I was curious about the outlook of our team because I have been very optimistic about our team and wanted to take a glance at our new Hornets and first off a few things have stuck out. Great job to Cho and MJ. We are building our team the right way finally!!

 

Ok so I optioned out Mcbob because I think he will and I gave Kemba 10m after next year. I hope he gets $8m but for arguments sake I raised it up. 

 

Basically what we have right now is the chance for a Max player or several good role players. I am excited to see us have more than $25m available after the draft to pick up some key guys. 

 

Who else looks at this and is very excited?? I never have thought we would be able to get a MAX guy in CLT but looking at the numbers above, we have a very attractive team to try to court a big name guy. And if we stay the course and go after an above average shooting guard I would be happy with that too! 

 

I love this team and am glad they are finally winning. It's fun basketball!

 

PS Sorry I had the above in a spreadsheet and it got all screwed up

Honestly, all we really need are two players. A legit starting SG and a legit starting SF. Hendo and MKG, are role type bench players. Would be great on the second team. If we can upgrade those two positions, give Kemba an awesome backup PG and possibly add a good center to back up Al, we could easily be a top 3 team in the east really fast. Have to make the right moves. I think with our current team and players like Al, and Kemba, also with the Hornets coming back and MJ we will be very attractive to good FAs now. I am excited to see what kind of team we can have for our first year as the Hornets again.

I think Love is a LA lock.

 

I agree though, this team's future is extremely bright.  This seasons been pretty fun

 

Can't wait to see what happens the rest of the season and playoffs.  Then next year is a huge year.  Hornets name change, potentially bringing in another great player, seeing the development of players like Zeller and Kemba.

 

Enjoy the ride while it last

Why would a guy frustrated by not winning go to the Lakers?  I know they will get Kobe back eventually but is he going to be the old Kobe?  Probably not.  The Lakers are terrible and even with the 36 year old, Achilles blown, version of Kobe they have a ways to go.

 

Unless you meant the Clippers but he probably doesn't want to play behind Blake Griffin.

 

If he comes to Charlotte we will probably be right up there with Miami and Indiana in the East.  And even that is assuming everyone stays in Miami.

In the realm of reality where Lebron or Carmelo would not come to Charlotte, 4 guys i think would be ideal free agent pickups to start at SF for us:

- Rudy Gay (Player Option)

- Luol Deng

- Gordon Hayward

- Chandler Parsons

- Lance Stephenson (I know he is a PG for indiana, but he has size and ability to play the 3)

 

Then sign one or 2 more complimentary pieces on the cheap (defenders & shooters)

- McBob

- James Johnson

- Jordan Crawford

Stephenson plays SG, not PG, and I do think we possibly make a run at him but it'd be as a 2-guard.

Just no to Gay, there's a reason why he's on his third team in the last two years. Hell, Toronto went from lottery to the third seed after trading him, and Sac is basically the same since acquiring him.

    • Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.          
    • I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.  
    • Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
