Kemba and Hornets agree to 4 years/$48 million extension

WTF

The market is evolving. Salaries are going up with the anticipation of the new cap.

This means the league is healthy. It's a good thing.

[cbarrier90]

For context, we are paying Lance 9 million and an All-NBA center 13 million.

Klay just got 4 years for 70!

Curry to Charlotte in 2 years and I'm all in!

Klay deserved it.

Klay deserved it.

He's a great 3 point shooter and all but that's all he does. Wack rebounding numbers and assists. I would take lance at 4 years 70 mill way before I took Klay. And the reality is we got lance for 3yr/27 mill which makes it a steal.

Comparing apple to orange tho. Both different players. They're good at what they do.

Lance without the antics would've got a much bigger deal. We got lucky bc he wanted to blow in LBJ's ear.

THIS!!!

There is a chance that someone would have offered Lance a max if he wouldn't have gotten ape poo crazy last year.

However, I'm a fan of his antics and I think he brings some swagger to the team.

Yup. I love the antics too.

His intensity sparked that comeback. Can't wait til he's 100% healthy and the team figures out how to play with him.

[chubs2496]

Y'all are missing the point I was making. I would take lance at 4yr/70 million everyday over Klay at that.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

I really like the foundation we have as a team right now.

- Kemba and Pargo are staples of the back court and I think Pargo's experience is underrated. Kemba even credited Pargo with calming his nerves. I like Roberts but I'm not quite sold on him yet, time will tell.

- Lance, Neal, and Hairston is solid depth at the two guard spot and when Neal is on he's a threat.

- MKG and Henderson make for a solid one-two punch at the small forward position. When Henderson gets more time in the gym (coming off injury), I think he could be a valuable bench player (his contract though...)

- Williams, Zeller, and Vonleh is legit depth at the power forward position. Zeller is miles ahead of where he was last year and in two years people are going to see why Vonleh was so highly touted.

- Here's our main problem, outside of Al we have no center. Maxiell is a solid player but at the end of the day he's a 3C and Biz is what he is, a defensive specialist.

Realistically we

- re-up Neal next year or sign someone and give Hairston one more year to grow.

- draft a small forward to replace Jeff Taylor

- and sign a legit back up center

What's awesome is that this teams core (Walker, Pargo Stephenson, Hairston, MKG, Zeller, Vonleh, and Al) is built for the long haul and Cho has done a good job of getting us out of cap hell and keeping us from going back. Not to mention every signing and trade Cho has made has been on point.

I seriously believe that the Hornets could be hosting the Larry O'Brien in the next 3-5 years.
