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.

    • Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.  
    • Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.
    • Totally possible imo, I also caught that snippet from Morgan where he said “If” we sign him. The lack of competition says otherwise tho 🤷‍♂️
