Nor should it have been. $160m - $170m should have been the highest offered. No way I want to be paying a 35yr old Kemba $35m a year when we would have been in the same place as we were the last 8 years. 

Also for the love of God, we are now officially rebuilding so we need to follow these rules:

1. Don't trade any young guys or picks to get rid of contracts. 

2. We exchange our expirings for assets or let them expire. 

3. Don't panic and try to fast forward the rebuild. We did that the last time. We get impatient and try to make a splash and struggle. 

4. Play our young guys. I don't want to see Batum, Williams, MKG and Zeller getting huge minutes.

So when he said he would take less to stay with the Hornets, what he really meant was that he would take less than the max, not less than other teams.

5 yrs 160, while less per year, seems about on par with 4 yrs 140 because he gets the extra year in there for about 20 mil when he’s 35. The 5 yrs 175 he was looking for is more per year than he got from Boston and for an extra year.

What he said was misleading and I think people are too quick to roast the organization. Kemba was great to have here, and I’m glad we aren’t hamstringing ourselves for him because he hasn’t really gotten us anywhere.

You cut off half of his quote.  This is 100% on the team.

 

He said he would take less IF it meant helping the team this offseason (signing players etc) 

1. we aren't planning on it it

And

2. Our draft pick we came out and said he will spend time to start out he G-League.  

 

So they Didnt make the moves, so he Didnt take the discount

 

None of this is on Kemba on the Quote was no where misleading

So we would go 5 yrs at $160 but not 5 yrs at $175??

Just realize Kemba was gone unless we offered him 200m+. The reason he left was to win. He might have thought at one point he would stay for less but Kemba ultimately decided he wanted to win. Money would have been the only reason for him to stay and we would have had to massively overpay.

 Kemba taking 5 years 160 would have been awful for the hornets.  Why is anyone upset he left?  It's 100% the best for both parties. 

Agreed, but if that was the plan then they should have traded him last year. I get the feeling that our front office doesn't plan further ahead than lunch.

I think it was offensive to offer that to him and that's why he left.    I would have rather them not offered anything and just said we're moving into a new transitional phase for the team etc. and then the split would have went much better.     Then of course we go out and sign a backup PG to 20 mill per lol.

The big fail was not trading Kemba two years ago and starting the rebuild, such a fail move right there.   

I'm just glad most fans are angry at the right person/people and not Kemba.    I hate he went to a Boston team though, will be hard to route for them haha.

Stern & Silver have to be questioning their decision to award this (joke of a) franchise to Jordan.

The Warriors have been to 5 straight finals. Prior to them is was the Heat and coinciding with them was the Cavs. I'd say it's of no consequence how good or bad we are. Scouting department needs to be turned over and common sense roster moves made. Not resigning Kemba made sense because we would waste his Prime trying to wait out these bad contracts.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
