We all witnessed LeBron 'retun home' this past offseason and are all keeping an eye on Durant and if he will go back to DC when his contract is up.

So with that in mind, Steph Curry's contract is up in 2 years too. People have hinted at the possibility of him 'coming home' to Carolina- even the Commish mentioned it in passing when we were awarded the All-Star game. Now, team have been positioning themselves for Durrant for months now, what if we positioned ourselves for Curry right now? How, do you ask? Well, I'm glad you did.. Steph Curry is up in 2 years and David Lee has been documented as Steph's best friend on the Warrior's roster. What if we offered David Lee a fair 3 year contract. That way when Curry is up for FA- he will be looking at 'Home' and see his best bud on the team already. I know we already have a abundance of Bigs right now, but we could trade Zeller and Marvin comes off the books next year. I think it would be smart if we truly are eyeing a return home for Steph.

Ideas?

I'm 100% positive Curry will play with this team,... when he's in the twilight of his career. Golden State would pay ANYTHING to keep him.

Golden State will pay anything and with Bird Rights and contract voodoo they'll be able to pay more. For Curry to come here he is going to want to come home for less (still gonna be a lot) and bring a struggling franchise out of the cellar. That's the only way Curry plays for the Hornets in 2 years.

Steph has won an NBA ring, MVP, etc.

He can now do what he wants, and coming home to CLT is not out of the question.

It's definitely not out of the question but the main question should be why come to Charlotte minus the fact that its home? If we are still in the same situation that we are in now I don't think Steph will return just my honest opinion.

Home is the reason.

I would stay in GS if I had not won a championship, but now that he has, he can try to bring one to CLT as has been referenced with Lebron, make a lot of money, AND be home and bring up his kids around family

Maybe he cares about greatness, going somewhere where they haven't won before, and making that his franchise for history.  Like Jordan and the Bulls.  Lebron will be remembered for someone that had to have a full cast, but maybe Steph wants it different.  Who knows though.

I don't think these moves are being made with the idea of Curry in mind as much as the idea of the team not being a laughing stock come the 2017 All-Star Game.

It's one thing to acquire players in a desperate attempt to keep an impending free agent on the team satisfied, but trying to acquire Warrior cast-offs to lure him away would be...well...not a good idea, to put it lightly.

With the cap jumping up, it looks like we would need to have around 30-40 million clear to take our shot, and if the books are any indication right now that is definitely doable as long as we spend responsibly (don't overpay MKG, Batum, DO NOT PAY AL.)

Even if it doesn't work out, IMO just getting a guy like Curry in for a visit would be a victory in and of itself and show that little ol' Charlotte can be a factor in the upper echelon of free agency. With his and his family's strong connection to the area and the organization, it would be irresponsible NOT to at least reach out and gauge interest.

Even though GS will be able to offer him much more he'd still make more money in NC because CA taxes are insane.

      A look at the team after the draft and udfa signings...

      By KillerKat · Posted

      My projection. I think at WR its time to go with youth. This means Moore should be the odd man out. Horn can return both punts and kicks and Tremayne is a better WR than Moore. XL gets one more year to prove himself, although I could see a trade in the future which would mean Moore could stay. For OL, I would like us to bring back Brady if we can. The RBs, Trevor can return both punts and kicks too. With the uncertainty of Brooks and Dillon, its hard to choose either one. I think the team would like for Brooks to have a breakout season to clear any uncertainty that he deserves a spot. For now, I have them both even and on the team. DL looks solid as well as OLB. Watch out for the UDFA of Aaron Hall and Isaiah Smith at OLB. They look promising and could knock someone off the team. ILB is still the biggest weakness on the team. We need to upgrade that any means necessary. CB is strong and Im praying to all the Gods that Wheatley beats out Scott at FS.  OFFENSE: WR: Tetairoa McMillan - *Chris Brazzell II* - Brycen Tremayne TE: Tommy Tremble - James Mitchell LT: #Rasheed Walker# - *Monroe Freeling* LG: Damien Lewis C- #Luke Fortner# - *Sam Hecht* RG: Robert Hunt - #Saahdiq Charles# RT: Taylor Moton - #Stone Forsythe# TE: Ja`Tavion Sanders - Mitchell Evans WR: Xavier Legette - Jalen Coker - Jimmy Horn Jr. QB: Bryce Young - #Kenny Pickett# RB: Chuba Hubbard - Trevor Etienne - #AJ Dillon# - Jonathon Brooks DEFENSE: LE: Tershawn Wharton - Bobby Brown III  NT: *Lee Hunter* - Cam Jackson RE: Derrick Brown - LaBryan Ray LOLB: Nic Scourton - Patrick Jones II  LILB: Trevin Wallace - Bam Martin-Scott - *Jackson Kuwatch* RILB: #Devin Lloyd# - Claudin Cherrelus  ROLB: #Jaelen Phillips# - Princely Umanmielen LCB: Jaycee Horn - Akayleb Evans RCB: Mike Jackson - *Will Lee III* - Chau Smith-Wade SS: Tre`von Moehrig - Lathan Ransom FS:  Nick Scott - *Zakee Wheatley* - Demani Richardson  SPECIAL TEAMS: K/KO: Ryan Fitzgerald P/H: Sam Martin KR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. PR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. LS: J.J.

      So is Legette getting traded?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      His contract is guaranteed.  Legette is just not where he needs to be mentally.  Not fully invested, it seems.

      Literally like Hill. He's not QB1 material (now or ever), but if we can turn him into a H-back and use him like  Swiss army knife, that's his ticket to make the roster.  H-back/emergency QB.  I wonder how good his hands are?  If they are at least above average by NFL standards then we can line him up in the backfield, in the slot, split out wide and of course, in the Wildcat.
