Boozer will still make 16mil next season in all.... so he don't care.

Boozer didn't sign Marvin Williams to $7M... so he didn't make that mistake. 

 

If the Hornets won't be paying Boozer all of that $16M, then nothing you just said supplants what I did.

Glad that's sarcasm. Who cares what he makes if we can still land Boozer & Stephenson. You can't carry over unused salary. He'll be one of the best back up Forwards in the league.

 

Everyone should care. If he was getting paid around what Kris Humphires is making... which he clearly should have been... the Hornets wouldn't be cutting it as close right now.

 

You all's refusal to acknowledge that will never change the fact of it. $7M for Williams was dumb.

I am going to E! Headquarters and pitching a Stephenson, PJ and Hardy reality show if this happens!!

 

If they have concerns about PJ and Stephenson being on the team together, they should still sign Stephenson, who is the better player and has proven that he can play in the NBA, and then decide what they need to do with PJ, who doesn't have to be on the team next season. 

 

Lance > PJ (if you had to choose one).

As long as we get the best player on the board, who cares what Marvin is making. Not like we don't have any expirings next season and it's only for two years.

Come on, man. We are officially in pursuit of the guy you swore with these moves we were never getting, and now that we have a real shot at him, you're just looking for a reason to continue being a pessimist.

It's done.  Let it go...

 

Think about it like this...  If he accepted our offer of 7 mil per and he was talking to multiple teams, odds are they were offering somewhere in the same ballpark and we nudged them out for his services.

 

So what...  It's over with.

If we do end up signing Lance this was an incredible move by Cho and company. Basically waited until the entire market dried up and we are the only ones who could conceivably pay for him and now we can get him to accept less year or money then in the beginning of the FA period. Risky but could be brilliant.

If they did that just to give Marvin Williams $7M then it's still a fail.

$7 mil probably is a slight overpayment for Williams (I think 2yrs/11mil would have been fair) considering what guys like Booker and Humphries got.

However, Williams salary actually decreased upon signing with Charlotte. He was on a 5X$7.5 before his contract expired this year.

If he puts up12/5 as a starter or 8/4 as a backup I'll be perfectly fine with him.

Really? Still stuck on this? I am so surprised you are not a GM with your expertise and the fact that you could do no wrong. 

 

The fact is if Lance signs and with all of the other signings/draft picks the Charlotte Hornets will have had a very good borderline great offseason

    • Right, so basically what I said in my first post about this last night. Tepper needs to use that big wallet of his in one of the few ways it can be used in the NFL given the cap.   Give Scourton a bigger signing bonus but not a fully guaranteed deal. Everyone wins in that scenario as if Scourton is smart and hires good money people, he'll take that bigger signing bonus and use it to make more money in the end over the next 4 years than if he just had his fully guaranteed deal and a smaller signing bonus.
    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ
