And alot of this team's made mistakes signing mediocre players for to much. He's not worth it

I am by no means screams he deserves max or near max money..AT ALL!

But what free agent this season is? Minus the ones we would not get so no Lebron or Mello(just never will happen)

Again, who and where is this NBA star unicorn you think the Hornets can obtain?

There isn't one. Period, the team will either stay an 7/8 seed and first round sweep status or they make moves to add players like Jefferson and Hayward.

Another option is to hope #9 can be a superstar level player.

Lastly there is the start over option, which would involve trading MKG, Zeller, Kemba, Hendo and Jefferson for as many picks/ young high upside players as possible.

As for Hayward, he's not a marginal player. Very few NBA players have the talent and ability to average 18-20ppg along with 5 rebounds and 5 assist a game.

Exactly. Also there is the he cant be good bc he is a white dude factor that cannot go unnoticed. He is not an undersized JJ reddick or tweener...Heyward is a huge shooting guard and natural SF.

If he's the next Larry Bird I'm down. If not I'll pass

I would like a 18-5-5 guy, but not if he has to shoot 41% FG and 31% 3FG to get those 18 points.

He's got a career FG% of 44% and a 3pt% of 37%.

I'd wager that those would go up with him not being the main option here. His first two seasons he shot over 46% from the field and over 40% from 3pt.

That's being silly, there's only like 10 superstar level players in the NBA right now and Charlotte doesn't have the pieces to go out and get one or the city to attract young superstar level/potential talent.

I agree with most that Heyward is not a superstar and not worth max money. I also agree that superstars will not come to Charlotte right now. So what we have to do is find a gem no one else wants. We need scorers bad, so how about Jimmer Fredette? He's a UFA and makes league min, and can play both the 1 and 2. He has proved he can score when he gets a chance to play.

      Yep he made the comment " I dont know what they were doing out there at that point" in the press conference. Let's be real they all got paid but they also know his system suppresses there offensive potential.

      Yup the casuals on Facebook ive gotten 85 laughing or angry emojis so far for pointing it out.  The amount of them throwing a fit because the canes were booed is insane

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      Why are you so fixated on yards? Even if yards were a good judge of QB play, his low yardage totals in some of those games were partly a function of drops (looking at you Xavier Leggette…).  I’m not advocating that Bryce was elite for the last half of last year, but the eye test certainly supported high level QB play for large stretches. He made a lot of high difficulty, put it on the money/drop in the bucket throws. He converted on 3rd and 4th down, kept drives moving, and put the team in position to win games. And it’s not on him that the defense blew it late after he led game tying drives, Leggette dropped a game winning TD, or Chuba fumbled the ball in OT. We could have finished the season close to .500 with wins against 3 playoff teams including KC and Philly during that stretch largely due to Bryce’s play.    Has he sustained this level of play long enough to deserve an higher ranking? No. But for judging based in that stretch alone, he would. But whether he can perform more consistently at that level or build on that, and thus earns a higher ranking, remains to be seen.
