The fuggin people on this board.  Lamelo is worth every cent of a max deal for this franchise.  I find it amazing we were able to get him to resign here.  

 

Exactly! This offer was expected, the concern was if he would take it or not.

Lamelo is a superstar.  We gotta get talented enough to get this guy in the playoffs.  Will be so fun to see him on that stage.

LOL…and is 22 yrs old.  So stoked he resigned here

I can answer the question for everyone. Not many currently playing or ever have played that have put up what Lamelo Ball did at 22.

 

7 players in the history of the NBA have averaged 25, 8 and 6 a game for a season. 

That goes up a few players at 23, 8 and 6 but not many. Even fewer that have done it before turning 25. To not want him here, it's crazy.

The Hornets need an on the court leader badly.  I really don’t know who that vet is but Kup needs to find that guy.  This team just needs to figure out how to win and the current coach isn’t that leader IMO

The young talent here is very high level

They need to replace Clifford as well.

Firing another coach after 1 year definitely isnt the call. We already have a hard enough time finding someone to coach this team, maybe we shouldnt fire every single coach after a bad season that was mostly out of his control.

Agree but with who. We couldn't find any one to take the job last time.  Maybe that changes once mj is gone

MJ having less influence, Melo locked down for 5 years, and drafting Miller should make it more attractive IMO.

Fair enough, I just read through the morning headlines and it seems he was getting the max deserved or not.  Just crazy to me he is going to be getting 50 million per and they havent won poo yet with him.  Sure he is young but his production is getting wins.

He’s still super young and the hope is his game gets more polished as he matures as a player.  Also he needs to stay healthy.

But the talent is undeniable and it’s not every day this franchise gets a player of his caliber.  You can pick in the top 3 for years and not hit on a player like him.

Its a bit risky to build around him because of the missed time, but I don’t really see how moving on from Lamelo would be a better option for this team at this juncture.

With everyone healthy this is a team that could make the playoffs.  And the core of the roster is so young that they could improve significantly over the next couple seasons.  Maybe we can get a good coach too.

You mean that without him we may not make the playoffs, lol.

No, I mean the message that it sends to the fanbase. Luck your way up in the lottery and draft a young kid with star potential, who wants to be in Charlotte. Then let him walk because you're too cheap to pay him.

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

Oh, I thought they couldn’t offer the full amount until he met the requirements. Huge incentive for him to ball out now.

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
