I don’t want to lose Terry just yet. The man can absolutely ball and gives this young team a needed attitude. I don’t see us being able to retain him after this upcoming season. I rather have him for a year and lose him for nothing next year. Maybe you don’t lose him for nothing if you can work out a sign in trade. Hopefully if anyone gets traded that it’ll be Gordon Hayward. I don’t hate the man but he’s just so injury proned. Maybe GSW can take him off our hands. 

If the Hornets are still in play for lauri, then something has to be going on with the Oubre deal. W/e the case is, this is freaking crazy.

Not the biggest Wiseman fan.  Also, saw a Bulls fan saying how soft Lauri Mark is and that he is atrocious on defense.  Ouch

The life of a small market team my friend. I'll take any improvement that's available but none will be without flaws.

If the plan is not to give Terry some huge contract then now is the time to trade him

I'd rather trade him while the team can and get something back instead of just letting him walk next year. The only thing about trading Terry now is that letting both Graham and Monk go leaves the Hornets very thin at guard. Though I guess Gordon can play the 2 with Miles at the 3.

if Mitch really wants to make this happen - I trust him..

not sure what we would have to give up but after learning about the protections around the 1st Rnd pick we got for Graham - I wouldn't mind throwing that into a sign & trade for Markkanen if it seals the deal.. that 1st Rnd pick will most likely turn into two 2nd Rounders..

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
