ICYMI: @stevekylerNBA said on @PrimetimeWFNZ that 3 free agents he’s heard linked to #Hornets is PJ Tucker, Trevor Ariza & Gordon Hayward.

Hayward is the one I've been predicting all along. He's their main target. We need to offer sign & trade to the Jazz in return for them not matching. I think Hayward would want to play here.

Indicates the Pacers org is monitoring the Hornets. He's exposed to personnel digging around that stuff gathering intel on other teams. It's a tell imo. Why are the Pacers monitoring the Hornets. I think you know why.

there will be so many outrageous contracts signed this summer due so many teams having tons of cap space. near max deal for lowry? thats just the beginning of the insanity that is about to follow.

and yes, we should all be terrified of the contract that kemba will get next year.

We will find out shortly after midnight. Would be hilarious if Lance, Larry Bird and company are sitting in the movie room with Lance showing him his tribute movie and Lance stands up, interrupts the highlight designed to hook him and asked to be excused so he can text back Kemba Walker.

Hell to the nah. That would make us the laughingstock of the league. Cho too smart and consertive to do that. I'd be surprised if he gave him over 10 or 11 mil.

I think it's this summer. We got until October something to extend him or he become a RFA.

That make more sense. I woulda been shocked if they offered him that much. If they bring him back it'll be about 12 mil toppers.
