Hornets Current Salary Situation

Under Contract (Estimates)

Walker $12 million, MKG $13 million, Hawes $6.3 million, Zeller $5.3 million, Lamb $6.5 million, Kaminsky $2.7 million, Daniels $1.2 million, Harrison $874,000, Belinelli $6.3 million

Total Committed: $56 million

Cap Holds (Estimates)

Jefferson $20 million, Batum $19.6 million, Lee $10 million, Williams $9 million, Lin $ 2.5 million, Gutierrez $980,000, Hansbrough $980,000

Total Salary + Cap Holds: $120 million

________________________________________________

Should be interesting to see what we do with our own FAs. I foresee us being more active in the trade department than the free agency market. I also see a domino coming from the Belinelli trade.

If Batum signs elsewhere, it's going to be wide open our part. I think we're set on trying to keep our core in tact but if Batum goes, who knows what happens?

Prediction on our own FAs:  We sign Batum and Williams. I think we renounce Jefferson (no brainer), Lee, Lin, Guiterrrez, and Hansbrough. We'll definitely have to renounce to clear space for the Belinelli trade.

Any bold, baseless predictions? I've got one, we sign Malcom Delaney.

So Bobby Marks is saying that Batum's salary starts at $20 million his first year, which is not that much different from his cap hold.

Although it looks like were only saving about $1 million, we won't sign Batum until we've finished with all their dealings in FA. That way his cap hold of $19 million is on the books bot $20.

It pisses me off to no end that we're somehow cap strapped with a dogshit team like this, yet Cleveland has what they have. The NBA is fuging stupid.

If we renounce all the remaining cap hold we are at around 30 million in cap space. We have room.

Basically what I've been expecting. We needed to target our own FAs first but it was going to be near impossible to lure Lin away from the money + starting job.

We should renounce all of our FAs left but keep the $9 million hold of Marvin.

Walker $12 million, MKG $13 million, Hawes $6.3 million, Zeller $5.3 million, Lamb $6.5 million, Kaminsky $2.7 million, Daniels $1.2 million, Harrison $874,000, Belinelli $6.3 million= $56 million 

+ Batum's cap hold of $19 million = $75 million 

+ Marvin's cap hold of $9 million = $84 million

That's 11 players with ~$10 million to spare. This makes me think we are going to be active in trade talks. 

Still need a Center and back up PG

I would drop Marvin and let Kaminsky start at PF. Then you have money to fill Center and back up PG. Also, still be looking to trade Lamb or Hawes.

So if we renounced Marvin, we'd sitting around $75 million with about $19 million to spend.

The question becomes would you rather:

Have Marvin + $10 million to spend on a C

Lose Marvin + $19 million to spend on a C and PG

Regardless, still think we need to make some moves in the trade market to clear space. My realistic center preference is Mahinmi. Not sure $10 million is enough for him.

Well center and back up point guard should be the top priorities.

Wouldn't like the idea of signing I'm of anything over the $12.25 million we can offer with the Early Bird. By doing so, we hold on to his $9 million cap hold and have some money to spend. Once we go over that $12.25 we are dipping into cap space and aren't using his EBR.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      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.
