Charlotte might have matched just for value alone. The first round pick swayed their decision.

Also the s&t doesn’t tie us up for 72 hours waiting for match.

So let me get this straight, we had two first round picks for next year, and now we have none?

Griff has turned into an even worse Dell demps…

Graham at 11 million is better than Ball or Dinwiddie at 20.

But the first round pick for a restricted free agent who lost his starting job is mind blowing.

I really hope Cleveland turned down some ridiculous offer from us for Sexton. Because if we gave a first for Graham, we better have offered multiple firsts for Sexton.

It’s lottery protected.

Graham is really good for this team.

Jesus y’all are some miserable fricks. Gonna be pissed about anything just looking for any new reason to bitch. Got graham on a bargain contract and sent lottery protected first so they wouldn’t match the contract. Guess what? If we suck we get the fricking pick back.

Griff has pretty much decimated our spare warchest pieces and all we have to show for it is a solid but flawed Devonte Graham on nice deal and 1 year of Jonas lol.


Yeah this is pretty annoying

I’m not going to claim to have spent anytime watching Charlotte hornets basketball, but graham can shoot from range so I don’t hate the move. Anyone that brings shooting or defense isn’t a terrible option.

Last year our PG play was awful last year, we were a poor 3 pt shooting team and our center provided no spacing for Zion .

So far we’ve added two PGs, upgraded at Center, drafted one of the best 3pt shooters in the draft, and are more cap flexible for the future. We are a more veteran team and hopefully have a coach that clicks with the roster.

Unless you thought we were adding Dame or some other pipe dream I think we’re doing fine.
