Bridges isn't a top 150 player in the league, based on pure math that makes him a JAG. And as I initially said, I like GH, don't mind his base salary. I thought it was stupid to add 9 mill to the cap in for 3 years just to acquire him. He is looking like one of the best FA's.. But that only illustrates that Charlotte isn't a destination as his only real competition GH need to pass is Al Jefferson for all time best FA. Teams like the Hornets need to get lucky in the lottery and can't whiff on 1st round picks if they want to be upper echelon teams. Ball is the 1st step.

Terrific dialogue. what exactly do you disagree with?

B 2018 Draft- his first Bridges is just another guy, and trading SGA for him (regardless of the prearranged nature of the trade, its a bad look. You never want to give up the best player in a deal).. Graham saved his rear here. 2019 Draft- His best so far. PJ is solid if unspectacular. Martin and McDaniels have been useful pieces 2020 Draft- Ball was a layup- you shouldn't get extra credit for nailing a #3 pick (who was widely viewed as the best player in the draft) . Jury is out on the 2nd rounders Kemba Walker- As mentioned not trading him at the deadline was a huge mistake. Rozier is fine (but could have also been signed as a FA if you were hell bent on having that player). You ended up getting 50 cents on the dollar from a commodity standpoint by holding on and letting him walk. That might have been MJ's call, but it was a bad one regardless. Free Agency- I like Gordon Hayward as a signing. I don't hate Gordon Hayward at 30 million per.. I do Hate Gordon Hayward at 30 mill plus the 27 million additional over 3 years stretching Batum to that was required to sign GH. This team wasn't a SF away from competing for the East. And hurting the cap for 2 additional seasons is WTF move considering there are still several gaping holes on the roster. They are a better team today, but I think at the expense of future cap flexibility. The fact this team doesn't have a big that can play dead in a cowboy movie is a problem. Charlotte will unfortunately never be a big FA destination, you need to hit on all your 1sts and be savvy with your cap. I can't say either have been done historically, and Mitch hasn't been spectacular in either regard.

I will admit Hill is a possession receiver....... if he's on the receiving end of a doobie..

The operative word in Wide Receiver, is receiver.. Hill has hands so bad the Venus De Milo feels bad for him

I don't if we know enough to say for sure Gettleman's M.O. is to build through being frugal in FA... Its hard to eat at Ruth's Chris when you have 3 dollars in your pocket. This is the first year he's had some real money to play with, I think this is off season are uncharted waters.

If cleared.. He got a multi million dollar screw job by the Baton Rouge PD.
