2020 Free Agency Thread

The Hornets don't have anyone I want!

 

Hornets are going to waive and stretch Batum they say........he could be picked up for nothing if they do that

 

What options do we have with Wenyen? I think he deserves more than a two-way. Can we do a three way S&T with Whiteside?

 

so then, I'm not sure about the rule but because Portland used the full MLE on Jones, I believe they are hard-capped. That would just about eliminate any sign & trade for Whiteside

 

We actually have 5, see my earlier post.

 

that's the same amount a max 3 year MLE would pay so yeah, the Blazers could have offered that....unless there's something about the MLE rules I'm missing

 

oh then hell ya, I'll take him for the minimum

 

Forget about Whiteside S&T for a multitude of reasons.

They could offer Wenyen a 1.4 deal, which is the vet min for a player with 1 years of experience. So we could use the full BAE and offer Wenyen a vet min deal for $5 million and be roughly under the luxury tax.

 

Ehh..Batum disappears a lot in big games.

 

He won't play a lot.

 

Big YIKES.

 

I'd rather vet min all 3 of Batum + Wenyen + Bowman to fill out the roster. Skip the BAE, it's not necessary.

 

he asked about room under the Apron

if you count Elleby, I see about 7M in room

 

We need to get something for Whiteside!

 

Someone please check my math, because I just did the calculations again and I got 129.4 in guaranteed salaries WITHOUT even counting Elleby, which would only put us $3 million under the apron.

 

Phoenix is going to be a handful

 

Honestly at this point if it’s skinny good attitude Melo who is cool with 20 mpg I’d sign him to the BAE and Bowman to a min and let’s roll. Still best roster we have had in a long time imo.

 

apron is 138.6M
