Al Jefferson

Gordon Hayward would fill that SG/SF role.

 

True, maybe Lance Stephenson too but I don't know if either of those guys make it to FA.   I would hope at least one would. 

[FourthWard]

It's going to be tough to get a decent FA to come here, but having Big Al will only help.  I believe he signed a 3 yr deal but has a player option on the 3rd year, so he could choose to leave after 2.  Would it be worth it to pay Antawn Jamison and Vince Carter the vet minimum to reunite in Charlotte?  I would like to see it and I bet at least Jamison would be down considering he grew up in Charlotte with the Hornets.

Wiggins Parker Embiid plus 2 more 1st rounders from this class wouldn't?

 

It sounds intriguing but these are soon to be rookies we're talking about here.

 

I dont think you're going to be able to sell rookies to top notch free agents.

 

Jefferson atm is better than anyone coming out. He's our only hope at landing a legitimate free agent this offseason (Hayward).

[Rise of The Hive]

I think it was the Suns who are going to make an unmatchable offer to Hayward. I don't think we should go there.

[Guest Dark Knight]

Hayward isn't even that good.

Young talent will attract free agents. Plus the even more or just as important thing, without al we could offer some big contracts

Do the Cats have enough to offer a max contract this summer? 

[Hammerin'Cameron34]

35 and 11 for Al yet another huge game. Does this guy figure to stick out the Hornets re brand or is he gone to a contender? You'd think he could make a lot of teams on the brink of contenders, truly championship contenders.

He as an opt-out clause after next season but I would be surprised if he wanted to leave given the way he has fit in and the success he is having.

 

While trying to look up his contract detials I came across this interesting fact:  "Jefferson and Dwight Howard are the only centers in the league to average at least 17 points and nine rebounds in each of the last six seasons."

 

The man should be an All-Star.  It's amazing that in all of his years he hasn't made it once.

 

When Kemba went down it's like something went off with him, like he wasn't going to let the team start sinking.

Just an easy 40 18 night tonight.

No biggie. :O

[ItsPantone278]

If only we could play the Lakers every night.

[teeray]

They should just start referring to this team as " Big Al and the Scrub Club"

[WOW!!]

I don't know what Chuck is talking about but Imo you keep MKG (who is pretty much the catalyst for the defense) and find a better scorer at 2 guard. A better scorer and 3 point shooter at 2 guard will open things up for every body.

Yes, they could sign LBJ if he wanted to come to Charlotte.

 

The tax threshold for next year is $71 million, the Cats are currently on on the book for $40 million next year.
