Boozer will still make 16mil next season in all.... so he don't care.

Boozer didn't sign Marvin Williams to $7M... so he didn't make that mistake. 

 

If the Hornets won't be paying Boozer all of that $16M, then nothing you just said supplants what I did.

Glad that's sarcasm. Who cares what he makes if we can still land Boozer & Stephenson. You can't carry over unused salary. He'll be one of the best back up Forwards in the league.

 

Everyone should care. If he was getting paid around what Kris Humphires is making... which he clearly should have been... the Hornets wouldn't be cutting it as close right now.

 

You all's refusal to acknowledge that will never change the fact of it. $7M for Williams was dumb.

I am going to E! Headquarters and pitching a Stephenson, PJ and Hardy reality show if this happens!!

 

If they have concerns about PJ and Stephenson being on the team together, they should still sign Stephenson, who is the better player and has proven that he can play in the NBA, and then decide what they need to do with PJ, who doesn't have to be on the team next season. 

 

Lance > PJ (if you had to choose one).

As long as we get the best player on the board, who cares what Marvin is making. Not like we don't have any expirings next season and it's only for two years.

Come on, man. We are officially in pursuit of the guy you swore with these moves we were never getting, and now that we have a real shot at him, you're just looking for a reason to continue being a pessimist.

It's done.  Let it go...

 

Think about it like this...  If he accepted our offer of 7 mil per and he was talking to multiple teams, odds are they were offering somewhere in the same ballpark and we nudged them out for his services.

 

So what...  It's over with.

If we do end up signing Lance this was an incredible move by Cho and company. Basically waited until the entire market dried up and we are the only ones who could conceivably pay for him and now we can get him to accept less year or money then in the beginning of the FA period. Risky but could be brilliant.

If they did that just to give Marvin Williams $7M then it's still a fail.

$7 mil probably is a slight overpayment for Williams (I think 2yrs/11mil would have been fair) considering what guys like Booker and Humphries got.

However, Williams salary actually decreased upon signing with Charlotte. He was on a 5X$7.5 before his contract expired this year.

If he puts up12/5 as a starter or 8/4 as a backup I'll be perfectly fine with him.

Really? Still stuck on this? I am so surprised you are not a GM with your expertise and the fact that you could do no wrong. 

 

The fact is if Lance signs and with all of the other signings/draft picks the Charlotte Hornets will have had a very good borderline great offseason

      Sometimes the deal you don’t make is the BEST DEAL…. LOL @ Giants

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I don't think it's necessarily selfless to make that trade. I think it's all in how you plan and if you can objectively view the player. You know you're going to have a new coach and be taking a QB in the draft. Whether or not he wanted to admit it, we were going to be beginning a rebuild with a new offense and new defense. Depending on the coach, Burns may not have even been a good fit for the scheme that coach wanted to run.  So, if you're not 1st, you're going to need to trade up. Burns likely is going to want in the 30m per year range. While an effective pass rusher, he was never a complete DE. He wasn't a JJ, TJ, Bosa, or Garrett. He was more Reddick, and while good, never going to be in that top tier contract caliber.  So the question becomes, knowing that you need a QB to go with a new coach, is it better to have your  23, 24 and 25' 1sts  extra 24 and 25 1sts an extra 23'2nd  and 30m aav of future contract cap space to get a QB and edge rusher  Or your 23, 24 and 25 1sts and a good, but not elite DE on an elite tier contract.  6 picks and available 30m AAV in cap space vs 3 picks and 0 extra cap space to get a QB and a good, not great, DE.  To me that is a simple answer and frankly one that could potentially save my job. You have to have vision and be able to recognize value. Fitts over valued Burns like many fans did. I think ultimately what cost him his job was 3 years of not being able to value players correctly. We saw it twice in the draft in 2 separate years when he panicked and couldn't read the draft. DJ Johnson and Matt Corral picks specifically come to mind.  I don't think it was about being selfless as much as being a strategist. Neither Rhule nor Fitts never struck me as very strategic guys. I think they were more let's throw poo at the wall and see what sticks. Unfortunately for the fans, none of it stuck, but it still all stunk.

      The issue is the formula is secret, and it incorporates runs... So... Yup, it does. Same with PFF (which isn't quite as secret). But when it doesn't - like on Sunday - it's often to hilarious results. PFF is more reliable I think at matching my 'eye' test.
