| If we don't make a Shinn/Bower-type signing... Posted by Broski and actually make progress in FA this offseason (whether its one huge signing or a couple medium signings), this team could be set to make a splash in the coming years.  on 1/17 at 9:48 pmSons, we have a young core and money to spend. I'm excited. This post was edited on 1/17 at 10:07 pm Reply • Back to Top |
| I'm fine with the team we have right now. Just roll with it. Maybe Pick up a decent shooter at SF and this team is set. Reply • Back to Top |
| I so agree with this. Avoiding taking bad contracts that are not expiring (can those be bad?) this season and making at reasonable use of our cap space either this season or this and next (the `future' need to be `now' then), then we'll be on course to have the best Hornets team in history, I think. All about Davis. Reply • Back to Top |
| Those years and bone/bald-headed decisions are gone. We gonna be stacked! OKC watch out! Reply • Back to Top |
| I'm nervous. We do have a bright future with money to spend but I'm nervous how we're gonna decided to spend that money. If we make the wrong choice, it will screw us over, if we make a great choice, it could take us to a whole new level. Big decisions are on the way. I trust Demps. But I'm still a little nervous.

| Right now, full strength, I think we are a 8-5 seed at best. If we want to move up into "legit contender" territory, we have to beef up the roster a little bit. Reply • Back to Top |

quote: Not worried about Davis at all. He will be here at least as long as CP3. The big question is if Gordon exercises his player option and if Rivers proves that he is worth extending. Reply • Back to Top |
quote:. And nah. This team has all the pieces except for MAYBE an upgrade @ SF. One of the best players ever- Anthony Davis Annual All-Star- Eric Gordon Borderline All-Star- Ryan Anderson Decent PG who is a leader- Vasquez All we need is a top 25 SF and we are set if Aminu doesn't develop a jump shot(unlikely). Heat Best players ever-LBJ Annual All-Star- Wade Borderline All Star- Bosh Decent SF who is a leader- Battier Chalmers average/below average starting PG Thunder KD Westbrook Ibaka Martin Perkins Reply • Back to Top |
| Yes. Let's not forget Anderson. That's one reason I wish we could replace Gordon with another strong player whose contract is `shifted' one year. It'd make dealing with assets near the next Davis extension easier since things would be spaced out more evenly. That extension may be far more important if he ends up where most think he will since the Hornets will have less leverage than they do at the end of the rookie series. Davis will get the designated player deal, so that's a given. Then there's the other 3, and 2 if Gordon opts out. Anderson will likely command bigger bucks than Rivers, and if he doesn't then he's gone or we have a good problem with Rivers on our hands. Either way, all of our fancy under the cap moves need to be done well in advance of all of that stuff. Reply • Back to Top |

We didn't pick up his option for next season and his rebounding ability may get some team to overpay for him. quote: Proven quote: Proven quote: More like annual All Star Reply • Back to Top |
| Yeah Ik our players aren't there yet but I think that's what they definitely can be. And Gordon's plays well enough when healthy to be an All-Star. Ik "when healthy" are the key words Reply • Back to Top |
| i think Anderson is a borderline all-star (or he definitely will be) and vasquez is a decent PG with good leadership. those aren't outlandish claims, imo...otherwise, i agree with you This post was edited on 1/17 at 10:24 pm Reply • Back to Top |
