Hornets willing to part with #9 for Afflalo

[MCC]

The man is 28.

He'll be 29 when the season starts. I rounded up.

Yea, bc it's the NBA now, not college.

So what lol

That college team was full of NBA talent. MKG could have easily deferred to Davis, Miller, Lamb, Jones, Teague etc... but no he decided to shoot jumpers, attack the rim, and get to the hole.

Now he's on an NBA team that desperately needs him to be the player that he was at UK but instead he defers to Gerald Henderson. That screams of a confidence issue.

Here is a quote from SI on MKG's game during a breakdown of the 2012 National Championship game.

If there is a knock on Gilchrist, it's that he seems to have some confidence issues from time to time.

I hate criticizing players in their late 20s now that I'm 30.

[Omega Atrocity]

Why does him being almost 30 even matter, do is Big Al. He isn't an NFL RB, players can play well into their 30s.

Big al has put big seasons throughout his career. Affalo hasn't. Lebron is the same age as big al. I would definitely take Lebron. Now if affalo was 23 I would do this trade in a heartbeat.

I wasn't criticizing him for being 30, he would obviously make our team better, BUT I'd much rather have a player who is in their early 20s with much higher potential.... why is that so hard to understand?

I hope we have dodged this one.

For those non NBA affluent folks, how is Afflalo regarded in terms of star-pwr? Is he a top 5-10 talent?

not even close. Not even capable of being the first or second option on THIS team

He is top 8 for the SG position. Leaps and bounds better than anything on our roster.

Honestly though, talent at the 2 spot has been lacking in the nba for a while now.

Why you would ask a person that isn't a fan of the NBA their opinion of a player is beyond me.

You could probably ask the same person about Al Jefferson and they would have no idea who he is.

I don't think Kemba is getting 10-12. He's more in the range of 8-10. If he wants more, then see ya.

Before last season SI had him rated 11th among PG's in a tie for 10th with Irving. He's going to get a top level PG type contract in the 10-12+ range.

Got to say I agree with Carolina-Chuck on Kemba's contract. I think he will be in the same paid grade as Jeff Teague and Brandon Knight [$8 million per season]. If you look at Teague's stats from last season he had a better FG, 3P, FT, APG and PPG on less minutes than Kemba [Teague averaged 3.6 mins less than Walker]. For me, I don't think Kemba should get another 2-4 million or more than the likes of Teague.
