16 assists for the hornets. Kemba with another of his usual performances shooting under 40%, getting torched by his man, and dishing out 3 whole assists.

Well guys, that's three really bad contracts on the team now. But this one is on the books quite a bit longer.

Those contracts don't look good right now but the important thing is they are movable, especially after the new cap kicks in. Part of the reason we signed Lance was because the deal is so easy to get out of if the experiment fails since we held all the leverage.

If we wanted to make deals involving the three contracts I think you're referring to, Lance and Marvin will be on one year contracts next season (because of Lances team option) for combined expirings of 16 million. Assuming Gerald opts in this offseason he also brings the expirings for 2016 to upwards of 20 million. Those are valuable trade chips regardless of their play on the court.

As far as Kemba is concerned, Jeremy Lin was dealt to the Lakers with a worse contract in this cap, so even though it was a bit of an overpay there would be a market for him if we wanted to move him. Teams like Sacramento love to acquire assets that have diminished in value so they can sell them high, hence bringing in Rudy Gay and being interested in the albatross of Josh Smith and out of place Rajon Rondo.

No way you're going to win consistently or a lot of games if you starting PG is dishing out 3 assists. PG is the most important position in the game.

Wow guys, and again I'm correct!!!!

Just fuggn listen to me and quit being a homer.

Kemba is a mediocre NBA PG who is overpaid. So, stop living with the past Kemba Walker of UCONN!

Omg thank you carolina chuck. You're the only person who's ever expressed this opinion about Kemba. Can you tell me the winning lottery numbers too??

    • They traded away their 1st next year also to get James Pearce Jr. Really hope this blows up in the Falcons face. I don't care how it happens, I just want to win the division this year. Zero sympathy for other team's issues. And our pass rush looks like it needs all the help it can get.
    • I would have released him this season, tbh and worked with Christensen out there. 
    • 10/10. We're due for some good luck, and I think this team is much better than what we've had the last 2 seasons. Defensive injuries could derail us b/c our depth there is still questionable. Still worried about the pass rush getting pressure without blitzing. Pleasantly surprised by the secondary and run defense.  Dan Morgan has done a lot to resurrect this roster from the deplorable position Fitterer left it in by showing some scouting chops with hitting on these guys drafted in the later rounds or UDFAs. Lathan Ransom & Corey Thornton both look like they fit this scheme and the NFL isn't too big for them.  I'm as excited for the rookie trifecta of T-Mac, Scourton, and Princely as I can remember. On paper, this offense is the most talented since 2021, maybe 2017, and maybe 2015. None of that means this team will produce any better, but this team has offensive talent & depth like we have rarely had in team history. If you don't believe me, go Google it. We've had some awful offensive collections overall in many years, to varying degrees mitigated by superstar talents like Steve Smith, Christian Mccaffrey, or Cam Newton.  I honestly think the collective offensive talent in 2025 may be better, but Cam was so otherworldly in 2015 & 2017 that he covered any flaws. Seriously, though, Cam doesnt get enough love for 2017. I think that may have been his best season. In general, Cam doesn't get enough respect IMHO. Both in college and in the NFL, Cam took teams that without him would have had no chance and won. True definition of a guy who elevated his team. To be clear, I am in no way am I saying this team will be better than 2017 or 2015. My point is that the offensive talent is there on offense if Bryce can unlock it.  I've been a Bryce supporter, but there are no excuses not to perform with this group. This isn't the disaster we gave him in 2023 or a new scheme like in 2024 where I think he hadn't mentally removed from his rookie season to start. I dont know how you couldnt be excited about that. And we still compete in a division that isn't insurmountable. I got got in 2023 like most of us in buying into the team propaganda, but in general, I think I'm pretty realistic about the team. I knew in my heart we would be bad last year. I wasnt expecting the defense to be that bad or Bryce to start off that poorly, but I had no expectations whatsoever for making the playoffs. And I genuinely think we will be competitive all year this season. I think we win 8-9 games and compete for the division. I think the ceiling is 11 wins, and the floor is 7. The good news is after next week, we will all be proven right or proven wrong. Keep Pounding!
