    You tell me it's your fav right?

    Hornets think Nico hasn't quite reached his prime and they plan on featuring him more than he ever has ever been before.

    I love Nic. The Hornets are going to be my backup fave team this year.

    I expect Nico to have a career contract year and end up in New Orleans or Toronto next season

    I do expect Nic to have a huge year and many Blazer fans pull their hair out. But when Nic is content to go through the motions the following season on his new max $100mil contract we will be very glad to have made the trade.

    What I learned from the video.
    1) Cho grew up and became an extrovert. He can put sentences together now. See around 5:30.

    2) Buchanan is still in the league on Cho's coattails.

    3) Batum needs lessons from a speech therapist. Not understanding half his words made the 11-minute video seem like 111 minutes. How many decades has he been in the league, 7? Slow learner.

    Nic always frustrated me because I feel like he could be one of the top 10 players in the league.

    I always said he needed to add muscle like Scottie Pippen and start getting to the rack... He's still gonna be soft if he doesn't do this...

    Nic is yet another great example of the fact that most NBA players don't age like wine. Many thought, that because he was capable of starting at 20 he'll grow into an all-star, but it never happened. Look at his his per 36 numbers, he really peaked his 2nd season. His last season was no better than his rookie year.

    And remember his playoff disappearing act last year.
