I still believe our biggest need is a veteran Wing 3-point shooter, preferably one with some size.

McDermott. Just too obvious.

McDermott is such an obvious pick that I doubt it happens.

Free agency starts at 6:00 ET today. Last year was kind of quiet, this year I expect to see some fireworks, especially with guys like Kawhi Leonard, Kyle Lowry, and Chris Paul out there. Leonard is such a mercenary, though.

Duncan is expected to get a 20 mil / year offers this offseason.

If someone has to get that $20 mil number who would you want on the Hornets? Devonte', Lonzo, Duncan, or Holmes?
My picks:
2020 Draft (3rd pick) - Tyrese Haliburton, Devin Vassell, or Onyeka Okongwu
2021 Draft (11th pick) - Moses Moody

For me: Lonzo - easily.

My order would probably be:
Lonzo
Tae
Holmes
Duncan

(note: I don't think any of those guys are worth $20mil per though)

Fan opinion is really mixed on Whiteside. I always thought he was a strong defensive player, and a great rebounder, but he seems not to be a great team player or locker room guy. On the other hand, he hails from near Charlotte.

But we just traded for Plumlee. What needs would he fill? It was last season we needed Whiteside.

I like Devonte but I can never justify paying him $20m per, my God. Duncan would be a tough pill to swallow at that number too since he’s also pretty one dimensional. The other two offer much more and allocating that % of cap towards them wouldn’t be a net negative at least.

I'd say

Holmes, he has the most potential of the bunch to be an all-star.
Lonzo, he is probably the best one of the bunch but has injury issues.
Duncan, elite 3pt shooters are always valuable.
Graham, he is a backup PG who shoots below 40%.

Holmes and Lonzo would both be future potential based deals.
Duncan would be an overpay, but has an elite marquee skill.
Graham would instantly be a bad contract

Noel 3 years 32 mill. Olynyk 3 years and a little more than that. Players are getting paid.

Wrong thread. Please move it.
