Not sure how he fell off so much in one year? Maybe it was an anomaly.

Besides his contract year for the Hornets, he’s terrible. Maybe we could sign him to a one year and he’ll ball out.

He's no answer. Charlotte drained him of all his Portland point-forward powers. We need a real Small Forward, particularly one that has made the playoffs(you know like a Gallinari type)
East #1 Draft Picks: Fultz, Banchero, Wiggins, Cuninigham
West #1 Draft Picks: Edwards, WIlliamson, Ayton, Towns

With Clark signing, our roster is finalized, unless a trade clears a spot

Gallinari isn't a small forward.

Batum at 2.6m is a pretty valuable player

In order to make room for Gordon Hayward, the Hornets will cut Nicolas Batum via the stretch provision. The Frenchman will therefore be a free agent and as you might expect, he should interest quite a few teams, including contenders.

Yahoo! Sports confirms this since several suitors have already expressed their interest in recovering it. If he comes out of two tough seasons, at 31 it could be a very good deal at least for a contender looking for depth from the bench.

At the moment we do not know the identity of these teams.

So... the rumors about buyout were true. As to playing for Cliff over playing for contenders.. that remains to be seen.

No, i said that he was working on a buy out and would love to play for cliff again.

He wants to help a team, a kind of iguodala type of role ( when he was a golden state)

But weham make the decision

Now that we resigned Ennis, we might not have space for him anymore
Draft Carter
Sign monk
Trade Cole for a forward
Let chuma+fultz go
Offer goga a 1+1 deal

unleash Jett next seaon

Go Magic
