re: There are three players the Hornets should consider

Don't care what the 8-game sample size says. they also don't play defense very well.

Like I said in the thread I linked, I'll go back and check at the All-Star break and see where they stack up. Then again at the end of the year. Could very well be just a hot streak.

FYI- their average offense rating over the 4 games (including last night's shite show) since I posted that thread is 112 (BR) and 109 (Hoopdata).

Again, I will update that thread a couple more times to get a better picture.

You say that like its simple.

It's not simple. He has to spend countless hours in practice and off season on his shot. But it's not some crazy idea that a guy can become a better shooter by working on it. He doesn't need to become a dead-eye jump shooter, just good enough to keep a defense honest.

we got the real JSmoove for $10-12 million a year,

I said an extra $10-12million more than Aminu- meaning a max contract for Smith (my numbers could be way off on what Smith's max would be). But yes, if Smith would come on board for $10-$12 million per, you jump on it.

But Smith still doesn't solve the problem that most claim is the number one offseason fix- a SF that can shoot.
