Cody Zeller & Hornets discussing Contract Extension

[JccOldTime23]

Cody is a key part of our rotation. I thought he showed great improvement last year and he's looked pretty good so far this year. I don't want him as the starting C, but he's a good 6th or 7th man. I like it.

Pretty fair deal

[yasuhara2241]

Hornets and Cho have done a great job signing all of our players under the current market value. Cody at that price is extremely good value. He has grown as a player every year. If we didn't sign him look at our options.

Next Offseason: No Hibbert bird rights so probably one year rental similar to Lin. About a $16m cap hold on Cody. Cody would probably get an offer sheet to $16k+ from a desperate team and then we say no. Oh and then any semi-good free agent centers are gone. We would probably somehow end up with a Plumee for like $12m a year and cry ourselves to sleep.

Good move Hornets!

Cody is one of those guys you want on your team, not as a starter but as someone off the bench who brings energy and effort. Players like that are important to have, they make those little non boxscore plays that can rally a team on a back to back by getting them pumped up. I will say the deal is for a lot of money but in the new NBA it's basically pocket change so I can't get mad about it.

omg what an absolute steal of a deal for the hornets

This deal was less than his cap hold, lol at anyone that could say this is a bad deal. Gorgi Dieng got $2 million per more. He would've gotten an absolutely unbelievable offer sheet this summer. Even if you don't like him as a player, this makes him a pretty good trade asset as well.

He's improving every year.

I never got the Zeller hate other than the fact we drafted him so high.  Dude is a solid player, great energy guy and seems to get a little better every year.

Glad to still have him on the team.

Only morons don't like him for this. That draft was absolutely horrific, Anthony Bennett was drafted number one overall somehow.
