Hornets match Gordon's offer sheet

[EJ10Hornets]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!

So glad this all worked out!

This is the place to be!

Go Hornets!

I don't think this is accurate. Jack didn't net us a TPE because we were under the cap when we made that trade.

I believe this is correct...

[PelicanFever]

yes added a 2nd rd pick for taking on Miller and his 800k.


Plus we got a 5.5m TPE we can do a S&T still for any player who would sign for that amount(if their team is willing) or we can trade for a player of that amount under contract.

except for the fact that we didnt get a TPE since we are under the cap

[PelicanFever]

I believe this is correct...

it is correct

[MarcNOLA]

We do not have a $5.5 million TPE. All we have left after resigning Gordan is our one full midlevel exemption ($5M).

[RaisingTheBar]

i hate having to be another poster that asks this, but does anyone know what our team salary/cap situation is AFTER the gordon extension, i was under the impression that after this our hands would be tied, but im seeing that we have around 5mil to spend. can anyone explain? thanks in advance.

[ramsters60]

it is correct

thats why I believed it

[daybreaker]

I'm sure Demps tried.

No way, didnt you know that if we didnt sign anyone it means Demp didnt try to do anything at all, and he's the worst GM in the world?

[JJackisangry]

Trading jack was depressing enough. Im glad EJ is resigned and i hope he finds a home here. Not literally mind you lol im sure hes found one.

[LuckySunday]

there is a plan....and like you said in another thread, the jack move could have been to please gordon, not just for cap space.

That is a good point it's one thing to say we see Austin as a pg its another to prove it. Also Jack very well may have discretely and professionally requested a trade in private.

You will be missed captain Jack... Yeah i think monty really believes in rivers vazquez and dyson. Im sure monty was really upset though... I know i was

[ej_23]

We still have like $5 million in cap space I believe.

I think you forgot about Rashard Lewis salary we don't have any cap room now after EJ signed.

But you are correct about the TPE I forgot we were under the cap now that trade doesntr make much sense. I guess they really didn't have minutes for Jack but just giving him away doesn't make much sense..

[JJackisangry]

Well EJ haterz... Speak up. Now is your chance

[LouisianaPride]

Well EJ haterz... Speak up. Now is your chance

i find his comment about commitment to New Orleans and fan appreciation hilarious but other then that i'll get over it

[Rugger]

Well EJ haterz... Speak up. Now is your chance

I still think he is a sissy, both physically and mentally, but he is talented. I welcome back our talented sissy.

[Vinny6420]

That whole situation took a lot outta me, ughh

[AD23nEG10]

this whole fiasco will just be a thing of the past once he tells us he's dedicated and we show him the fan support in return. if we get Scola with a bid, we're just a Center away from the playoffs already

[RaisingTheBar]

some of the things he said, unfortunately, i will never forget. but look at it like this, he may not have gotten the 58 million if e had never said those things. in that situation i would do the same thing for 8 million dollars.

[Stretch32]

So, how long until EJ's handlers script some backpedaling apologetic-yet-optimistic statement?

[Westbank23]

i hope gordon brings his hard hat

[JJackisangry]

I still think he is a sissy, both physically and mentally, but he is talented. I welcome back our talented sissy.

Lol thats funny. I want more!!! I for one hate that he has a nerdy voice!!! Take that EJ and welcome back i love you!!!!!!

[Westbank23]

I cant wait to see the starting line up

[Westbank23]

imagine if nobody offered him the max and we offered him the max that we could've paid him....I think that was like 76 mill or something like that

[RaisingTheBar]

more like 80, like ive said many times before, demps knows what he is doing lol

good point....most of this will be forgotten months from now when the season starts anyway. now we can all argue about something else
