I'm going to go ahead and let you know what's going to happen...

With just over $21 million to spend in free agency, we're going to overpay for Rudy Gay (about a year and a half ago we were contemplating trading for him).

Some fans will like the trade, some won't; we'll have to see how it plays out.

I take back what I said about wins and the scorer, if it's anyone but Gay, the team will be better. With Gay, I'd expect 20-30 more losses.

I just have a gut feeling this is what's going to happen lol.

We're going to go after Melo, he's going to stay in NY, then we're going to overpay for Rudy.

Yuck.

Look at Raptors, with Gay = horrible team. With out = playoff team. At least the Hornets will have some good lottery picks the next 2-3 years and will be fun to play with on NBA 2k. Lol

Personally,I don't see us struggling next year...

- Pholadelphia and Milwaukee are at least three years away from competing while they continue to rebuild.

- New York, Indiana, Chicago, and Brooklyn have no money.

- Orlando, Detroit, and Cleveland are most likely going to blow their poo up and try to rebuild.

- Miami could possibly lose all their free agents.

In my opinion: Charlotte, Washington, Toronto, and Atlanta are in the best shape. They're all making the playoffs (which entices free agents) and each team has at least $13+ mil to spend in free agency. It's going to come down to how they use it.

I think we should throw all of our money at Melo, if he doesn't want to come; that's fine; then get to the salary floor and save the money until next year when Kevin Love becomes a free agent and we also have Detroit's pick which will most likely be a lotto pick.

You have to have a multiple players who are top 10 at their position to succeed in this league which is why I'm not a fan of spending money just to spend it. We've seen that you can get by with role players. So until we have the opportunity to sign a big name player, just keep filling out the roster with cheap roll players.

Go after LeBron, Melo, Wade, Dirk, Monroe, Duncan, Bledsoe, Randolph, Hayward, and Dengue this year... If you don't get anyone; don't settle for Gay... just wait until next year.

Such little faith here! I think that we will draft a project player OR a player that excels in one particular area. In terms of free agency I think we will make a solid signing and I don't think that we will overpay. I think we are an attractive team to come to as a free agent. We have a top 5 center, good young point guard, good coach, fans who are BEYOND excited to see the Hornets return, and are a young up and coming team in general. I for one am excited to see what can be done this offseason.

Free agency isn't going to bring in a whole lot, Kemba is a poor volume shooter, with out MKG to protect him and the defense, Jefferson is a bottom 10 defensive center and a top 3-5 offensive center. Hendo is meh, the team has no PF unless Zeller makes a huge jump in year 2.

Adding a sf to score that doesn't play defense makes this team horrible defensively and a 25 win team max.

This is also me having faith, if I didn't have faith I'd say blow the team up and rebuild again. "Which I'm very close to saying any way even with faith."

Panic much?

 

Add Lance and use Hendo as trade bait to move up in draft with Portland pick. Add vet PG and another depth big man. Don't do anything stupid like adding a cancer like Rudy Gay. 

 

Then we still have money for resigning core and 2 first rd picks next year. Detroit pick should be good and is only top 1-2 protected and our own pick.

      Fvck Bryce Young

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      Idk man, I think it’s necessary.  There’s people working 9-5s everyday that get told poo about what they aren’t and what they’re not capable of and they’re working for scraps.  These guys are making millions.  People are watching and invested because their team and fandom is a part of their identity and a big source of pride.  When someone like Bryce comes in and is given chance after chance after chance after proving he is not worthy of the position he’s being gifted, and he continues to be the biggest reason above any that we are losing, yeah…  I think it’s fair to call a spade a spade.  Am I saying Bryce the person is trash?  Bryce the person is a piece of poo?  Absolutely not.     I came up in an era, especially in basketball, where if you were fuging up people heckled the poo out of you.  I played in rec leagues as a teen where the fuging parents were calling kids trash and yelling poo like “TURNOVER!!!  TURNOVER!!!”  “CANT DRIBBLE!”  “CANT SHOOT!”  And that’s adults screaming that poo to kids like we were in the fuging Rucker lol.🤣🤣🤣  I went on to play basketball at a collegiate level and with professional players in different settings.  What those experiences as a kid taught me was to see if there is any merit to what people are saying, and if there is, then work my ass off til they can’t say that anymore.  Come back better, tougher, harder.  And I did.  If kids can figure that poo out, an adult calling another adult who is bad at his job while making millions and millions of dollars will be just fine.

      I'm 43.... I've lived half my life if I am lucky... will we ever have another team that we will fall in love with?!?

      I have tried to like this team, lord knows I have tried. BY9 is a nice young man, if I had a daughter he can take her to prom, but he ain't QB1 and he's not Cam or Delhomme Chuba is a average RB, he isn't Stephen Davis, he isn't J-Stew McMillan has the makings of a good WR, but he isn't 89/Moose D. Brown is a great player, but if the game was on the line I want Kris Jenkins       I miss this brand of football, even in the bad Jake games the games were entertaining It has been nearly 8 years now of watching numb football

      I’m not sure people understand how fuging bad it is

      I'm not so sure. Something about the whole Frank/Bryce situation seemed off from day 1. Bryce didn't fit Frank's QB mold as well as Stroud, then he basically gives up when Bryce is named starter in preseason but gets virtually no reps in games. Then he looks completely unprepared and Dalton steps in in Seattle, has a decent game under immense pressure, and it's right back to Bryce. All his mechanics are terrible and he's having the worst rookie season ever and Frank doesn't bench him?  You dont have to be a conspiracy theorist to know Bryce wasn't ready to be a day 1 starter. Everything with Bryce, then coaches, and the FO seemed forced.
