This team needed a good vet in the locker room, and needed a real wing. It’s a ton of money, but I’m think this will help bring along the young guys. Please stay healthy!

So we signed Batum 2.0? What happened to maximizing our salary cap and build through the draft and develop through the D-league? Way to go #hornets pic.twitter.com/tGJTLb1eeh

CRAZY to pay Gordon Hayward 30 million a year for the next four years.

Michael Jordan. The GOAT as a player, but man is he bad as an owner.
Reality is Charlotte is going to overpay for anyone with any form of relevancy to play there.

I know most don’t like the price tag, but at least see it as trying (I guess).
Hayward was starting to improve last season. I’m with you on the tag to get him, but let’s see. 💪🏾 https://t.co/hW3EpStGMG
Out of that money Charlotte came up with for Gordon Hayward … none of that paper was available to keep Kemba Walker? #NBA pic.twitter.com/bE8NLTpy65

i understand wanting to get more talent, but when you're about to have even more cap space soon why do you give the bag up now?

Even if the fit is good, spending 120 million is bad asset management. ESPECIALLY if you’re stretching Nic Batum to do it

The Hornets this year will pay:

Charlotte Hornets are weird for paying Gordon Hayward that much but not Kemba….
