Show Notes
Big changes could be coming to Hornets broadcasts as Dell Curry is reportedly joining Amazon’s NBA coverage team. What does that mean for his future with the Hornets—and could it eventually lure Steph Curry into the national spotlight post-retirement? We break down how this might impact the most underrated broadcast duo in the league: Eric Collins and Dell Curry.
Meanwhile, Doug and Walker tackle the Hornets’ unsettled center position. Is Ryan Kalkbrenner really ready for a bigger role? What about Moussa Diabate and Mason Plumlee? The hosts revisit the fallout from the Mark Williams trade and debate whether the Hornets sacrificed too much offensive upside in exchange for long-term flexibility.
We also take a look at the Hornets’ NBA Cup group, which features heavy hitters like the Bucks, Knicks, and Heat. Did the Hornets get the toughest draw of any team—and does Cup performance actually matter this season?
Plus, a new segment debuts: Letters from the Front Line, where listeners share moments when Hornets fandom leaked into real life. If you've ever yelled “Wings of a Condor” on a public sidewalk, this one’s for you.
