so.... hayward is questionable tomorrow... timing is SUSPICIOUS... one day before deadline.... "see everybody, he's really close to playing, come trade with us"

then again... if rumors are true. gh wants to stay here.
i'm honestly fine with keeping him if he comes cheap.

I know it's unpopular, but I am too. We are a better team with Hayward playing than we are without. What hurts he takes up $33m or whatever it is in cap space. Oh and he has a trade kicker of 15%, which he'd have to waive in order to be traded depending on matching salaries I believe. Just wouldn't be surprised if he's still here Friday and we re-sign him for a MLE type deal. He has repeatedly said he wants to help this team make the playoffs.

I'd be in favor of bringing him back, too, if the price is right. There is no such thing as 'cheap' when it comes to NBA contracts, but if it's a key reserve-level deal, then I think it would be good for both Gordon and the Hornets.

But if I'm Hayward, I keep my cards close to the chest. No telling who's going to running the show next summer. The whole franchise could be upside down by that time.

Brandon Miller>Scottie Barnes

Fight me!

One of the only winnable games left on the calendar. Anyone on the injury report that still has a pulse gotta play.

hayward with the switcheroo... inactive as expected

cody is back

Black and Cody starting.

So we have no guards in the starting lineup.

Lol the broadcast stressing how important it is that Scottie Barnes is always available to play feels like shots at Melo.

Dell: "he's not superstitious at all!"
Goat: "just a little stitious."

lol

Miles playing a day before the trade deadline. Probably likely he's staying.

Cody Martin is locked in

CodHIM Martin

Miller was born to score. I'm so glad he's a Hornet.

Miles is making a few contenders think about making a deal with this performance.

Not sure why Cliff thinks we can sit Martin, Miller, and Miles at the same time this game.

PJ playing like he’s scared to move.

Just ran out of talent and energy to close this one out. Not sure if it is possible for us to win a single game with that current injury report.

The shrinking violets manage to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. So many losers on this roster.
