- LaMelo said he knew the #Hornets were winning. "Coming in today I felt like we were going to win. I seen the Panthers, they were playing the Cardinals. And I seen they were like 8-1 or something. I'm like, 'Dang this kind of lines up.' I feel like we might win too. And we won.
- #Hornets are tied for the league lead in points per game and *should* be 3-0 after opening week. What a time to be alive.
- Some personal news: I'm incredibly grateful, humbled and honored to be joining The Charlotte Observer to cover the #Hornets and NBA. It's a prestigious role and I'm absolutely pumped to be the newest addition to @theobserver's great staff. My first day is, well, today. Let's go.
- #Hornets are not extending a qualifying offer to Malik Monk, making him an unrestricted free agent, per league sources. Monk's time with Charlotte is done.
- Sources: #Hornets compensation for Jalen Duren: 2023 Denver 1st round pick 2023 Knicks 2nd round pick 2023 Utah 2nd round pick 2023 Dallas/Miami 2nd round pick (most favorable) 2024 Knicks 2nd round pick
- Funny how the "#Hornets are a joke for sending damaged goods to the Lakers" and "Rob Pelinka said so and so, therefore it's true" narrative is crumbling. The banana in the tailpipe trick is unraveling.
- Shootaround = complete. Mark Williams getting some free throws up while Brandon Miller's left-handed passes to LaMelo continue to be fine tuned.
00:00 - Asked Miles Bridges about the #Hornets getting swept in season series by the Wizards. “They are supposed to be the worst team in the league and they beat us four times,” he said. “So, what does that make us?”
- What is Terry Rozier dressed up as for Halloween? "Shit, me. Scary Terry."
- Marvin Williams is back. He has joined the #Hornets basketball operations department to help with player programs and player development off the court.
- LaMelo had the most votes, per the TNT broadcast.LaMelo didn't get the starting nod for the Eastern Conference. Jalen Brunson and Donovan Mitchell are All-Star starters.
