Moose On The Loose: The Moussa Diabate Thread

[KembaWalker]

Gonna be interesting to see what happens. If we just stop playing Mark now it’s gonna actually make them look either incompetent (for the dozenth time) for missing something in the physical or like sleazeballs for trying to sell broken goods to LA

If we don’t play Nurkic he’s just gonna turn into toxic dead money like he did in Phoenix

Meanwhile Moussa is actually the best player of the 3 probably

Thoughts and prayers for Lee lmao

Expected move: #Hornets have converted Moussa Diabate's two-way contract into a standard NBA deal, league sources confirm. Diabate has been a great find and is easily one of the team's most relentless players.

What is “standard nba deal”? Minimum?

Yeah, it's fairly close to the minimum. I thought the "standard" was a two year contract and more you had to use the MLE or some other exception

I am very stoked to have him locked down dirt cheap

Then this is an amazing piece of business.

13.5 rebounds per 36.

Here's to him becoming the closest thing to Dennis Rodman since The Worm himself.

3 year minimum deal holy **** that is incredible value

To put in perspective.

Rodman didn't break 13.5 rebounds until his age 30 season where he made the All-Star team. In his age 29 season he rebounded 13.4 per 36.

[Chapelchilla]

Well, where are the haters now? Peterson locking up Diabate dirt cheap for 3 years is great business.

[JMAC3]

Spotrac has the deal as
779k this year
2.2 million next year (0 guaranteed)
2.4 million in yr 3 (0 guaranteed)

We made out like bandits here. Moussa needs to fire his agent.

what an interesting couple days for Moussa

- gets named the starting C
- Mark trade gets reversed so he's probably not the full time starter
- gets rewarded with a new contract
- gets punched in the face by Stewart
- misses the rest of that game
- drops his first 20/10 the next game

how does that adjust for pace?

[NCHeels2008]

What a steal to lock him up like this

[Clemenza]

Enjoy the kid Charlotte. He's got next. Another Ty Lue and Lawrence Frank special. We released Moussa for Mo Bamba and now Bamba is out of the league. Unbelievable! His motor and rebounding were the real deal since the day we drafted him. He just had to learn the game more and knew he needed to get stronger, and double down on the rebounding, defense, and tenacity.
Congrats, y'all got one!
