Hornets Now Players For Deng


Recommended Posts

Not really interested in Deng. I'd prefer Lance like a lot of you would if we HAVE to spend the money, but I am concerned about the chemistry issue. Deng wouldn't be a bad 2 yr contract rental to help be a good mentor for a player like PJ. 

 

Unfortunately in this offseason we lost out on the two guys I really wanted, Livingston & Hayward. 

 

So now my secondary FA wishlist is basically not spending our cap space.

PG: DJ or Hinrich

SF,PF: Marvin Williams (I'm not a UNC fan, but think he would be a good complementary piece) 

 

- I'd also explore the trade front with the Cavs for Waiters.

yeah my wish list now is:

 

1. Lance

2. Waiters (trade)

3. Jameer Nelson

4. Loul Deng

5. Marvin Williams

Forgot all about Jameer! I'd take him over Hinrich and probably over DJ as well. He would help out Kemba a lot. 

 

Also my only concern with Lance is almost all of his buckets are on 1 on 1 situations. I'd just be concerned that he would change the dynamic of the offense and don't know how well he would adjust to our Al-fense. 

 

I agree on your 2-5 players.

You are worried about chemistry but weren't there reports that one of the issues in Cleveland last season was Waiters' attitude.

ETA: never mind I misread your post

    • Where did I once say we should draft him because he's a projected Top 5 pick?   That's one of my many problems with you, your reading comprehension skills are very poor (and/or you just don't care to use your brain, one of the two).  I solely used that to point out that me pushing T-Mac isn't some absurd homerism, that at least I'm pushing someone who is deserving of a Top 5 draft pick. And despite me explaining it to you numerous times, you still seem to not grasp how QB's get placed in mock drafts vs draft grades.  They are treated entirely different in mock drafts to any other position, because of how teams generally treat them in the draft because of how important the position is. Literally any other position except QB, mock drafts generally follow draft grades with some team needs factored in.  But with QB's, draft grades are generally disregarded and they ALWAYS put a few QB's at the very top of the draft, because that's just usually what happens.  The exact same thing happened in 2022 with guys like Pickett and Willis widely being Top 10 picks in mock drafts, only for Pickett to fall to what, around 20?, and Willis going in the 2nd round (and even being the 3rd QB if I remember correctly too). The overwhelming majority of draft experts are saying there isn't a high first round grade on these QB's, but they still get mocked there because they're trying to predict how the draft will actually go. That's been my point the entire time, reaching for a QB in a bad QB draft when you have a roster as depleted of talent as ours, does not tend to work out well. And I've never said I'm not open to other players, I've very explicitly said that if a QB or DE stands out come draft time, I'm open to that discussion.  That I'd be open to Hunter as a CB but I prefer a WR over a CB at the top of the draft.  But we're also not talking about the 15th pick here where there could realistically be all sorts of possible picks to discuss.  With the first pick, there really would only be a small handful of options, T-Mac is head and shoulders above any other given our current roster and state of the franchise in general.
    • TMac is good, but he isn't pick 1 on a WR good.  Last year he would be below Nabers and Williams.  This year you could argue Hunter is the better WR.  WR at 1 better be a Calvin Johnson not a WR that disappears some games in college...
    • So because he's a projected top 5 pick he's should be the guy we draft.   Yet you say the other 2 QBs who are projected top 5 picks are not worth it because you think they aren't that good.   That's my problem with you. You just seem to only care about Tmac. I have yet to see you suggest anyone outside of Tmac. At least I'm open to other prospects.
