Kemba brought MCW to Charlotte

Walker said he took the initiative to sell everyone – the front office, the coaching staff and Carter-Williams – on what a good fit this could be.

“I’m the one who got that deal done,” Walker said after an appearance at the Hornets’ summer basketball camp at Charlotte Latin. “I’m the one who called Jeff, I’m the one who talked to MCW. I spoke to everybody - MJ (owner Michael Jordan), Rich (Cho, the general manager).

“Why wouldn’t you want a guy who was rookie of the year? He’s 6-6. I’ve played against him over the years, and I think he’s a really special talent.”

This is a good sign for the Hornets. It shows Kemba that as an organization we respect his opinion as leader of the team. This might help us when we renegotiate his contact.

That's what I felt was really revealing and something I appreciate. You can't let the players determine the roster but their opinions  should count.

I hope MCW pans out for us I am just worried about him and MKG ever being on the floor at the same time, the spacing will be non existent unless one or both figures out how to hit a 3 during the offseason.

I don't think we will see much of the MCW & MKG lineup except if we are up and trying to keep a lead. Now, let's not fool ourselves their shooting is awful but both can drive to the basket and finish. 

PG: Kemba SG: MCW SF: Batum PF: MKG C: Zeller

Now having Howard would make our defense better, but I think Zeller would be playing down the stretch due to FT%. This lineup would be quite good defensively especially against the increasingly present small lineups. 

Now if we need scoring at the end: Kemba, Monk, Batum, Frank, Zeller

The leaguewide obsession with the 3 has really changed the dynamic of player valuation. No way a player like MCW would be available even 5 years ago for the price we got him on. The only way to exploit the strategy is to put together a squad of big, tough, perimeter defenders and guys who can just beat you to the basket time after time. I'm tired of hearing about MCW taking threes. That's not his game. It would be nice if he had a shot, but like I said elsewhere if he had a shot he'd be on a max deal. Let's be real, we're not going to out-talent anyone. We have to outwork teams if we're going to be competitive. Play with dedication to the system and hustle. MCW does those things. His three point production is about as pointless as Jerome Bettis' 40 time.

With how well Lamb played to end the season, I could see him playing some 3 in a lineup or of course Batum.  

Also, the 2 is going to be filled by Batum, Monk, and Lamb so I don't see us using substantial minutes with MCW there.  

MCW-Monk-Lamb/Batum-Zeller-Frank presents a pretty interesting package.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
