The Harbaugh Era

@NickCarboniWCNC What an indictment of a player entering his 7th NBA season.

#Hornets veteran Pat Connaughton on LaMelo Ball: "His desire to win is real. From the outside looking in I'm not sure anyone knows that. But I'm here to say it, he wants to win at the highest levels...we've got to continue teaching him how."

@Hershayy_ 51 games a season for 6 years, no Playoff appearances. 40% FGs two straight seasons. 25% of 2026-27 salary cap.

Non-Hornets fans are doing everything in their power to create this narrative where we have to get rid of Lamelo, as if the Hornets didn’t have an extremely successful season where they over performed every single expectation lol. They know the Hornets are coming up lol

@Yoogez1of1 Again? Six years with no Playoff appearances. What are we talking about?

Yo I’m actually not gonna be able to take this shit for another year about LaMelo bro. Guy loses one play-in game where his teammates all do next to nothing and he’s a losing player again. I’m gonna go insane.

@PicassoPilot @Grantstyle3 @OhhMar24 And people hate the shit out of him.

@HarbaughNotes @Grantstyle3 @OhhMar24 highschool, we are talking about now

Hornets went from the most loved team to the laughing stock in two days. Magic went from the laughing stock to the bullies in two days. That’s how quick the narrative can change

@MrHoggardSZN He’s 18.

@HarbaughNotes He’s a sophomore

Turns out changing head coaches can’t turn a trash QB into a heisman

@Meloleague In the last three years he’s been given the #6, #2 and #4 picks in the Draft while being surrounded by three additional lottery picks in the rotation. Now he’s about to get another lottery pick. What else does he need?

I’d like to add that, idk why LaMelo is some exception to the All-Star / All-NBA teammate? Steph, LeBron, MJ, Jokic, Shai etc even non-championship players like Cade & Haliburton have made it far with elite help… LaMelo has never had that… #1 opt still needs a reliable #2.

@Spe81558890Lyle Was he getting back on D or not?

Stan Van Gundy NEVER stops trashing LaMelo Ball for not getting back on D. Such obvious personal hatred as if Melo is the only one. GTFOH.

@MIK3MCDANIEL Like, what would happen? Would they miss the Playoffs six years in a row without him? Mike, you sound silly.

lamelo discourse hilarious bra he’s deadass one of the best offensive engines in the NBA, trade him and see how a Kon and Miller core duo produces LMFAOO shit would be hilarious

@Grantstyle3 @PicassoPilot @OhhMar24 espn.com/mens-college-b… This dude has been largely disliked since he was an underclassmen in high school. Pretending you don’t know that is telling.

@PicassoPilot @HarbaughNotes @OhhMar24 Literally lmao

@KuKhahil My timeline says he’s the savior of the team.

LaMelo is a -7 in a 31 point game

@LegionHoops That’s just what Steph Curry needs is a “Shaq as a Celtic” moment.

Wouldn’t it be fun to have Stephen Curry on the Hornets.

@YaHateTwoSeeIt Correct.

If the Hornets GM is smart, he’ll try to sell high on Lamelo after his first healthy/net positive season in his career

@scott_fowler He’s asking to be traded.

Melo doesn’t sound too enthralled with all those plays that were getting called.

@JWeinbachNBA So did the ‘01 Clippers.

Charlotte’s current young core: LaMelo Ball (24) Kon Knueppel (20) Brandon Miller (23) Moussa Diabate (24) Ryan Kalkbrenner (24) Sion James (23) Liam McNeeley (20) Tidjane Salaun (20) Despite missing the playoffs this year, the Hornets have a bright future ahead.

@KariGotNext How’s the suffering this morning?

i wanna cry so bad, i love this team to death and there is no other team i would suffer with not named the Charlotte Hornets.😔💜💙

@HornetsReddit Year SEVEN, loading.

🎙️ LaMelo Ball: "Obviously, hurt a lot, but I feel like it's all just learning lessons. You live, you learn, you evolve, and you move on, you know?"

@hndrxxmonster You sound jealous.

Orlando & detroits “tough defense” is just them fouling niggas for 24 seconds

@PrimeKnueppel Even two of the three would be a net positive. Bridges HAS to go. That’s not even negotiable.

Getting rid of Bridges, Williams, and Ball this offseason. Get rid of one scrub, and the remaining culture cancers.
