Yep, not enamored of the pick (I'll write more on that this week), but I'm also willing to give him as much time and as he needs. Thought we saw the good and the bad tonight - tons of settling for ill-advised shots as well as great foul drawing and driving ability.

Should be a fun week to see how he responds - based on the substitution patterns and James Borrego's post-game quotes, I think the Hornets will be monitoring shot selection very closely.
Yessir.. not yet, but later this week. Pretty excited to see the Rivers PG experiment.
Thanks for the welcome y'all. Appreciate it!

And also for setting me straight on the player charge. I never actually knew about that rule. Makes sense, because the alternative creates a pretty big loophole, heh.
I didn't include Darius Miller because he hasn't officially been signed yet (as far as I know), and didn't include Dyson, Thomas, or Watkins because their contracts don't become guaranteed for a few months down the road.

I did that to indicate that even if all those guys don't make the team, the Hornets' net salaries without them result in the total team exception figure exceeding the NBA salary cap minus team salary figure, a pre-condition for keeping the MLE and BAE. (Read more about this here: LINK The Hornets keep both exceptions unless they explicitly renounce them, as 42 mentioned; perhaps they've done this (and 42 will know more about that than me), but as far as I know, they haven't.

And so, no, I wouldn't characterize my original post as "completely wrong" at all; $6.4M is indeed very close to what we officially have. If we really wanted to, we could turn around and offer that to a player since those initially mentioned guys can be renounced.
