I hope Mitch can appeal to Terry and Devonte and Malik to sign team friendly deals to remain Hornets. I'd like to see everybody come back now that we know what we are. Had they prepared to take the east, knowing what they know now, they could have challenged for it. They need to try to stay together at least another season or two.

I don't see those guys doing team friendly deals. All are young and will want to make as much as they can especially since some team will overpay for one or more of them. Terry might decide to go ring chasing too.

I just don't see us keeping all three.  And we need a legit center in the worst way, I hope that's where Mitch spends some money.

Team friendly doesn't mean they won't get paid. IF Jordan thinks he's finally got something here he can pay guys. 4th seed was a possibility just this year. Next year having played together longer they could be a contender. This is lighting in a bottle, they were supposed to collapse without all those key starters yet they still have enough to keep winning. It's time we started trying to keep "stars" here and building teams like this one instead of being the forever 8th seed. It has to start now. Maybe Mitch can pull it off.

You can forget about monk signing any kind of team friendly deal

The Hornets aren't going to give all three big contracts since they are all guards. You have Miles and PJ coming up in the next year or two as well. Plus whoever at center. And then Hayward's big contract. There is only so much money they can pay without going into the tax and MJ won't pay the tax for a non contending team. He might not be willing to pay it for a contending team.

Keep Monk over Terry and Graham. 

Rozier is one of the best guards in the league

monk nowhere near the player he is

[Captain Morgan]

well, Miles came to play.   He is really turning into something.

[Scott12345]

Bucks are just better than us...and their guy is all that

need to be at full strength to beat them

[Scott12345]

Noticed rozier off the court quickly after the game

he looked pissed, probably at his own play

liked it

[MechaZain]

If we can get a nice center this squad will be contenders. Got LaMelo ball leading this breakneck offense and Biz can't catch a pass in the paint to save his life.

Hornets gettin blown out by the Celtics worse than they blew out the Celtics a few days ago.

They've made a game of it in the third. Hopefully they can keep it up and pull out a win.
