Cho was serious about not wanting to add too many rookies. He exiled both 2nd rounders for cash

So are we getting anyone from the Cavs or OKC or are we just dumping players for cap space?

we evidently will be getting Alonzo Gee from the Cavss, just $$$ from OKC

From what I've read, just Alonzo Gee's unguaranteed contract that Cho will likely just waive for more cap space to try to re-sign McRoberts among other moves

Oddly, I was the one being adamant about not paying over $8 million for Stephenson, but right about now I would bid up to $10 million for his services

...but I still don't think he'll get offered over a $8 million offer from any team with rationale

Hi guys, just got back from my 4-hr round trip to Time Warner Cable Arena in Charlotte. MJ made an appearance but quickly retreated into the tunnel when fans recognized him and began to flock. I was close. It was cool to see him! The Honebees are hot, a few were checking me out (I can dream). The crowd groaned and screamed when the Kings took Stauskas - I believe the place would have erupted had he lasted to 9 and had we selected him. Noah got a nice ovation when it came down to McDermott vs. Vonleh. So the crowd seemed very informed on the draft. They went nuts for Napier as well even though they chanted PJ Hairston before the selection. Ultimately when Hairston was selected he got a nice ovation but not as crazy as Napier. A guy sitting in front of me was interviewed on the news, backwards purple Hornets hat and thick rimmed steve irkell glasses.

I think the Celtics mopped up - Smart + Young. They had the best draft in my opinion. I think the Kings will play Stauskas heavy minutes at PG and see if they can make it work. They were in search of a PG and I was shocked when they passed on Payton and Vonleh considering their issues on defense. The place was shocked at Gordon at 4 as well (I was relieved). The Sixers pick of Embiid was surprising.

The whole thing was a thrill and I'm glad I went!

As for our draft, Vonleh + Hairston basically forces us to find scoring starters via free agency. I think Lance Stephenson will be a Hornet. But I'm greedy and I want Chandler Parsons as well.

I'm just happy I can go the next few years comfortable knowing that our future at PF don't hinge on Zeller learning how to shoot. We're set in the frontcourt now. I want to dump Hendo to and make sure we sign Stephenson now.
