Hornets willing to part with #9 for Afflalo

The Chicago Bulls have been linked most prominently to a deal with Orlando involving shooting guard Arron Afflalo, although sources say that’s not likely happening on draft night, but it’s still very much in play. The dark horse to obtain Afflalo still remains the Charlotte Hornets, who have long coveted him and are willing to give up the ninth pick and a roster player to do it.

they will ask for a fortune, but when the time comes- i think they will bite for Hendo and #9

 

i dont know if we are offering Hendo though, they had him go to the uniform unveiling and he's a "captain" on the team.

I hope we arent stupid on Hendo's stock/upside

That's Terrible. He's just a tad better than Henderson and we are gonna trade the 9th overall pick to do it? I understand trading the pick if u was trying to get Klay Thompson or somebody that's a star and young.

BUT AFFALO. 30 year old sg who's never broke out and just average his whole career. Who also can opt out next year so he would w a rental. Jesus don't be stupid cho

Too much to give up in a loaded draft for what could be a one year rental on a guy.

 

#9, #24 & Henderson for Afflalo & #12 I would do.

 

Or #9, #45 a future 2nd rounder and an expiring for Afflalo & #12.

I think it will be #9 and Neal for Afflalo.  I would want O'Quinn also because he is a good backup c that could push Biz for that spot.  Maybe #9 and Biz.  Just stumbled on to this site a few days ago while on hornetsplanet. Hello everyone

    • I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.
    • Depends if they see the writing on the wall with their roster and contracts and decide to bite the bullet and begin a complete rebuild and roster overhaul.  I have no clue why some franchises (IE us) refuse to do this and keep half assing trying to win 8 games or so.  Do it correctly, take your lumps and build a contender.  We shall see what loomis decides.
    • Each team plays 17 games.  I do not see why they don't just have each team play one international game per year.  Neutral site game, 8 home, 8 away.
