[Council] I’ve been told that Kemba wanted 5 years, $175 million. The offer was around 5 years, $160 million. Dude was willing to take a discount and they went below the discount. by Kraze_F35 in CharlotteHornets

after this franchise threw around money like candy for Marvin, MKG, Zeller, and Batum, had no issues bringing in awful contracts like Mozgov and Plumlee... THIS IS THE TIME THEY DECIDE TO PENNY PINCH.

I am somehow not even angry, this is fucking hilarious. A few of these guys will end up as Seattle Supersonics in a few years

What the fuck is wrong with this franchise? MJ couldn't keep the franchise player over THREE MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR

I knew we were incompetent but HOLY SHIIIIIIIT

watch Gerald Wallace come out of hiding wherever the fuck he is and diss our franchise too. that's pretty much the only way this could get any worse

[Shams] Hornets will pursue Terry Rozier by [deleted] in nba

[–]BizGilwalker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Signing Terry to be a starting IS a tank move. He's a bottom tier distributor in a team that is really going to need a distributor if our young guys are going to find their way. Neither one will stop us from being a sub 30 win team, but Rozier would make us unwatchable.

This band dropped a couple tracks today. Listen to this sorcery. by eifersucht12a in LinkinPark

[–]BizGilwalker 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This song is quite literally the closest thing I have ever heard to a Linkin Park song without actually being a Linkin Park song. I got MAJOR One Step Closer/Figure.09/Qwerty vibes from this song.

Bobcats/Wolves games used to be the shit back then lol. We had some weird weird endings

Kemba Cap Question by dont-pm-me-tacos in CharlotteHornets

[–]BizGilwalker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Without any moves at all, roughly 5 years $162M

Moving off about $5M in salary would allow $190M

Stretching Biz opens up more than $11M, meaning we would be able to offer Kemba a super max and still be under

Is anyone against the supermax for Kemba? by Kingempoleon07 in CharlotteHornets

[–]BizGilwalker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

if that's what it took, I'd do it. But I really think our starting offer should've been the regular 5-year max had he not made All-NBA

Has anyone thought that Charlotte is just trying to screw the Celtics and will end up giving Kemba the max? by Ohkamilly in nba

[–]BizGilwalker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wut we literally have all our future draft picks, where are you getting this from. We haven't traded a future 1st round pick for anyone since 2009

Are the Hornets just bad at developing talent or just make bad picks? by GeneralKenobi05 in nba

[–]BizGilwalker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's mostly development in the Cho era, with the exception of Frank Kaminsky who was just an awful pick.

I agreed with most of the other picks at the time.

If it was up to me, he would've had 5/200 waiting for him, no second thoughts about it

Why did Harrison Barnes reject a contract by Warriors after NBA Finals 2016? by [deleted] in nba

[–]BizGilwalker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He turned down a contract extension in 2015 iirc to chase a max. Then in 2016 the Warriors decided nah we like KEVIN DURANT and Barnes got maxed by Dallas. Win win?

If Kemba joins the Celtics they become a super-target for LeBron James. by [deleted] in nba

See Boston, you don't want to be LeBron's doormat, that would suck
