Hornets Are Interested In McDermott At #9?

[teeray]

You have to match contracts in the NBA. Plus AA isn't worth a top 10 pick in this draft at 29 years old. Their is no way we trade a pick and a player for AA straight up.

You don't have to match contracts if you have the cap space for the contract you are receiving

So if AA is making 7 mill we wouldn't have to trade a player

Lets get this out of the Way: AA has a player option for 2015, he's going to opt out. After that it's going to cost 9-10m a season for him. 

 

Is it worth the 9th overall pick for what could be a one year rental of Aaron Affalo?

 

 

The answer to that question is no, it's not worth it. 

[WOW!!]

I did say that AA isn't worth a top 10 pick straight up.

A lot of teams wanted to trade for Afflalo at the deadline this year, but nobody got a deal done because Orlando was reportedly asking for 2 1st round picks

 

If they had a realistic asking price, he would have been traded by now.  24 + Henderson wont get it done (because why would they want to pay Hendo for 2 years), so unless the 9th pick is involved I dont see this trade happening

Would a trade based around 9+24 for AA and 12 be an option?

Only if Orlando really likes a guy at 9 that wont last until 12.  I'm not sure who that would be, the great prospects drop off around 6 and you're left with a bunch of good players

And would you make that trade for the Hornets?

Sure, you can still pick up a SG at 12 plus you get a nice vet

I think Stauskas could be a good starter year one, and future star.

 

Hahaha. "Nostalgia" is a helluva drug. He's not going to be "Rex Chapman," so let it go.

I'm sure we like a few guys a lot. No big deal. Of course we are gonna be interested in the best shooters. Staus and mcbuckets included. I doubt we take him. But it would interest me seeing how he does in the nba.

I think he either looks great or busts. No in between

[carpanfan96]

It would be the worst draft pick in Bobcat/hornets history.

I dont want anything to do with McBuckets.

If he there at 24 draft him...at 9 no way.
