2016 Free Agency Discussions

[My Goodness My Guinness]

So I haven't kept up with free agent discussions. Are the Hornets not interested in re-signing Courtney Lee? The dude was a heck of a good player and led the team in minutes towards the end of the season. Is his price too high?

I would love him to keep him too but he's probably out of their price range. If I had to bet, he'll probably get close to $13-15 million a year.

Marvin was pretty huge for us last year. It may be a case of him playing hard in a contract year or it may be a case of a player taking a step forward with their game and becoming comfortable within the system. I'm willing to give Big Marv a chance to show his true colors this season. I do agree though that it shouldn't be for a ridiculous price tag such as the ones ESPN are speculating.

I tend to think he was getting used to the system and not turning on a switch because it was a contract year. He's underrated on defense and has all the intangibles that you look for in a teammate. 

Would love to get him on that Early Bird exception "max."

Anything over 10 million a year is too much in my opinion. I'll leave it at that.

At this moment I'd give the Hornets a B- and the Hurricanes an A+

We better at least meet with Howard. No reason not to.

Hawks sign Dwight Howard to 3 year deal worth 70.5 million

[topher mcg]

Dwight signed with hawks - 3 years/$70.5m.... compared to some contracts that have been thrown around today, that one seems relatively good for the hawks. looks like horford is on his way out of atlanta with that signing - on his way to boston?

OKC is also a potential landing spot
