This is an IHeart podcast.

So on TikTok, a fan of the heat check sent me a message with the following question.

Why aren't we talking about the Charlotte Hornets as a dysfunctional team?

That's a good question.

You know what?

I guess because they're not relevant in any way from a contending standpoint.

But still, in terms of dysfunction, function, what's your function?

It's right up there.

How come, where's Miles Bridges?

Does anyone know what his timeline is?

Is there a timeline?

Is there a timeline with the Hornets and Miles Bridges?

Am I out of the loop? Because I feel like I don't know what's going on there. I have no idea. Is he he was supposed to get the max contract? I don't think they've rescinded his offer. Who knows? But listen, when you've got your centerpiece outside of Lamello ball, your other centerpiece star going down for domestic violence against all kinds of folks,

that's strike one. That's absolutely chaos. That was one of the things that was talked about

most at Summer League is like, what's going to happen with Miles Bridges? Like, what's Charlotte

going to do? And up until a few days ago, there was pretty much no news about him, right?

Now we learn that his domestic violence case has been pushed back from September 29th to October 7th.

That is the third time, folks, that has been postponed.

Presumably, nothing's going to happen concerning his future until all of this is finalized,

but I tell you what, it's a big time storm cloud over a franchise.

We know that.

Sports Illustrated reported the Bridges status to possibly rejoin the Charlotte Hornets before the start of the season.
