Well, you're the one that can make it happen. Consider this a vote

a "Create-A-Player" thread where we combine Hornet/Bobcat players and try to "Create" the ultimate player using Hornet/Bobcat players only

Defense of MKG, shooting of Dell Curry, rebounding of Larry Johnson and post moves of Al Jefferson = stud muffin

Got to use Biz's body. And did JR ever play for the Charlotte Hornets? I thought only New Orleans

thats a typo. it was supposed to be JR Reid. he has the lowest voice ever.

and good call on biz for the body instead of larry johnson.

I like the signing. He seems like a perfect fit.

I need to see biz with fabio's locks.

If we couldn't get Sessions back this was my next choice.

LamarMatic7 · Post #93 » by **LamarMatic7** » Mon Jul 14, 2014 1:31 pm

I remember how this guy had his breakout game against us during his rookie year. Ever since then he's seemed like a decent back-up PG to me.

Good Decision as backup point..McConnell looks like he would be a nice choice for 3rd PG.
Now with Cap space left we need one more piece other than Stephenson.

Very solid pickup for us. I remember watching this guy destroy us last year. He couldn't miss.

Because that's probably the next chain of command if Cho is planning on finding somebody that's a certified lesser talent than Roberts. I'm not even trying to be sarcastic. It's just that the truth may come out that way sometimes

I completely agree - curious to see who we get.

Am I crazy for wanting Rivers if the Pelicans waive him?

I currently want Seth Curry. I wouldn't be opposed to Austin Rivers, but then we'd be Pelicans craved as much as we are enamored with Jazz players

Also, UConn bias aside, I wouldn't mind A.J. Price as the 3rd string PG. I actually think he 'could' be better than Brian Roberts

I just don't think Seth has the PG skills to get it done. I wouldn't mind giving him a shot though, he would be valuable just for his shot and driving ability.

I don't care about appearing to poach from one team or another, I just want players that can get the job done. Austin is only 21, and post-All Star break last season he put up a line of 10 ppg on 43% FG and 37% 3PT, 2.5 rpg and 3.2 apg in just 25 mpg. He also had a 2:1 assist to turnover ratio. I think he still can be an impact player.
