Hornets Salary Cap Update - Post-Hendo Signing

I have updated our salary cap spreadsheet after finalizing Hendo's contract this weekend.  Appears we  will have roughly $16-17 million dollars next off-season to replace Ben Gordon, Ramon Sessions, & Jeff Adrien who I would assume we do not resign as free agents when their contract expires.

 

Leaving us with 1 PG (Kemba), 2 SG's (Taylor & Henderson), & 1 SF (MKG) in the backcourt going into a deep free agent off-season and a highly acclaimed rookie draft class.

 

A scoring SF should be at the top of our priority list either in a trade this season or in next year's off-season (via draft or free agency).  Cho has kept our salary cap flexible which will allow us to choose to get serviceable depth or go for another high priced free agent next off-season and add scraps around the core.  Cho should be commended for all he has done and I am excited to see the next big move we make.  

 

I think there is enough potential on the team now to make Charlotte an appealing destination, we just need to prove it next season by fighting for a playoff spot & potentially stealing one.  I don't see tanking in this teams plans for next season.

Quick question, is there a reason that Adriens and Taylor's numbers are gray or not.

I wasn't sure if that indicated something.

I think Adrien is on a team option contract this year (non-guaranteed) and JT is on a team option contract next year.

The gray $$$ indicate non-guaranteed contract values.  These are guys the teams basically hold an option for although in some cases a portion of the salary is guaranteed.

 

In Jeff Adrien's case, I believe he is playing for the minimum and it is completely non-guaranteed.

If we make the playoffs you all will regret it. The sucess will be short lived. We need that top 5 pick

There is no reason that Charlotte could not become a Pacers or Grizzlies type team with depth and young talent without getting one of the "blue chippers" slated in next year's draft.  When Zeller backed out of last year's draft to play his sophomore season, he was the consensus #1 pick for this draft.  Things change dramatically over the course of a season and there will be a new name in the draft in the top 10 next year that you have never even heard of.  The sky is not falling if we make the playoffs.

Well said and saying the sky is falling if we make the playoffs is unique to this team lol..

for once we have a promising young team that appears to be set. A top five pick in next years draft should solidify us in the playoffs. Id go far as to say if we get lucky and get wiggins, we would be a championship contender for years to come.

This. Its only one more year. Why fug it up now to be a constant 4 or 5 seed for years to come. If we get a top 5 and the pistons pick would be great. Throw in the blazers and cho will have alot to work with. The hornets need to start out with a bang. Idc about the bobcats

    • Mike Davis is like yeah, why would these coaches expect me to watch film on our next opponent if I'm playing good.  Yeah, I really don't pay attention to a lot of stuff around me if I'm doing good.   also Mike Davis, how dare they give all the reps to CMC.  from just listening to that interview, I think Mike Davis likely was often in Mike Davis' way and he can't comprehend that aspect.  Even his story of why he hated people.....was weird.  He hated Steve Spurrier because Spurrier was like hey Mike, Marcus Lattimore left...and we need you to step up into that role/void and be more for us.   And Mike Davis was like, can you believe that motha trucka!! Nah Steve.  Just give me the ball and leave me alone (paraphrasing it all obviously but that was the gist). 
    • Unless he's 1,000%, just sit him an extra week at this point to let him get his legs back under him. I want to see him out there as much as the next guy, but this was a serious thing and I'd rather wait an extra week than put him out one day too early and risk something going wrong, play the long game for once.
    • God, these posts are really starting to piss me off If we're relying on Moore, Idzik, and Canales to carry that weight, then we're royally screwing over our young WR room.  It's not that those guys can't help with some of it, but these young promising WRs are going to miss out on a lot of learning that can only be provided by the vets on the team.   You do realize that coaches spend ZERO time in the locker room, right?   They are only in there just before games and at halftime, but the rest of the week, they have their own locker room, they only spend time with the players on the field and in the film room.  There is soooooo much time that you're leaving unaccounted for where players are working together to get better. Players are constantly talking about their game and how they can improve while they're in the locker room.  If you think career long special teamer David Moore is going to be able to carry that water in the locker room, then you're sorely and woefully mistaken. Even beyond that, if a coach pulls a player aside to give advice between series, that still means there are 4-5 other WRs who aren't getting individual advice, where that's normally a time a vet like Thielen is going over with them what he's seeing out there and how they can do X, Y, or Z to do A, B, or C better on the next drive.
