No one really.


Then we trade someone and go sign Holmes.


Pickin's are slim. Frank Ntilikina, Ish Smith, Jeff Teague? I guess Grant Riller is a keeper. And I'm not sure there's anyone else left to trade.

If we sign Holmes for that 4/80 that he is reportedly wanting I will puke.

And who are you proposing we trade? And who do we trade them for?


I don't think they have the cap space for that. Maybe something closer to 4/60 + raises and incentives.
My picks:
2020 Draft (3rd pick) - Tyrese Haliburton, Devin Vassell, or Onyeka Okongwu
2021 Draft (11th pick) - Moses Moody

Good pint - I think we only have around $13mil free now.

I'd be ok with Holmes at $10-$13mil per year over 3 years.

Yup: $13 mil to play with:

Not that you can trust a rookie, but this really makes me wish we had drafted a PG with that #37 pick even more now considering how this has shaken out.

Absolutely, that’s what I wanted there.
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

The team still has Terry Rozier & (probably) Grant Riller who can play PG. I'm not sure they really need a big signing there or another really young prospect.
My picks:
2020 Draft (3rd pick) - Tyrese Haliburton, Devin Vassell, or Onyeka Okongwu
2021 Draft (11th pick) - Moses Moody

I thought Riller was gonzo?

By my math we can offer a 4-year deal of up to $58.5M.

I'll just be over here pulling for us to trade Terry for Turner and then signing DeRozan with cap space.

So, we only have 13m + MLE?

Nunn or Holmes, 4/50.
Resign Bismack, minimum.
Resign Riller, minimum.
Enes Kanter, MLE.

If we didn't have that Batum stretch we could have our pick of who's left

Is Riller really that much worse than Graham?
