Build Your 2014 Charlotte Hornets

[chknwing]

I mean lets face it, we suck at drafting but rock at trading. Why not go with our strength.

[Blitzenkopf]

Free Agency: Greg Monroe/Trevor Ariza OR Gordon Hayward

Hayward is a solid player who would instantly improve our team. He adds that offensive spark we need and is decent defensively. Would shine with the Hornets.

Monroe is a beast but we probably won't sign him due to McBob and Zeller. Ariza is a solid player.

Draft:

Number 9:

Stauskas: if we don't sign Hayward this is our guy. Can shoot the lights out of the ball and could end up being a better JJ Reddick.

Other possibilities: Mcbuckets has great offensive game but who knows if it will transfer to the nba. There also may be a player who slides such as Randle, Vonleh(highly unlikely), Garden(doubt he goes past 8), or Smart. The Hornets should definitely look into it if one of these guys falls.

24: Depending on who we take at 9

Stauskas: Shabazz Napier would be a really solid pick and we could have a full husky point guard core.

Other: PJ Hairston is an offensive monster with huge upside but has character concerns. Probably doesn't fall this far. Cleanthony Early is a really good player who can put the ball in the net and we desperately need shooters.

45: Thanasis Atetokoumpo. If he can be anywhere near his brother this pick has great value

Line up:

PG: Kemba/Napier

SG/ Stauskas/Hendo

SF:MKG/Early/Atetokoumpo

PF: McRoberts/Zeller

C: Big Al/Biyombo

Solid and young team who could maybe make a good run in the playoffs

[Blitzenkopf]

Forgot to add the Free agents

Kemba/Napier

Hayward/Stauskas/Hendo

MKG/Hendo/Early

McRoberts/Zeller

Jefferson/Biyombo

We would finally have 3 point threats and Big All would have breathing room. That bench is super solid as well. Henderson could be a great 6th man.

Pick up Wilbekin to be the third point guard and I'm all about that first roster. You probably couldn't draw up a better offseason even though I'd probably draft Hairston at 24 and move Taylor to SF.

I really like the offseason though.

Well done.

I would have but I really dont think Hairston will be around at #24.

Ahh okay.

Saric won't come over unless he's a top ten pick. So trading back to pick him up doesn't accomplish much. Team would have to stay put at 9 to get him over here at all.

[carpanfan96]

Draft Saric at 9

Draft Hairston at 24 (recent mocks have him falling to us there) 

Jordan Clarkson at 45

Sign Stephenson and Hinrich as FA's.

 

 

Roster - 

 

Walker/Hinrich/Clarkson

Stephenson/Hairston

MKG/Taylor/CDR

Zeller/Saric/Tolliver

Jefferson/Biyombo

 

 

That team minus Jefferson and Biyombo would be able to get out and run on anyone.

In no way do I see the hornets giving up on Zeller after one year unless he is traded for a big time player like Love. Also that team outside mkg would be godawful defensively.
