was listening to an interview with Sorenson who said we have 18 mill in cap space/

That led me to this article.

 

We're in position to add an excellent FA and be a real player next year.

Money Committed: $41,156,697

Contracts Expiring: Chris Douglas-Roberts (unrestricted), Jannero Pargo (unrestricted), Luke Ridnour (unrestricted), Anthony Tolliver (unrestricted), D.J. White (unrestricted)

Player Options: Josh McRoberts ($2,771,340)

Team Options: None

Non-Guaranteed Salaries: Jeffrey Taylor ($915,243, fully unguaranteed)

Potential Maximum Committed: $44,843,280 

Al Jefferson is really the only expensive player on this roster, as he checks in with a 2014-15 salary of $13.5 million. The next-highest figure is $6 million, and it belongs to Gerald Henderson. 

Thanks to the bargain-laden makeup of this roster, the CharlotteBobcats Hornets are in prime shape to make their first year with a new name all the more successful. Head coach Steve Clifford has already built a great defensive scheme during his one season in charge, and he'll likely have another tool to work with, seeing as Charlotte is becoming a more credible free-agency destination and has plenty of cap space. 

There's no way Jeffrey Taylor is going anywhere, injuries be damned, so the only question is whether Josh McRoberts chooses to stay. He fits in quite nicely with this Charlotte roster, but it would also be possible for him to make more money elsewhere. 

Regardless of McRoberts' decision, though, Charlotte has plenty of cap space to spend re-signing shooters like Luke Ridnour and bringing in fresh faces to help spread the court for Jefferson's work from the left block and the penetration of guards like Kemba Walker.

Pretty much sums up the quality of bleacher report articles.

you're right but putting melo in the line up with big al is not good defensively. Getting melo would mean getting rid of mkg and we need him for defense

Biz can concentrate on solely being a defender and nothing else. Henderson and Westbrook can protect the perimeter. Also, Al is a better defender than what people thought. Clifford will find defense.

      Is it too early to lock up Horn to a long term deal?

      By CRA · Posted

      he has barely suited up for 50% of our games.  It matters pending how much of our cap and resources go that way.  If he cost in the ballpark of a Surtain? No thank you.  Let someone else  And as far we know what happens when we let talent walk away or trade them…..that’s a mixed bag.   should we of paid Norman, Bradberry at CB? They probably had earned the right to be called better than Horn at that moment of the decision.  Do we regret that? Do we regret Star walking? Can take it back to Spoon.  Flip side is probably Peppers.

      Bryce Young what a crazy statement

      By frankw · Posted

      We need to get better in the redzone. And yes that is an issue that involves all the moving parts. Oline receivers QB and playcalling. But Bryce himself has to lead the charge on that or surely we could face another blowout in one of these upcoming games. Every team no matter how good they are is going to face an opponent that imposes their will on them and requires the same in response. Those are the games where we have got to capitalize on drives. Honestly I get the sense that the Chiefs on some level overlooked us.  So while I am pleased we were as competitive as we were it certainly remains to be seen if this was the beginning for something new or just an anomaly. I think that's a perfectly fair take at this juncture.

      WR Diontae Johnson to Ravens

      By CarolinaRideorDie · Posted

      He is a diva, even with Baltimore winning, he will cry and pout and ask to be traded. He cares about his numbers and stats for his next contract. Ironically, his best chance to showcase his ability was with us, now he is just an afterthought.
