Hornets have limited interest in Jeremy Lin


TANTRIC-NINJA

The article is totall speculation...may even be a sub Bleacher report type site...I just posted it bc it had Bobcats mentioned, some tweets and since it will be some time before the season..good to get angry about.

If anyone wants to post other great Kemba highlights then I say Do This!

I personally wouldn't want to see us ditch Kemba for Lin. I just don't see it as an upgrade, I think Kemba has the higher ceiling. I suppose Lin weighs in with a couple more assists, but I'd rather have Kemba in the team. Wuth some work Kemba should be able to weigh in some more assists.

Plus based on current contracts no way would I want to see us take on Lin's. I'd rather see us keep Kemba.

This is silly.  Not happening.  Articles from people who probably know little about the Bobcats.  PG is a spot that we're great at, Kemba/Sessions is a good combo, we could use a 3rd PG for depth but it'll be a no namer or a cheap signing.

The ONLY capacity Id want Lin is as a sixth man backup 1&2 guard but not on his current contract. Houston would have to add in a couple first rounders to make this even remotely something that should be considered. So a package of Lin a 2014 & 2016 unprotected 1s for Sessions and Hayward with the knowledge that Lin is ok as a 6th man would be a palatable deal for the Hornets but no way Houston does that deal.

They'd have to take on Gordon's salary also I believe.

Hope we don't do anything stupid..... like adding Jeremy Lin for example

Get ready it's coming, watch MJ go full retard and trade Kemba for Lin/late 1rd pick.

 

 

Then Houston will win the championship with Kemba as their starting pg.

They can have Gordon he doesn't seem to want to be here anyway.

I think Lins cap hit is only like 5-8 mill this year though I think its next season it would rape us because the poison pill contract Houston gave him. If it is only 5-8 then Hayward and Sessions should equal out(unless I've completely missremembered their cap numbers which is possible)

Ben Gordon's contract is worth more to the Hornets than Lin.

Gordon coming off the cap next season is worth a 14 million per season free agent!

 

 

Not really, they have to resign Kemba, and they'll probably give Biz an offer in the 4-5 million range. If they give Hendo a contract in the 8 million range then all that money's spent before it's even gone. Plus if the Hornet's have 3 picks in the first round that's like another 8 million to sign those guys.

    • The reality though is that there just isn't a traditional #1 pick type of player in this draft to begin with. He might have been below Marvin last year, but I don't think he'd have been below Nabers. And if you think he disappears in some college games, then you're only looking at the box scores, I guarantee you not a single NFL GM will say he disappears in games when watching the tape. Arizona's offense is a MESS this year, the new coaching staff is beyond bad and the fanbase is screaming for them all to be fired, our OL is awful, our QB is playing like utter garbage, and we don't have another weapon to attract any defensive attention.  Teams are double and triple teaming him on almost every snap, and when combined with the OL and QB issues, it's just impossible to get him the ball sometimes.  And even when our QB forces the pass to him, half the time it's not even catchable given how poor he's been playing. And even despite all that, he's still 3rd in the nation in yards. I've also seen more WR rankings having Burden over Hunter than I have seen Hunter over T-Mac.  If we had a true outside #1 WR, then taking someone like Hunter (or Burden) instead of T-Mac would make more sense as if Hunter were to play WR in the NFL, he'd more likely be used a slot guy like Godwin or Kupp.   There's a reason most mocks/analysts who don't list Hunter as a CB/WR (or just Athlete) list him as a CB.  Because it's his better position and the side of the ball he's more likely to play in the NFL, partially due to his wire thin frame, I don't see him holding up long term as a WR.
    • This was a good breakdown from Daniels.  Last year has had a lasting impact on Young. He still isn't getting the time needed from the OL - the OL we have is made to establish the run and for the run to be in play.  We get behind and have to throw all game we are doomed with this O-line. His receivers have to catch the ball when he makes a good throw to them, he can't have them dropping his good passes. Why are we running 4 slants all toward the same direction?  Why a triple option on 4th and 1? That's on the coaches. Bryce gets hurried and starts slinging the ball where it shouldn't be thrown, more study and recognition from him are needed.  Bryce doesn't step up in the pocket and throws too soon and unbalanced.  He over and under throws the ball because of it.  That's on him.  If the pocket isn't there and he can't get his base set he needs to check down or "live to fight another day." He has been thrown to the wolves and has lost his confidence.  This team doesn't have much, if any, talent and it's a cluster.  I think he can still be an NFL QB.  Maybe not a QB1 in the short term, but if he has a chance with better coaching and personnel he may be better than we are giving him credit for. I think we ruined him last year and have not fixed anything to help him this year.  If we can't run or get way behind all NFL defenses are coming after him.  Dalton has more respect and defenses didn't always sell out to get to him because he'd hit a quick slant, screen, or check down because he has the experience to know what's coming and what to do. Just my 2 cents.
    • All depends on who the backup is. Josh Allen probably would have been benched too if there were better backups than Matt Barkley and Nate peterman.
