2. He has a chance to work out elsewhere. Better off then being buried here.

3. Sigh. If you would’ve told me this 3 years ago, I would’ve never believed you. Just flip on the tape from the Creighton OT game where he scored 40. Hate it didn’t work out for him, but his maturity (or lack there of) was his biggest detriment.

4. Bouk shall cook no longer

5. later bozo

   funny looking back at ppl shitting on Borrego when they got into it with each other

6. Today just keeps getting better!

7. Just doesn’t have a spot with this team anymore. Happy to see NSJ growing instead.

   Hope he finds some success elsewhere, but can’t say I’m rooting for him 😅

8. I knew we were screwed the second Davion Mitchell absolutely clamped his ass in the first summer league.

9. We really know how to draft in the first round don’t we

10. 2021 draft: Bouknight, Kai Jones, JT Thor.

    Woof

11. Best of luck to him going forward

12. remember when he tried to fight borrego

13. The Purge: Trade Deadline

14. 2021 draft set this franchise back 5 years

15. Praise the Lord the bad man is finally gone!

16. Give him a shot Detroit

17. BYE HAHAHA

18. That 2021 draft was supposed to be our turning point. I was sooooooo high Bouk + Kai, really disappointing to see how horribly they both fared

19. Good riddance

20. Good riddance.. all on him. It’s clear he has talent but not the ‘want to’

    This character he plays when he’s in the game where he behaves like he’s high and too cool to be here was so infuriating

21. This was always a terrible pick. An undersized guard who wasn’t elite at anything. His absolute ceiling was Lou Will and he was not gonna be Lou Will.

22. YES

23. Mitch is so hot in the kitchen

24. So you think he is getting released because he laughed at Clifford on the bench the other night?

25. When they were drafted, if you would have told me that both Bouknight and Kai Jones would be complete non-factors, and would be released before their contracts were up, I wouldn’t have believed you. Both complete failures here. I hope he can find a place to go and continue to grow as a person, but glad it’s not with the Hornets.

26. Yesss!

27. I made a comment half way through Bouknight’s rookie season that he was going to be a bust and got crushed for it. Sucks to see it didn’t work out but the writing was on the wall and very early

28. We’re free

29. Best news of 2024

30. Such a bummer for me. The only pro I’ve ever seen with my last name, and my dad’s name is James and we are Hornets fans from NC.
