News, rumors and buzz around the draft and free agency

What I want to see today:

- Bojan to Utah as part of a trade where Favors gets paid
- KD to NY (please no to GS)
- Kyrie to Brooklyn
- Kawhi to the Clippers (anything but the Lakers)
- Butler to anybody but Houston

KD/Kawhi to the Knicks and Butler to the Heat. Keep them away from the West.

I don't think they are getting him to be Kemba. They are getting him because he costs $20 million less than super max Kemba. And Rozier is only 25.

The Hornets will obviously suck it up this year as Biyombo, Marvin and MKG expire. They will play Bridges and PJ Washington as much as possible. If they can bring back Lamb, they will rely on him too.

They will absolutely suck this year, but things could look up as soon as next year.

except that is the exact mentality which has been killing them all these years. overpaying players on lengthy contracts.

I mean, MKG, Marvin, Zeller, or even Biyombo/Batum's contracts were all acceptable deals. I'd even go as far as calling some of them "decent" deals. but putting all of those deals together on one team is disastrous. for jazzfanz, just imagine paying for 5-6 Dante Exum on your team.

at this point, i think Hornets'd be better-off straight up tanking, at least there is no risk in drafting young players on rookie scale contracts.

All depends on how much Rozier gets. If he gets $12 while Russell is getting $25+ Rozier is a bargain.

I think after Charlotte gets Rozier, they sit on their hands for a year or two. They might even go the Atlanta route and just absorb bad contracts until Batum is gone. Rozier, Lamb, Bridges and PJ give them a fighting chance for the playoffs but probably just lottery.

Doesn't matter.
