Too early, but should things continue this would definitely be a possibility.

The problem is you're going to run into a situation like the Braves are in right now. If you trade Al, you might as well tear it all down with the exception of the youngins and hope they develop enough so by 2016 you have a young core and cap space in a bad east to pitch to Steph a la Cleveland and LeBron.

The problem with that is Cho is not going to be the guy that tears down what he just built, so he would probably have to go.

God between the braves, hornets and panthers I'm ready pull my eyes out. I expected this year to be one of the best sports seasons for me ever (Braves coming off a 96 win season, Panthers off a 12 win season, and the return of the hornets) but the whole year has gone to poo.

Dan Uggla and Bj upton cost us a Heyward extension.

Just...I can't...that's just terrible...

On a positive note, should the hornets be in a position to sell off players, they already have a young core in the wings and the contracts they have on the books aren't exactly albatrosses (somebody will want to buy low on Kemba if he's made available. That's been the MO of the Kings for a couple years, and Hendo can be a throw in to match salaries.)

The Hornets section is a dumpster fire, did half of you start watching basketball last year?

Are you kidding? Chuck has actually gone away from his emotional posts and folks are dropping knowledge like it's going out of style.

Roster talk is a year round thing, and with Al surely opting out after this season it is interesting to think about.

Trade him for who?

 

It's a bit early, these guys have to learn to play together.  This isn't the NFL.  I'm a bit worried, yes, but it's still early.  

 

For a minute I thought I was in the Panthers section. This place is a damn abomination right now.

Pretty much how I feel also. I will say this, if Al doesn't start showing some intensity on the boards or defensively, I want him gone if we can get a good trade. He looks like he doesn't give a poo out there on the court.

      TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive.

      Teddy Checkdown in trouble

      I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Nobody is saying they don't count against the cap, because yes, they technically do count against the cap as it's money the team is paying and it needs to be accounted for. But what you're not grasping it seems is that if a player gets $10 million guaranteed in their contract, whether they get literally $0 as a signing bonus or $8 million as a signing bonus, it doesn't change the overall cap hit of the contract, because cap hits are about the guaranteed money, not how much is paid up front. The only thing that how much is paid up front changes, is how the cap hit can be spread out amongst the years. So yes, technically there could end up being a slightly bigger cap hit in year 3 and 4 due to a bigger signing bonus, but if that is the case, it also means there will be a lesser cap hit in years 1 and 2 than there would have been with a smaller bonus.  But over the length of the contract, the size of the signing bonus has literally zero affect on the overall cap hit of the contract, because THAT part of it is 100% about the guaranteed money and nothing else.
