Hornets vs Magic

Hornets have a great locker room, dare I say one of the best in the NBA. I've never heard any negative comments ever mentioned about the front office, staff, or players (save D.J. Augustin when he got salty that the ***cats elected not to bring him back because of Kemba).

Ultimately I think this allows the Dwight Howard's, Stephen Jackson's, Boris Diaw's, Jeremy Lin's, Al Jefferson's, Jeremy Lamb's, Jason Richardson's and Gerald Wallace's of the NBA to revitalize their careers.

The Hornets have even been able to prolong careers and get good seasons out of players like Corey Maggette, Kwame Brown, Josh McRoberts, Chris Douglas-Roberts, Ben Gordon, etc.

Obviously this isn't the case with every player (i.e Lance Stephenson, Spencer Hawes, and Roy Hibbert). But I believe if there is talent left; MJ, Clifford, Silas, and co. will get it out of the players (i.e. Howard).

The guys look like they are really having fun out there and save Cleveland and maybe Boston I don't see a team in the East we couldn't take in 7.

Right now, Cleveland can't even beat the Knicks.

There is a lot of homer-ism in that post but I like it..

Kemba is the head of the team - and when you have an EGO-less leader - backed up by a truly humble vet like Marvin = everyone else falls into line.. kinda like San Antonio was with Duncan.. they have fun and know how to work - no one complains about getting shots - and if they have a problem: Cliff has been praised by many on being Real and Honest with his players.. we have a good foundation for a franchise - but the consistency needs to continue..

November and December are going to be tough months..

This team has the opportunity to very good when healthy.

First Unit of Kemba, Batum, MKG, Marvin, Howard

Second Unit of MCW, Lamb, Bacon, Frank, Cody

Rotational: Monk, Graham, O'Bryant

Extras: Stone, Paige (G Leauge), Mathiang (G League)

I'd rather Lamb start for now on.. More aggressive scorer which this team needs.  Batum is way to passive.

    • I probably would have become a casual Hornets fan if Cooper ended up there, but the NBA just solidified my apathy for its product. Hornets also got shafted when Lakers got cold feet on the Mark Williams trade. NBA is corrupt and that alien-headed Silver is the kingpin.
    • Most analysts from what I've seen are projecting next year's cap as closer to $298M but as high as in the low 300s. We saw a $24M increase this season, $31M increase last season, and $16M prior to that. There's also the inevitable cap casualties... A'Shawn Robinson being cut saves the team $8.5M. Damien Lewis would save $9M. BB3, Jewell, PJ2 all would save $5M each. Tremble and Mike Jackson could save $4M each. It wouldn't surprise me to see the team make a few moves that end up giving them closer to $50M in cap space to start 2026. I'm less worried about next year's cap space due to the upcoming UFAs for the team: TMo, AT, Tuttle, Wonnum, Nijman, Mays, Corbett, BC, Dowdle, Rozeboom, Martin, Rhattigan, Jansen, Scott... the only FAs I'm seeing on Spotrac outside of TMo that are must keeps are ERFAs Coker + Demani (so long as TMo's knee is fine, of course). 2027 on the other hand is going to be the offseason for Bryce's bonus option with Icky being the most significant UFA. PJ2, A'Shawn, Josey, MJackson, Tremble, Dalton, DJ Johnson, Zavala, and Bartholomew are the only other current FAs then. I'm of the opinion that they are all in on next season and if it doesn't go well, it's being blown up and starting from scratch. They're currently estimated to have $130M in free cap space in 2027.
