All of the pieces shitting on Charlotte and the Hornets will be fun tomorrow after we win the lottery tonight
Getting Zion and immediately being better than the sixers would be pretty awesome
Kemba makes 3rd team All-NBA, which makes him eligible for a supermax contract (5 years, $221M). On one hand, he deserves it. On the other, that would absolutely crush the team's salary cap. The various levels available:
Super max- 5 years/$221M
Bird (w/CHA)- 5 years/$190M
Team w/room- 4 years/$141M
There is no way they can offer him the supermax, and they have a lot of room to still outbid everyone else, but does he get pissed if they don't offer it all to him? This is honestly the worst thing that could have happened under the circumstances.
I just don't understand how teams like the Warriors and Rockets and Thunder and wherever LeBron plays can load up on multiple max-contract guys, but if we sign the best player in our franchise's history to a deal like that it will completely prohibit us from signing anyone else for the rest of his career.
Um, because the guys on those teams have actually won playoff series?
I like Kemba but he's nowhere near good enough for us to attract other superstars or any veterans who are willing to play for us for less than their worth

Skip Bayless on his show this morning saying the Hornets would've made the playoffs this year if they had Klay Thompson instead of Kemba.
That doesn't seem that bold. I think Klay makes us 2-3 wins better at least as arguably the best two way player in the game.

Klay has such an underrated profile. As far as I can tell there has never been a player who averages 20 pts a game while shooting over 40% from deep while also being a top tier defender.
Part of that is because there has never been a team like the Warriors. He is playing next to 3 HOFers, one of whom is arguably the best shooter in NBA history, and another who may end up a top-10 all time player. Put Klay on the Hornets and can he carry them completely on his back like Kemba has? I would be surprised if he could.
