So we all agree Hendo can't be on the roster this year?

I value loyalty, not above "all else" but I do value it. I think if someone came along willing to take his contract of our hands I'd do it as long as we had a guy like Lance Stephenson who would be the starter anyways.

I want clear something up. I'm not defending keeping him. I'd like to trade his 6 million a year contract. However, I don't understand all the hate he gets. He may get more playing time then he deserves, but that is because of the lack of options behind him. It's not his fault. He has done nothing to orchestrate the hate he gets. Same with McRoberts.

People don't "hate" Henderson. They hate the idea that a big part of the Hornets' success currently depends on him.

I guess I have to repeat this. He wasn't "loyal." He was happy just to have a job, lol. If he'd been in high demand last offseason, do you think he'd have turned down a higher offer than the Bobcats gave him? Of course not, but that would've been "loyalty." Simply not being disgruntled when you have no leverage isn't.

Hendo performed in a contract year and got paid.

Sound familiar?

 

Basically this.  I think we paid him with hopes that he would build on that year.  Instead, he got worse, and not only that, he got worse AFTER we brought in Jefferson which if anything, should have freed him up a bit to produce more. 

 

I'm not mad he's on the team, and I'd only trade if we had other/better options with higher ceilings.  He just plays a position where we need more production than he's giving and we need someone to step up when we need it.    Because of all that, he's overpaid, but I still value has classiness and loyalty.

Problem is, I think bringing in Big Al made Hendo less effective.

Again, I think Hendo is a good player at the right price and with the right team. Just not sure that this team is the right one for him and certainly not at that price.

Henderson is a hard worker and I think he will still improve some. He pulled a Raymond Felton (almost) in the playoffs, but that aside he is solid.

He has improved every year from behind the arc and I wouldn't be surprised if he shot better than .370 from deep this year. He will never be elite, but he improves every season.

My main issue with Gerald is that I don't think he takes advantage of his athleticism enough offensively. He is effective getting to the rim and he needs to do so more often.

This I agree with. Hendo has slightly improved his shot from behind the arc, and in fact shot as well this past year as the great one himself Harrison Barnes that many want to trade for. Just please don't mention Felton again as Hendo has never even come close to being that bad. The worst draft by any team in history had to be the year Charlotte took Felton and May both in the lottery.

The problem is (and I'm a huge Hendo fan) he and MKG don't work well on the court together. They both do their work in the same areas and that lesson our versatility on offense.

And since MKG has more upside and Hendo is about at his ceiling. Hendo is the odd man out.

Anyone who didn't say that (like I did) when the Bobcats were about to draft MKG, doesn't know squat. Soon as they drafted MKG, Henderson should've been replaced, or they should've drafted Beal or Barnes.

Don't need to hear anyone saying, "No, they should've drafted Damian Lillard," because at the time they weren't looking to replace Kemba. It was MKG, Beal, or Barnes, which means it was actually MKG or Barnes, since they took a SF because Henderson was a SG.

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      generally speaking, going by the original NFL international marketing rights announcement... we would expect to host a Germany home game once every four years.  Doesn't mean we would play internationally only then, just the guarantee home game situation things might have changed since then, if they figure out how to play at more stadiums during a season to expand the number of "home" teams available

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      Munich won't happen. It's a Lions home game in Munich, but we play the Lions at home at BOA Most likely to happen would be Madrid vs the Falcons (although KC has been pushing hard for this one). From a schedule perspective, it would be interesting to have an early November Madrid game (then the bye week), then close out the season at BOA for the 2nd game vs the falcons.  In other words, put the two division games in the 2nd half of the season Paris vs the Saints has long been rumored to be the Browns (but... never say never) We wouldn't play Munich, Melbourne, Mexico City, London, or Rio based on who those announced home teams happen to be

      Moton's knees were an issue before last season. He will be 32 before the season starts and gets 14.2M in '26 and 21.5M for '27 (not guaranteed). LT Icky and Rasheed Walker are signed through '26 and Freeling through '30 (option); LG Lewis signed through '28, C Fortner through '26 and Hecht through '29; RG Hunt through '28, RG Moton through '27.  They did a good job shoring up that oline.  We can have a starting oline of: LT Freeiling, LG Lewis, C Hecht, RG Hunt, and RT Moton pretty much locked up through the '27 season (will just take a Moton option to do). That's good because we need to be ready to pull the trigger with next year's QB class.
