I hate him on the heat. They bury him in the corner every time. Get him off and put him on a team where he can do what we know he can do

ESPN sorry

I take it Ray is retired, pretty late in the game now to come back.

Hornets are on now, is kemba back? Drummond and Caron on at 8. Also heat play at 8. Is Bazz in the lineup bc due to dragic being there?

Kemba on espn right now

Kemba on espn right now

His career really is sort of at one of those hinge moments this offseason. I could see a scenario where at this time next year, he is an All-Star taking his team to the playoffs, and I could also see one where Charlotte goes in another direction and he is no longer a starting point guard.

I agree unfortunately. Luckily what Kemba has going for him is that MJ seems to like him and his winning attitude, and he is largely responsible for turning the culture of that franchise around in the last 5 years or so. Hopefully that is enough to get the Hornets to keep believing in him. He has to bring his %s up though, better teammates would certainly help.

stephenson really screwed that team up... the need to get some pieces in the offseason... kemba also needs to start calling his own number when he can, hes capable of it

Just a single knock down 3pt shooter would open up that cluttered offense so much, and probably raise Kemba's FG% up a couple points as well as his AST numbers. I really, really wanted Lamb to go to Charlotte in that rumored 3 team trade with OKC and Brooklyn before it fell apart. A Lamb and Kemba backcourt would have been awesome.

This year, Lance had the worst 3 point shooting season ever for a player with > 100 attempts. This is the exact opposite type of player needed next to Kemba. I thought he was very overpaid at the time, but in hindsight, I wish the Hornets made a big push for Hayward.

They offered and signed Hayward to the Max allowed, Utah matched.

Thanks. In retrospect, I was probably annoyed they offered Hayward the max.

 

[Marat]

Looks like Drummond may be getting a max contract .

"Andre's a max player," Gores said, referring to the maximum contracts allowed under the NBA collective bargaining agreement. "He's a maximum guy, yeah. He's not only a great player, he's a great person."

[aceboon]

that's pretty much a given

 

[CallMeBruce]

Probably one of you just made me look stupid on Twitter for forgetting about Charlie (Tyler's fault), but anyway, there's been at least one UConn player in the NBA playoffs every year since 1990. So 26 straight, now.
