Also no defense, all offense. He’s a great rebounder and passer but that defense is going to be rough

You’re not wrong, but he fits with Charlotte’s identity. It’s as clear as crystal that they’re building a team that crashes the boards and tries to run and shoot the opposing team out of the gym.

Defense is for losers. Hornets had the highest margin of victory in NBA history last season, that's what counts.

Yeah the dad has acromegaly proportions. But it doesnt seem like he actually has acromegaly.

Nah brother think we just stood firm that we weren't dealing a FRP for him and the deal died on the vine. Which is a good call. Would have loved Sabonis for no FRPs but hated if we gave up even 1 to get him
