Around the NBA 10

Except that Napier will get paid next summer. Not sure Hornets could have afforded him, especially since he can only play at the point.
I would have more regret with Seth Curry if there was really an opportunity to get him here. He is FA next summer, if he could be added for the same contract he had with Dallas (or little higher with a TO).

MCW landed here because of the sg profiles here. You can take Batum, Lamb and Monk, all shares the same liabilities (guess which). Which is why this team should at least take a decision now on which they decide to keep. And without jeopardizing its short term future.

Something tells me that Dell doesn’t want his son here in Charlotte whether it’s because he don’t want them following in his shadow or the possibility of conflict within the organization that’ll put him in a tough spot on whether to protect his son or his job.

Suns agree to contract buyout with center Greg Monroe, sources say

Welp, looks like Cleveland won't be looking to trade for a center anymore.

Let's hope 2019 is a turnaround year for us and we've got representation for the All Star game.

We will finish the season with the best net rating among losing teams. That’ll be something to build upon with our new GM, head coach and lottery pick. Silver linings!

This is the most frustrating thing ever. What does our net rating look like for the first 3-1/2 quarters of games? Or just the first 3 quarters? Insane.

Thats rough. We have no all-stars. We aren't a playoff team AND have no one in the rising stars game. We couldn't even get a nod in any of the Saturday competitions. This would be pretty much rock bottom if it wasnt obvious that Kemba actually should be an all-star, but its still pretty close.

catch20two · Post #399 » by **catch20two** » Fri Feb 2, 2018 2:46 pm

They may have asked Kemba if he was interested in participating in the Skills Challenge as a consolation prize and he probably turned it down...as he should.

Ain't nobody touching our guys in the "Dig" competition.

Actually, this is a gross oversight by the selection committee. The Hornets should be represented at least in the three point competition. Not as shooters though, obviously. Just to stand around the basket so the competitors will make more corner threes.
