I tried to tell people Melo is not leaving Charlotte anytime soon. This is his 1st big contract. No way was he turning that down.

He’s trying to get the supermax next he’s not going anywhere

This is the super max, if he makes the All NBA team next year its a supermax, if not its just a regular max contract for around $200M

That's crazy. Hornets are the best at handing out ridiculous contracts and crippling themselves

As a rule that’s been true but that’s not exactly how NBA max contracts work. It was basically pay him this or lose him. We did the right thing.

Mr. Negativity strikes again!

 

What are we supposed to let our young franchise player leave?

 

Melo is the best pick this franchise has made since Alonzo Mourning and Larry Johnson. Can we at least keep our good picks or do we let him walk like Mourning/Johnson?

He’s trolling.. No need to question dumb opinions..

lol no way he is worth that, hornets doing hornets things

You for real? You need to look at what these players are getting now. This was expected and the right move. The big concern was he would leave for a larger market.

    • I see what you did there
    • Yeah the only way current set up is fun is if every year a different tiny school builds a super team and makes a run. You just need 1 rich guy to say you know what would be funny, if I drop 30 million and my school has a shot at a national championship.   They won't ever do it but put some sort of tiered salary cap in place and sign them to 4 year deals. You can only transfer up or down tiers no lateral moves because mean ole coach at texas doesn't play me enough so I'm going to Tennessee. So a player at prairie view can transfer to texas and get paid more or a player from UNC can transfer to UNCG because he isn't getting playing time. If a guy is transferring "up" he can get a salary bump if the team has salary cap space. A guy transferring down has to stay at the same salary as he signed his 4 year deal for so the lower tier team would have to have the cap space to sign him. It would stop the money chasing for lateral moves but allow guys who improve massively at lower schools to make more money as juniors and seniors and hopefully keep more guys in one place because the contract is for 4 years.
