Great move by the Hornets. They are literally a team worth wrecking with now. They are going to surprise a lot of people this year.

Meh, Lance Stephenson is overrated IMO. He's a lot like JR Smith, a load of talent, but he's got attitude and ego issues. Pacers are better without him

I think they are better off with him than not. There still is a ceiling with Stephenson, although at times the floor is a step away with him. I gave them an "A" because it is well worth the risk for CHA. It's a good opportunity for Stephenson and CHA.
I think McRoberts will be missed at PF and any team starting Marvin Williams as a stretch 4 is a bit desperate. They do have C. Zeller and Vonleh in the wings, but it's questionable how much they will be able to contribute next season.
I like the B. Roberts signing. Lets see how they play together.
I think they got better in the back court, but the front court will be a question.
6 seed at best, 11 seed worst case

Totally agree. Born Ready is going light it up for Charlotte next year. They will be a team to watch.

Steal of free agency so far. Especially when guys like Jodie Meeks are getting $6 M and some change a year.

Worth Wrecking with? Hmm...not sure about that but more fun to watch. Mcroberts did avg 8.5, 5, and 4 while spreading the floor. We have to see how this works out. I have little faith in M. Williams picking up where Josh left off.

At the very least, they will become a top defensive team in the league. Stephenson is now playing for a max contract. He also knows he's got to be a leader and mentor to some of the youth seeing as he's got important playoff experience.
He was a bargain and if it doesn't work out, they can cut their losses in 2 years.

This offseason was an excellent way to ring in the new Hornets era.

F

Stevenson is overrated, inconsistent, and mentally weak. Lance will jack up stupid shots rather than passing the ball where it belongs, in Big Als hands. Implosion is imminent and the players with talent will leave CHA.

You avoid paying $63 for Gordon Hayward, and you steal Lance from the two time East Conference Finalists, and you sign him well below market value, not to mention after a breakout season, which led the league in most Triple Doubles. Hayward never got a triple double, never has, so this Hornets team is looking to be a big contender.

I feel bad that Jazz gave up Big Al, look at the talent he has drawn in. Yeah a lot has to do with Michael and the nice city, but Big Al makes the choice easier.

How do you not give them an A+ it, whether or not he fits their team.

not to mention Lance is a far better defender than Hayward

The Pacers were horrible offensively and they gave away arguably their 2nd best offensive option, not to mention his defensive effort saved George a ton of energy on the floor,
