Hornets can't function as a franchise without at least one overpaid ex-Celtic on their roster.

Shams and Woj both broke the Grant news at the exact same minute. Which one will be first to announce ours?

Useless Info: OKC has now acquired via trade, at one point or the other, our three most recent max FA signings -- Horford, Hayward, Kemba.

RealGM checker says Mykhailiuk and Banton for Osman works. Seems not right.
Since Osman does not work with TPE, I'd do this trade with future asset if Pops OK, let TPE expire, then wait for buyout to fill remaining spot.

Disagree, added a young rotational big who could possibly stick around for scraps.
For a team poised to compete for a title with an injury-prone big and a 37-year-old big, and likely to encounter multiple of Jokic, Giannis, Bam, Embiid, the Cavs, and Knicks in the playoffs, a young defensive big seems like a great investment.
Since the player excels on defense, and offensive traits like screening and passing, I understand that many fans will ignore his strengths because BENCH PPG seems so much more exciting.

Big wing that can shoot? Can't say I watch him in Detroit at all.
I remember that Hayward made too much money originally for us to sign him even if he accepted a buyout with Charlotte (I know he got traded today), but what about being waived? Presumably, if Joe Harris is waived and clears waivers, we could sign him right?
OPJ and Harris look like realistic vet min candidates if we don't do much else today.

Great point! No Harris for the Celtics, probably a good thing.
Celtics can't sign Harris. Damn the new CBA, gets me every time.

Something for the summer: I dunno where Hayward's head is at, but I'm sillily (?) still holding out hope that he'll reunite with Brad to finish their #Unfin19hedBusiness. At the minimum as super 7th man?? WHY NOT?
