Now that the free agent deadline has passed it has been a good day for the Hornets. All of the Pelicans Free Agent target where not traded.

Josh Smith
Tyreke Evans
Brandon Jennings
Al Jefferson
Paul Millsap
Nikola Pekovic

I'd like to have Pekovic but he's an RFA right? I imagine he'll get Asik money or near it.

Jennings is also an RFA so we aren't getting him either.

The rest of them I can live without.

Josh Smith - UFA, will be in Houston
Tyreke Evans - RFA, doubt they let him go cheap
Brandon Jennings - RFA, already said they would match
Al Jefferson - Stranger things have happened
Paul Millsap - Doesnt really fit
Nikola Pekovic - RFA, will be top 5 C expensive


If they take a SF(Otto Porter) in the draft, I can see them making a run at Jefferson

If the price is right I'd look at about all of them except Millsap. Probably not Jennings either. Also not sure Smith fits in here with the depth at PF. Not sure he can really play SF.

If Tyreke and play a little SF like has occasionally in Sacramento I wouldn't mind looking at him.

Jefferson would be awesome

And I have a rager just thinking about getting Pekovic. One of my favorite players, and a Pekovic/Lopez/Smith rotation at C with Davis/Anderson at PF is a pretty fricking great front court rotation.

These are HT wants. Al is the only guy on that list worth serious moves. Im pretty sure Monty would want players like bynum, cousins, cp3, howard...! You know, real franchise players.

Josh Smith- For a max deal? No thank you
Tyreke Evans- At a reasonable price, could be a nice Gordon replacement. Doubt the Kings let him get away but perhaps a trade this summer?
Brandon Jennings- For 8 figures? No thank you
Al Jefferson- really a PF and plays no defense
Paul Millsap- hard worker. has played the 3 and is developing a 3pt shot but not really a fit
Nikola Pekovic- Would be a nice get- beast on the offensive glass- but I doubt Minnesota lets him get away


If any of these guys are in your big 3, you don't have a big 3.

IMO they will make reasonable signings this summer for depth and look to add a core piece via trade with a team at or near the tax line.

Just because they have cap space for a max player doesn't mean they have to spend all the money in one spot
