Like the signing. Energy guy, role player. Can shoot. Hope he gets to see the court more than Ely.

Alrighty then. I guess we won't see any more movement probably until trade deadline.

Have the Hornets resigned Melvin Ely?

Ely didn't exercise his opt out option so he's still on the roster.

Not a fan of this signing. He is not what we need as a backup big. He is basically a poor man's Ryan Bowen and we already have Bowen. Waste of a roster spot IMO.

Apparently Byron's pretty high on Marks, not sure why, but he'll probably keep Hilton out of the rotation another year, and Ely will be ahead of him in minutes. So yea, kinda "what the?" type of signing. I guess his size and shooting ability is what we need, someone who can spread the floor from the center position.

If he can spread the floor of a big he makes our other weapons that more dangerous. Well lets hope so!
