:o :o :o :o I think Lances expiring TO is not useless. It will attract teams who have a 2 year vet salary to give us for a chance at using him on a 1 year rental off the bench.
I think LAC,IND,NYK or LAL might be interested :nod:

That's taking it too far. $9M could be the difference between a team being able to offer multiple max contracts or not.

:o :o With Jordan being a FA,I wonder if the Clippers might be interested in Al on a sign and trade with us?

They are hard capped and won't have that much space if they let him walk. Which means we would have to take back their trash.

I don't know the sign and trade rules very well, but Jordan was on the books at ~11.5 M this year, compared to Al's ~13.5 M.. So I think it would be a minimal contract we had to take back, I think...

Having said that, I'm not sure it sounds realistic.. do you really think we could entice Jordan to come to Charlotte?

It would have been funnier with correct use of "then", instead of "than", but still pretty funny

That pass to Zeller where he ran away with his arm held up afterwards was probably the funniest thing of the season. If you can say nothing else about Lance he's definitely entertaining.

Give that man a consistent and he is going to be so special. He could be a huge difference maker for us if he can rediscover his shot.

nah, at least Lance could be still useful if he figures out how to shoot again.

I like the idea of bring Wallace back to retire here, but as a free agent next offseason.

I like the idea of him signing a one day contract, and retiring a hornet then us having a ceremony retiring his jersey. I want no part of him or his contract right now.

Honestly that is just completely lopsided. Lance is more valuable than Wallace and number 9 is more valuable than 16 for obvious reasons
