Every offseason we expect to gain minimal players like a Trey Burke. Who looks like hes not even in utah future plans. But Dell blew our expectations out the water and signed Jrue, an 23yo allstar 2 way pg. We (Me) also wanted to an aging Iggy who looks to be in a decline and he beat that and signed a 24yo Tyreke on a cheaper contract. This offseason we were looking at players like PJ Tucker and Jordan Hill to improve our defense. He then blew what we thought was possible and grabbed Asik with out losing any talent and salary cap wizardry. The perfect player for this team and to play next to AD. He surrounded a talented team around AD and realized it's not worth taking gambles or players that can be bust like Bennett. Or waiting for RFA to get grossly overpaid like Klay will. Just for them not to pan out and leave due to overpay in turn will soon lose your star player. This team will only keep getting better as they enter their primes. AD has more talent surroundin him than Lebron, Dwight, and Melo ever did at the beginning of their careers. Also I'm sure this is purposely done one year in to AD's new contract we'll still have max money to sign a top free agent.
A toast to Dell for putting this team together and to Benson for revitalizing this team and making it feel like our own which the Hornets never really felt like. Also to a healthy season and the playoffs!
