Pastor Dillon Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 I don’t understand the hornets giving Hayward 30 million. It’s not like they have anything around him to compete with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Brown Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Sounds like Cs gonna get a decent Hayward replacement in Millsap at least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troy Brown Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 It really isn't the best lineup the east has seen in a long time because Kyrie is going to freeze out everyone not named Durant. Everyone on that team's value goes down playing with Kyrie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyle21121 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Lots of deals I don’t understand so far like what are Charlotte and Detroit doing? Going all on for the 8th seed? Good to see FVV back at a reasonable price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle21121 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 (edited) So in the east is it fair to say that these 6 teams are playoff locks: Toronto, Boston, Nets, Philly and Miami?

Kampfgeist Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 People acting like Charlotte is going to attract a bigger free agent than Hayward sometime in the near future.😂 He's a mid-upper tier free agent and that's the best they're going to sign and they simply HAVE to overpay to bring someone in. They tried to overpay Harrell and he turned them down to take less with the Lakers. What exactly do people expect them to sign the next couple years that would be better than Hayward? Giannis ain't comin'. I know the 3rd/4th year repercussions might be a drag but this year and next it's a big win for this team. This isn't like the NFL - cap space isn't rolling over to next year - so signing Hayward and stretching Batum has a net effect of -12M of their 19M cap space and they gave up -0- of their assets. If they don't move them this year, which I suspect they will, then Zeller and Rozier are another 34M coming off the books next year through expiration and trade. The Hornets cap space will be solid this year and next. If the team keeps Rozier, Graham and LaMelo for this season than Graham might be better off signing the 4 yr $54 max extension he could receive and that would be another big win for the Hornets. Rozier went 18 / 4.1 / 4.4 with 40.7% from 3 -- those are extremely solid #'s so there will be some market for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kampfgeist Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 I think the humorous part (most humorous part?) of the Hornets this year may be their small ball lineup. If LaMelo grows at all this season - our PG is going to be the tallest man in the lineup. LaMelo Ball 6'7" Rozier/Graham/Monk 6'1" - 6'3" Miles Bridges 6'7" Gordon Hayward 6'7" PJ Washington 6'7" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand your line of thinking but you are setting yourself up for being a constant 7-8 seed instead of a 9-11 seed in the east. Obviously you can’t go back and undo the moves made the previous few years and it sucks that went through such a long stretch of being really bad without any top guys to show for it. Getting the #3 pick in such a bad draft reminds me of Toronto finally getting the #1 pick and taking Bargnani. Charlotte will at least be somewhat competitive which for that fan base is great but when it’s over you likely won’t have much to show for it especially with this ownership/management group. 2 minutes ago, Leader said: How long is the Tampa move intended for? They saying? Any chance it becomes permanent? What? Probably a season unless this whole thing stays bad. There is a 0% chance it’s permanent.

Everyone on that team's value goes down playing with Kyrie The hate on Kyrie is extremely unfair. He didn’t want to play for LeBron in Cleveland rightfully so because it was Kyrie team due to LeBron leaving before Kyrie was drafted then LeBron decided to come back and call all the shots. Kyrie never wanted to go to Boston so is anyone shocked how all of that played out? I’m not. He wanted to go to Brooklyn to play for the Nets whom he was a fan of when he was a kid when they was in New Jersey. He wanted to play with KD and vice versa so it will work. I think the hate on Kyrie is similar to the hate on Jalen Ramsey and how people kept saying he was going to be a cancer in the locker room when the Rams traded for him. He was going to eventually pull stuff and want out. Well guess what? He is thriving in LA. He love his teammates, his teammates love him, he love LA and the Rams. So again the hate on Kyrie is unfair and WHEN it works I want to see what people say then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
