maybe not bad

they might get the 8 seed by default but they won 20 games last year. gallo prob adds like 5-6 wins in a good year, you assume some improvement by the young players, but they’re still gonna be terrible. still might be worse than the magic

Good pick ups for the defending champs

dunn for $5m seems like a real bargain compared to most of these other deals

I don’t know if it’s a bit or a requirement but a really funny thing is how Shams and Woj put all these odd facts from agents in their free agent signing tweets. Like Danilo Gallinari being the highest paid European player in his 30s who has not made an allstar team.

Also seeing some reports of Bol Bol working hard in the gym and don’t know if it’s a bit
― Matt Armstrong, Saturday, 21 November 2020 17:13 (three years ago) link
the bogdanovic and gallinari signings should improve the hawks defense to maybe league second worst

most of it would be be backscratching the agents in return for the scoop

yeah u dont get sources for nothing lol

Free agent Gordon Hayward is signing a 4-year, $120M deal with Charlotte, per source.— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) November 21, 2020

some big contracts being handed out
Honestly think the Hornets could be a fun team here... first time I’ve ever felt like there’s an actual plan
― Matt Armstrong, Saturday, 21 November 2020 18:39 (three years ago) link
bet this will end up a sign n trade
― lag∞n, Saturday, 21 November 2020 18:39 (three years ago) link
Lamelo + a zillion guys who play defense, including Hayward. It makes sense
― Matt Armstrong, Saturday, 21 November 2020 18:40 (three years ago) link
For Charlotte to add Gordon Hayward they have to:-Work a S&T with Boston-Trade away $7.5M in salary elsewhere-Waive and stretch Nic Batum at about $9M a year for the next three years— Keith Smith (@KeithSmithNBA) November 21, 2020
― lag∞n, Saturday, 21 November 2020 18:42 (three years ago) link
Wait they have to do all three of those things?
― Matt Armstrong, Saturday, 21 November 2020 18:44 (three years ago) link
seems like thats what its saying
― lag∞n, Saturday, 21 November 2020 18:45 (three years ago) link
all the sites only have them at $80m tho and the cap is 100 so it must be sign and trade OR the other two options combined
― lag∞n, Saturday, 21 November 2020 18:47 (three years ago) link
conceptually that makes sense too if you do a sign n trade then youre cool by its nature
So the hornets signed Hayward for $120 million? Huh I didn’t realize NBA teams were allowed to hand out 23-year contracts.

welp this sucks for the celtics shdve taken turner
― lag∞n, Saturday, 21 November 2020 18:50 (three years ago) link
tho i guess they cld get something back in a sign n trade and then via not having hayward on the books have access to the full MLE but still
2nd year in a row they played hardball and someone swooped in with a silly contract
― lag∞n, Saturday, 21 November 2020 18:55 (three years ago) link
My guys love overpaying Celtics (see: Rozier, Terry)

i remember gordon hayward’s RFA when he was being courted by cleveland and charlotte but ended up getting stuck in utah... seems like he looked at free agency this year and was like, my chance to play for one of the sorriest franchises in the NBA has finally arrived
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 21 November 2020 19:16 (three years ago) link
yeah he signed an offer with charlotte that time too
― lag∞n, Saturday, 21 November 2020 19:17 (three years ago) link
tbf at least this time they were offering unreasonably more money than anyone should
― lag∞n, Saturday, 21 November 2020 19:19 (three years ago) link
how bad does it have to get before they’re required to change their name back to the bobcats?
― la table sur la table (voodoo chili), Saturday, 21 November 2020 19:30 (three years ago) link
lmao that contract is insane

waiting for ainge to leak all the bigly deals he almost closed
― micah, Saturday, 21 November 2020 20:53 (three years ago) link
also looking forward to signing hayward to the vet min in 2025 when he comes home to the house he bought in fishers where his kids go to school where both his extended families live in the state he grew up in
― micah, Saturday, 21 November 2020 20:58 (three years ago) link
is atlanta...good now?
― Heez, Saturday, 21 November 2020 21:02 (three years ago) link
Why are you guys acting like Hayward is washed
― Matt Armstrong, Saturday, 21 November 2020 21:02 (three years ago) link
i don’t think he’s washed but giving a good but not great player with a concerning injury history $30m a year is bad business
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 21 November 2020 21:44 (three years ago) link
even if hayward is good next year and like decent the year after that, what exactly does this accomplish for the hornets? lamelo is going to suck for a while and they have no other talent. it’s just another team shortcutting the rebuild.
― call all destroyer, Saturday, 21 November 2020 22:00 (three years ago) link
yeah if hayward can find some health hes an allstar level player but even in that best case scenario im not sure it really makes sense for the hornets
― lag∞n, Saturday, 21 November 2020 22:17 (three years ago) link
would have been fine as 2/60
