Who the heck is LaMelo to want out!?
He has only played in 60% of their games this season. He has only played in 105 games in the past 3 seasons combined. His inability to stay on the court is the biggest reason for how bad they are. His unwillingness to play fundamental team ball is the 2nd biggest reason for their struggles. Sort your own backyard first. Then complain about what the team is or isn't doing.
The Hornets are significantly better when Ball plays then when he doesn't. So his health is a major concern, but his ability doesn't seem to hold them back at all, it is in fact the opposite. They need him to play simply because they are much better when he does. Though much better just takes them from awful to bad. They've done a pretty bad job putting talent around Ball. The hope was Miller, but he is more injury prone than Ball. Knueppel looks solid, but he is also another 6'7" guy (Ball and Bridges both 6'7" and Miller is 6'9" but plays smaller). No true PG on the roster. Poor to mediocre at best big men for years. The Hornets are just poorly managed. I'd want out also.
