Given our complete lack of cap space, not sure how this would work.

Sorry if anyone is offended by this but Sully is worth 7 spots and definitely allows the Hornets to trade Al now or cut ties with him at the end of the year.

Good trade imo. Oubre will probably be available at 16.

Why?

He just followed us on twitter

MJ shirt with an Al Jefferson line.

yay 2 whales in the starting lineup

if Woj didn't say it, i dont believe it.

that dude interviews MMA fighers on his show, he isn't an NBA guy

When healthy he is a damn fine player. Would give us another guy who can play in Jefferson's spot on the floor when Al is out, so that we don't have to entirely change the offense when subs come on the floor.

Obviously his injury history is terrifying. Also, what is he contract status?

RJ Hunter, Oubre, Booker, Payne one or more of those guys will be available at 16. Take the best one and call it a night.

He is in Boston though. Woj didn't know about the Lamb trade or the Lance trade, dude doesn't have ties everywhere.

I rather Olynyk but Sullinger will do. I hope there's more possible moving pieces like James Young included

Now THIS might spell the end for Biyombo in Charlotte. And I don't think Oubre will be there at 16. Grant might, though, and I'd be happy with that. Very happy.

Think we'd have to send back PJ or more for the salaries to work.

Think he's a RFA after next season.

Roberts?

This might be one of those deals that we don't know is completed until halfway thru the draft (if it happens at all).

Best advice I can give to everyone tonight - don't get happy or upset about anyone we draft tonight at 9. There is a good chance that person won't be on the team by the end of the draft.

First the UConn Gang gets their guy in Lamb, now BigSlam finally gets his guy in Sully.

Xmas for everyone I guess.

Why would it spell the end for him? It solidifies his position in my opinion, he and Zeller are the only bigs on the roster that play defense.

just looking on twitter the only thing i can find is about him following the Hornets, sounds like he is just assuming things.
