2021 Free Agency

It's comical to suggest that he's not paying attention, as though he hasn't had to make any decisions so far. Hell even the Graham S&T isn't done and we're seriously going to act like he's just out to lunch?

Not saying you have to like any particular decision in a void, but IMO makes no sense to suggest he's not paying attention.

I never said he hasn't checked his phone when he's at the bar. It's very possible that he's paying attention.

So he did tons of work with a clear plan on draft night, but just checked out during FA.

It's just trolling at this point.

Lot of premature dumb takes out there when we are in great shape financially, have loads of young talent on the team and incoming, a franchise bell cow, versatility and a talented vet leader. We are headed for the best era of Hornets basketball since the mid 90’s. Mark it.

This. I'm very happy with where we're at and it's puzzling me that there are a handful of people who are freaking out...

[LofJ]

Mitch could be cutthroat and blow up the sign and trade the Spurs and Bulls are working on.

The Spurs are waiting on J. Collins before they jump to a sign and trade of DeRozan. I imagine Markkanen is not happy having to wait on other players to sign a contract. In comes the dude to offer him a contract knowing that the Bulls can't match AND complete the signings of Lonzo and Caruso.

We go into the season with a bunch of tall dudes and no depth at guard outside of Bouknight.

To be as on topic as possible, who's left available as an upgrade over Graham but won't cost us more money?

Who's left available who is comparable to Graham, but won't cost us more money?

If there aren't any viable candidates in those cases, what drugs can grant me the level of optimism shared by others on here? I'd just like to know, because if LaMelo misses any time, every single game he's out is a guaranteed loss. So are we soft-tanking this year?

List our point guards on the roster, please.

At least we are not the Bulls paying 30 million a year for 3 years of Derozen

The optimism that the uncompleted Graham S&T and moves to create cap space that hasn't been filled is a sign that we aren't done?

I would think basic logic should do that trick?

Nunn doesn't pass as well but is a better defender as scorer

Alternatively, there is this thing you can do called a trade, and we have a TPE to use as well as cap space

[Liver_Pooty]

Bulls are doing what I'm glad we didn't.

Splendid. Trades, you say? Interesting. Which point guards should we target?

They definitely broke the bank for a 7 seed.

That's literally the GM's job to know. Lots of teams have overcommitted their cap and need to clear salary, I'm sure tons of guys are available for lots of different prices.

But you're over here saying "I bet Mitch doesn't even want to get better" like you're the smart one in the room.

[Benjamin Linus]

Lonzo-LaVine-DeRozan-Williams-Vucevic

That's a good amount of talent for a starting five. Not sure how well they fit together though. Seems like all those guys are always on losing teams

For someone so well-versed in putting a positive spin on things, creating a quote out of thin air is very off-brand.

Well, there's always at least one, every year.

Guess this year it's your go

When you can't answer the question, thinly veiled insults are always the way to go.

You think we're done and Mitch is out to lunch.

We don't.

Let's move on.
