I was curious about the outlook of our team because I have been very optimistic about our team and wanted to take a glance at our new Hornets and first off a few things have stuck out. Great job to Cho and MJ. We are building our team the right way finally!!

 

Ok so I optioned out Mcbob because I think he will and I gave Kemba 10m after next year. I hope he gets $8m but for arguments sake I raised it up. 

 

Basically what we have right now is the chance for a Max player or several good role players. I am excited to see us have more than $25m available after the draft to pick up some key guys. 

 

Who else looks at this and is very excited?? I never have thought we would be able to get a MAX guy in CLT but looking at the numbers above, we have a very attractive team to try to court a big name guy. And if we stay the course and go after an above average shooting guard I would be happy with that too! 

 

I love this team and am glad they are finally winning. It's fun basketball!

 

PS Sorry I had the above in a spreadsheet and it got all screwed up

Honestly, all we really need are two players. A legit starting SG and a legit starting SF. Hendo and MKG, are role type bench players. Would be great on the second team. If we can upgrade those two positions, give Kemba an awesome backup PG and possibly add a good center to back up Al, we could easily be a top 3 team in the east really fast. Have to make the right moves. I think with our current team and players like Al, and Kemba, also with the Hornets coming back and MJ we will be very attractive to good FAs now. I am excited to see what kind of team we can have for our first year as the Hornets again.

Kevin Love is #1 on my wish list

 

(Won't likely happen, but I said the same about getting Big Al so... who knows)

[Panther_Brotherhood]

I think Love is a LA lock.

 

I agree though, this team's future is extremely bright.  This seasons been pretty fun

 

Can't wait to see what happens the rest of the season and playoffs.  Then next year is a huge year.  Hornets name change, potentially bringing in another great player, seeing the development of players like Zeller and Kemba.

 

Enjoy the ride while it last

That would be insane if we landed Love

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

This team has been built solidly and they have learned to not throw out stupid contracts ever since giving TNT that dumb extension.

[teeray]

I think Love is a LA lock.

 

 

 

Why would a guy frustrated by not winning go to the Lakers?  I know they will get Kobe back eventually but is he going to be the old Kobe?  Probably not.  The Lakers are terrible and even with the 36 year old, Achilles blown, version of Kobe they have a ways to go.

 

Unless you meant the Clippers but he probably doesn't want to play behind Blake Griffin.

 

If he comes to Charlotte we will probably be right up there with Miami and Indiana in the East.  And even that is assuming everyone stays in Miami.

[yasuhara2241]

I know everybody is down on MKG and I truly hate his offense however we can't have 5 scorers on offense and no defensive stopper. I think MKG is a true team complement if we can get our own Bradley Beal type player

Won't let me start a new thread, but anybody that wants to buy single game playoff tickets early can use the following code until Monday morning at 9:59AM I think. Promo code is CURPPH

In the realm of reality where Lebron or Carmelo would not come to Charlotte, 4 guys i think would be ideal free agent pickups to start at SF for us:

- Rudy Gay (Player Option)

- Luol Deng

- Gordon Hayward

- Chandler Parsons

- Lance Stephenson (I know he is a PG for indiana, but he has size and ability to play the 3)

 

Then sign one or 2 more complimentary pieces on the cheap (defenders & shooters)

- McBob

- James Johnson

- Jordan Crawford

 

[jdpanther5]

Stephenson plays SG, not PG, and I do think we possibly make a run at him but it'd be as a 2-guard.

Just no to Gay, there's a reason why he's on his third team in the last two years. Hell, Toronto went from lottery to the third seed after trading him, and Sac is basically the same since acquiring him.

Do not want Gay. He is a good individual player, and that's it. No team with him on it will do much unless they have an elite team around him. I'd much rather have Parsons or Hayward.

[GamecockSmitty4]

I really hope we stay away from Evan Turner and Rudy Gay.

 

Gordon Hayward is my man. I don't mind overpaying because he fits PERFECTLY between Kemba and MKG.

[Herbert The Love Bug]

All I know is we are definitely going to go hard after top teir free agents again this year. Cho has said that several times. I just can't to see who it is we land
