I read some fan speculation that the silence on Lance could mean the Hornets are still juggling multiple contingency plans, specifically related to the Love deal. We might be the team that absorbs David Lee's contract and gets Waiters in the deal. In which case Zeller would be shipped out maybe to the Wolves.

You would trade Al for a bag of Doritos and a mountain dew

I don't like either of those things.

if GSW aren't getting Love, why are they so keen to ditch Lee?

I've heard them mentioned in the Cleveland Love talk as well, but I think its complete BS.
Can't seem them being involved, unless they're getting TT from Cavs?? But wouldn't Wolves want him?

So we would get a 20/10 player AND Waiters and only have to ship out Zeller?

Yeah, that isn't happening.

I don't know. The fan only speculated our space and assets might come in handy to get, maybe Waiters if Love is going to Cleveland and maybe someone from the Warriors if we take David Lee's contract. For all I know, maybe Minnesota likes Cody Zeller.

I think the fan meant we would facilitate a trade for either the Cavs or the Warriors. I misspoke. Not both.

Lee's played pretty well in GSW, unless Kerr really doesn't like him.

He would also be a pretty horrible paring with Al defensively

Yeah, but I buy into it a little because of the hesitation. I think tomorrow we find out if Lance is flying into town or not. If not, I think this speculation might mean something. I would guess Cleveland and Waiters are more likely and that's because we've been involved in talks with Cleveland recently after just consummating the Haywood deal. So I just wonder if those conversations ever veered other places at moments.

Rather have Lance and Zeller than Lee's no-defense ass and Waiters. So no.

Maybe the plan is to trade Cody Zeller for Dion Waiters then use the cap space to sign Greg Monroe. For the price of Zeller + Lance you can have Waiters + Monroe.

PG-Kemba Walker/Brian Roberts
SG-Dion Waiters/Gerald Henderson/PJ Hairston
SF-MKG/Marvin Williams
PF-Greg Monroe/Noah Vonleh
C-Al Jefferson/Bismack Biyombo

Next year if Al and Hendo (please God) opt out that would be

PG-Kemba Walker
SG-Dion Waiters/PJ Hairston
SF-MKG/Marvin Williams
PF-Noah Vonleh/Marvin Williams
C-Greg Monroe/Bismack Biyombo

Al and Hendo would create 13 + 6 or 19 mil in cap space. Plus Neal is 22 million. That's plenty of dough to lock up Walker and sign a big free agent.

I don't think we will pay a PF $7 mil a year to come off of the bench.

No doubt about that but I do think that Williams was a Coach Clifford kind of signing. He wanted a vet to bring the young pup PF's along.
