Hornets sign Ish Smith

[WOW!!]

Bargin  bench player shopping.. which we might have to do until Lamelo proves he's the type of star that other player want to play with... For cheap prices..

Really curious about the numbers for Donte 

He got roughly 12 mill per for 4 years…assuming you mean Devonte

It feels like the job Kup is doing is pretty amazing.  Jordan wont go near the luxury tax and if he is actually forcing Kup to draft certain players that is ridiculous.  I really hope that isn’t the case.

Solid sign but really surprised we didn't keep Monk when I see he signed for 1.7 next year with LA.  That is really cheap

i was glad to see he's being realistic. his upside in the league is being a catch and shoot specialist pressure release valve for the guys that are driving the interior. he's going to get an opportunity to make some big shots without having to create his own offense, and that's the best fit for him. he'll get his 17-20 minutes of burn with the 2nd unit and shoot as much as possible. 

this team is already adapting to how lamelo wants to play. they want to run the floor and bringing in Ish will allow them to do that with the 2nd unit as well or if lamelo just needs a blow.

I don't think he was ever happy here. Cliff and JB both had made it clear they weren't happy with him.

That will probably be a couple more years at least. Until then, bargain shopping and building through the draft is the right choice.

I think Jordan respects and likes Mitch enough to let him do things his way. That is night and day different than when Cho was the GM.

Maybe because we could see the writing on the wall.. Out of all the end of season interviews.. Monk and Cody both felt like 2 player who were leaving the team... They both felt dissatisfied with their play time and both felt undervalued...

Maybe. I can't imagine Monk didn't get at least 1 call offering more money than the Lakers. Think he's just trying to bet on himself.

Ish Smith deal is now official which means the roster is at 18 with 2 two-way players.

Either someone is getting waived or another trade is coming as the roster needs to be at 17 with 2 two-way players.

What I’m wondering is what we offered before we pulled the trigger on this trade

He just wants to be in LA…bet he washes out
