I normally don’t think the hornets are working on something bigger because the front office is always so reactionary but this feels like Mitch is working on something larger..like in chess when you are making move that look insignificant right before you checkmate them in 6....ahhhh who am I kidding with ain’t got no damn plan.

It was nice to see you were trying tor talk yourself into this possibility. Who knows? It could still happen.

Jesus **** Christ I’m so happy right now! I LOVE BIZ and all his faults. He’ll set screens and rebound and play the best defense he can. I’m not worried about our C position now as we have someone to bang and play D besides Cody. I was already looking for trades we could make this morning. I thought of Biz, but had no idea they’d take Mozgov lol.

Also I have a signed Shoe and Bobcats jersey from Biz as well. If Cliff wasn’t so hardheaded he’d have never left.

I swear, just yesterday it occurred to me that Clifford was now coaching Biz again and that he'd likely want to trade him. Put me in the I Love Biz category too!

Zeller+Lamb for Jabari Parker S&T feels like a nice follow-up move

Cody is so much better than Jabari, impact stats say he is the 2nd best player on the team after Kemba. The Bucks would have to send us an unprotected 2021 1st to get me to think about it. Other than Monk no one on this roster will benefit more from the coaching change. I will be pissed if we trade him.

Biz is an upgrade over Moz but Biz contract is unlikely to move because it's bad plus he has ties here and fits the culture.

This acquisition solidifies the need to move one of the other contracts to free cap to keep Kemba that went away with Dwight.

An MKG or Marvin trade must be close.

[chabber]

No no Zeller is better than Jabari. We don’t need him.

Zeller and Biyombo back together again, they way it always should have been.

I’m also realizing right now, I have a very irrational love for Biyombo.

[stinger14]

Would rather keep Cody than have Jabari, and we need Lamb to replace MKG on the starting lineup

Hope you are right, but trying to figure our where they might go. Deal both for Love? Salaries would work.

I just glanced at the thread for this trade on the Magic board. There do not seem to be any Biz-lovers in Orlando.

Biz has been awful since he arrived in ORL, they never saw him in a role that was at all interesting.

I just posted in the trade forum MKG/Willy/BK 2nd for Jabari. I think it balances us out more.

He was pretty non-existent on the floor here in O-Town - just didn't seem to be nearly as engaged as he was in CLT. Hopefully a change of environment brings him back to life.

EDIT: Per Yosemite, he also wasn't given a defined role here - bad situation for him.

Mitch helped bring a PG (Grant) to Clifford. Clifford accepted a malcontent for Biz in exchange. Let's see Mitch help bring Leonard away from his former employer, the LA Lakers. Let's see. One team where he would resign is Philly. That just came out. Philly added Wilson Chandler's expiring and collected a second round pick. Let's get that expiring and help sweeten the pot that sends Kawhi to the Sixers. Maybe all we do is float Hernangomez over there. Maybe we can use Hernangomez to get the Spurs to take Marvin or MKG.

Saw that, but MKG is the lone above average perimeter defender on our roster. Kemba can't guard bigger wings, and everyone else we have 1-3 with the possible exception of Miles Bridges (who is a rookie) is a decidedly poor defender. Plus, Frank and Willy are poor defenders as well in the front court. I can't get behind making our perimeter defense that weak

a guy like biz was never going to do anything on that team. vuc, aaron gordon, ibaka, isaac, etc - that floor was negative spacing. its not just biz either... all of their guys underperformed because the gm there was just winging it like a clown

watch hezonja go off in NY or something

[amcoolio]

THE BIZ IS BACK

I LOVE IT

Maybe he comes back to my restaurant again.

Great for chemistry too. I agree the fit in Orlando is atrocious. Biz was really freaking good for Toronto, even though he didn't do much offensively.

I too think another trade is coming.

What's CLT stand for?

What's CLT stand for?

It's shorthand for Charlotte, I definitely prefer CHA.
