Hayward, Monroe, Love All Options Hornets Look To Explore

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

I'd do the sign and trade because it will allow us to get rid of Hendo as well.

Here are the options (regarding Hayward)

1) See if Utah would be interested in a a Hendeo and pick 24 for Hayward at (5yrs/60 million). Being that Hendo's deal was on the books for $6 million it's pretty much like we are paying $7 mill a year for the next 2 years (until Hendo's contract is up. That still leaves us with $13M to spend in free agency.

2. Offer Hayward a 5yr/60 million dollar contract and hope they don't match.

3. Offer a max.

If we could get a discount on Hayward AND make sure Hendo never sees a Hornet jersey I say goodbye to #24.

When does Free Agency Start?  Day after the last game I would guess.  Cannot find a concreate date. 

 

I would love to take the Dave Gettleman approach to drafting. 

 

I wish we could fill our SG and shooting needs with free agency then draft BPA at 9.

I think out of the three i would want Kevin Love and Greg Monroe over Gordon Hayward. Don't get me wrong Gordon Hayward is a decent player but in order for this team to be a legitimate threat we need to look more at Kevin Love and Greg Monroe.

Free agency is after the draft in the NBA. Starts July 1st, first sign date is the 10th.

Yeah in the NBA the draft shapes what you do in free agency and in trades.

I'd do that in a heartbeat if Love will sign. That's a lot of pieces to give up, but they're not very good pieces (right now). Maybe try to swap out 24 for 45 and Neal for Hendo. I'm doing some quick math (which I'm not very good at) on the salary cap (which I know nothing about) but it looks to me like we'd still have $12-15M to spend with Love's max deal.

Whatever you do you HAVE to keep mkg if you get Love. Between Love and Al you have about 27% of one defender so mkg has to be there to cover their asses.

Would anyone settle for this line up:

PG: none

SG: Gary Neal

SF: Jeff Taylor

PF: Kevin Love

C: Al Jefferson

That's probably a no7 or 8 seed at best

[Rise of The Hive]

We would have to give up too much to rent Love.

The Suns will reportedly throw a deal at Hayward that he can't turn down.

Maybe we can land Monroe.

[CPF4LIFE]

Wow Hayward wants that much money?! I would rather just take my chances with a draft pick. Dude is not that good.
