Brian Windhorst was just on Rusillo and Kannell, and when asked what's the craziest numbers he's heard, he said don't hold him to it, but from what he's heard Ryan Anderson is looking at 20M per.  He then said Marvin is being duscussed at 17-18M per.  He was then said Bazemore...  Rusillo said, "thats who we were waiting for!  15 Million?"  Windhorst said he thought he was a little low.  They all bust out laughing, and he says "16-17 per."

I knew some of the numbers would be bad with the cap increase, but yeesh...  and as much as i appreciate Marv, no thanks...

He's definitely not worth 18 million, although that may be his market value.

I wouldn't pay him over that early bird rights "max" of $12.25 million. Definitely don't want to have to clear cap space to sign Marvin to a $17-18 million deal. Maybe we can offer him a longer contract (not ideal) over a shorter contract with more money per year.

Do we really need another power forward when we have Zeller and Kaminsky. I know Zeller is listed as a Center but in the NBA he should be a power forward. If the Hornets want to continue developing their young bigs they should avoid Marvin Williams and use that money on a Center.

Kaminsky and Zeller are pretty ambiguous players and it becomes a challenge when defending.

Kaminsky, offensively, is more of the stretch 4 (or at least in the process). Defensively he doesn't have the athleticism to guard the 4 consistently and still a work in process down low. Cody, on the other hand, is more versatile. He does better down low on both ends.

I think we forget how good Marvin is as a defender. One reason why I wouldn't mind him back at $12.25 million

Marvin laid back and did nothing in his first year of his contract with us and when the contract year rolled around he magically started balling. I would not trust signing him.

I'm not sure players think that. I don't think it's that straight forward. 

Not saying I'd throw $18 million at him (would only use his EBR "max") but I think he continues where he left off last year.

Though I disagree about him as a player and about what he would do once he was signed I will say that 10 million would be fair for him per year. Nothing more. That is more than his current deal is.

      Major Concerns with this team…with numbers

      By Stumpy · Posted

      The good news is that we are pretty uniquely well established to address all of our needs this season. We have $14m real cap space, and something like $40m in trade deadline cap space. Not sure exactly how that works out. But, we have the room to absorb any bad contracts. With recent rule changes regarding retention, that went into effect this season, we now have a huge advantage in the trade market.  On top of that, while we do have obvious needs, we also have a glut of talent in certain areas that we struggle to find ice time for. We are over-stocked on scrappy talented lil-guys, strong defensively sound 3rd liners and shutdown left shot dmen. Whether it's a package or separate deals, idk. But, one of each from Stank/Blake/Nads, Erob/Carrier/KK/Jank, and Walker/Nystrom; throw in some 1st round picks (and frankly any other prospects they want) and we should be able to come out with a 1b to pair with Bussi and either a 2c with size or a 2c and size.   TL/DR We got the money, you got the stuff?

      I don’t  think 6’4 was ever considered small or undersized. Baby hands tho, yes that was his thing That’s an interesting idea, like an optical illusion? Sounds like you have personal experience with this!

      in the 25' draft the Carolina Panthers had hired Brandt Tillis someone who actually understood how to build a successful team & build through the draft .  this team was yes mismanaged for years prior to Brandt Tillis joining the team in 25' & rarely done anything right in the draft outside occaionaly getting lucky on an UDFA such as Jalen Coker who's dad coincidentally happened to be a huge Carolina Panthers fan, hint hint  ...just saying
