Welcome To Charlotte: Semaj Christon

[mrknowitall215]

Another inefficient, undersized combo guard stuck in a pg's body. Kemba's backup is a poor mans Kemba. Meh.

Basically admits the Hairston trade was a cost-cutting move. Saves from $75k - $80k over each year of contract.

It was a smart GM move. Small stuff like that adds up over time.

i can see us keeping Gee (from the CLE trade) and dumping JT

[JDR720]

nevermind, Gee makes 3 million totally gonna dumb his un guaranteed contract

[mrknowitall215]

What's with this team always dumping their 2nd rounders? Seems to happen a lot. Why not bring them into summer camp and see what happens.

They are going to have more than enough players to make decisions on as it currently is. I think Taylor is seriously on the cutting room floor if he don't show something this offseason into training camp. Savvy move by Cho to cut cost with Haywood to open up that extra roster spot though

That one I understand because they at least got rid of Haywood. It's giving the ones away for cash that seem to happen a lot. Either way your right. Taylor hasn't really shown much except in summer league and now he's got a busted foot. He should really have a tough time making the roster if we pick up some players in FA.

I'd much rather see CDR back than Taylor, but I'm sure I'm probably in the minority on that. Taylor get a lot of leniency for a 2nd rounder that's been mostly disappointing, but I guess he's likable enough on a cheap contract to justify

@DylanBuckingham 2m
Presti can't comment on a "small acquisition" until it's finalized. Assume it's in regard to Semaj Christon.

[chabber]

Yeah he's cheap, but I'm with you. I want CDR back, even if it's as a 14-15 guy. He proved himself over both Taylor and Hendo. Even got compliments from James in the playoffs for how he guarded him even though he was obviously out matched.

[JDR720]

we probably have over 20 million in cap if we do get Gee and waive him and the money from OKC and MIA

[chabber]

I know Gee makes $3M. Don't know what the date is to cut him before it guarantees.

[hhvo]

Rich Cho is doing what does best... Working the numbers. Moving back two spots and still getting the player we wanted, while getting cash, a 2nd (which turn into cash also). Trading the #45 for $2M in salary dump in Haywood and creating roster space.

He's giving us a lot of flexility and saving MJ a lot of money. Those moves add up to probably $4/5M and beyond.

Welcome and goodbye Christon

We hardly knew ye..

[BobsBuddy]

Cho is brillant picked up the same player we planned to draft two spots later and got 2 second round picks.. turned one into cash cap space...Then at 45 traded the pick and Bwood's contract to create more cap space..What else has he got up his sleeve..#$%^@&& I know just Do it!! You're the Man...

[MrMorrow]

Taylor's been working out more in the Charlotte facility than anyone... more than Biz, more than MKG, more than anyone.
