I kinda understand wanting to play through him or B.I

The Lakers and Luke Walton didn't want Lonzo to be a catch and shoot player, they deemed him their PG and the face of their future. They wanted to take the ball out of LeBron's hands, save his legs from excessive wear and tear. But LeEGO would have none of that, he got Walton fired and all the young talent traded. The Lakers bent over and grabbed their ankles for LeEGO, and look where they are now.

@@jameschan9634 I said New Orleans made him a catch and shoot player. He wouldn't be that player as a Laker because he was shooting very poorly during his stint in LA. And Luke Walton deserved to be fired because he is a bad coach. Just look at how better the Kings are playing since they fired Luke Walton.

@@thevoicelesswriter Inability to understand the Facts, to accept History, to actually understand the Game of Basketball, refusal to listen to what's been intelligently and factually presented to you. Can't think with the aroma of LeBron's balls filling your brain? ALL the proof is the deep deep gutter the Lakers have been dragged down into. Why you blame Lonzo? Why you blame Walton? It was LeEGO who REVERSED the direction of the rebuild that you admittedly was the plan. . Walton was following the game plan, and the game plan would have worked if ALL the players listened to their coach. But, LeEGO listens to LeEGO, no one else. All player personnel has been approved by him, but now he's crying that HIS skills are being wasted. LeBron most certainly could not have been one of the 3 Musketeers.

@@jameschan9634 lamelo was dehydrated before his last injury

Victor is a genrational talent like Luka. He can change the entire org all by himself. And with LaMelo too? Come on.

@@youngbae5187 yeah ik they would but do you really think Charlotte is stopping teams like Boston Milwaukee or Miami or even nets in 7 game series and you can’t forget about Atlanta

@@dbzfan4evermj233 with Victor? Heck yeah. Lol. Luka can stop the 64 win Suns all by himself. Luka has 0 all-stars teammates. Victor has LaMelo. Them 2 would get Top 6 in East easily in their first season.

@@youngbae5187 i mean we all know cp3 is injury prone and chokes in the playoffs 💀💀 but idk man I can’t see Victor and Lamelo beating a team like boston or bucks or warriors and plus I think if lamelo hits the weight room it will help him a lot especially for deep playoff runs but seriously what contender chould Charlotte beat with those two and plus they would still need a competent coach and a good supporting cast if one of them gets tried or hurt

@@dbzfan4evermj233what does Luka being generational like Victor have to do with CP3? LOL. You crazy. Hornets need a Center to rplace trsh as Plumlee and they are the best place for Victor out of all tanking teams. Rockets have iso chuckers that wouldn't give the ball to Victor, Detroit already have 2 Centers, Magic already have alot of talents, Spurs got a bunch of nobody. Hornets have LaMelo giving prime time assists for Victor to shine and Center is their worst spot. It FITS like a glov.

You’re tripping bro. Beal was the best shooting guard in the country coming into the NBA. Good thing you’re not a gm

Nah it is his fault wym?

it is his fault tho 😭

@@nosferatu7325 yeah but its not only Bridges fault...this whole organization has been shit for years and years under Jordan as Owner.

100% this. Between that does his other businesses he could be the first player to turn it down to go play somewhere that wins

True he comes from money already

Fax puma set him right to get into a better situation down the line

That's true. But 100 million is 100 million

I doubt if they get it tho. They want to win now even tho hayward and rozier playikg like trash this year.

@@bosyn8938 I'm glad he's still young so he's got some time before be hits his prime

Stop. Kwame wasn't very good, but he could've been. He was a surprise #1 pick back then. Mike's #1 draft pick. He had some potential, but it was very shaky. Only 1 year on record as a legit baller. Yes, he had potential, just looking at his body - Wizards screwed it up as they usually did with young talent back then. And Mike definitely screwed it up the way he almost screwed up RIp.

Are you high? Kwame was slow, bad on defense, and has bad hands and just drops the ball all the time. Also not a great rebounder and scorer.

You actually might be on to something 🤔

I agree 100%

Garbage take

Francisco Goya’s painting “Saturn Devouring His Son” is a sort of metaphor I can suggest to back up my thought. Though the difference between Saturn and MJ is that Saturn feared his son to take his throne, yet MJ is simply not happy to see someone else’s success thus messes up or irresponsibly does mal decisions on his own team(son).

I reckon it's more likely he's just not great at picking talent and building a roster. On the court he's the best. Off the court he's a fan.

It gives small markets a chance to compete or something to cheer for. It used to keep players from forming super teams back when players had a sense of loyalty, grit, and determination to prove they were the best.

@@richeyrich2514 yeah that clearly doesnt work anymore it just destroys players carrers
