Mattingly! I told you to trim those sideburns!

George Blaha will praise Kon all series. That guy is damn good.

So Detroit are going to get the 8th playoff spot? That’s bold

Why did they waive him in the first place? Did he have non-guaranteed money above the minimum making this cheaper?

I love watching the Hornets games and him doing the over the top celebrations haha.

Yep - I was coming here to refer to it as well.

Looked NBA death in the eyes and said “not today”

Oops

Pepperidge Farm remembers 

Dude is an excellent teammate I rock with him so hard

Crazy bench reactions plus he’s the NBA player equivalent of champagne because basically the only time he plays now is when we’re winning in a blowout

Project Pat is a real one

/r/NBA filters are stupid and are probably auto deleting posts that aren’t long enough.

preview tonight

Branham waived

We cut someone else this morning before this. The dude we got for Tyus Jones from the Mavs

It’s fair, any team could’ve claimed him…

Every team in the league can claim them after they are cut lol. Theres just no point in being petty about an end of the bench old timer. Let them go where they want or go nowhere etc.

Conley one is iffey because an agent could relay whether team the player is being traded to will trade him again. That could be something added in the next CBA to prevent. But the thing is this only really works when a player has a negative trade value. So in that case maybe it’s not a big deal for a good team to be adding back the player.

what the NBA banned back then was teams trading players, the team that acquired them cutting the player, and then the player going back to the team that traded them.

The reason they banned it was when the Cavs traded Big Z to the Wizards, the Wizards cut him, and then the Cavs just got him back for free.

You might ask “what about Conley?” well the reason he was able to return is because he was traded twice (first to the Bulls and then to the Hornets) and the rule only applies with the last team he was on (so the Bulls could not have signed him)

We didn’t trade Pat away, we just waived him to make room to make a couple more trades for picks, then waived guys we didn’t even want and re-signed Pat.

He bleached his hair like 2 days before he got cut for losing a team bet. You can’t just cut a guy after that. It’s in the CBA

Because he’s not playing unless something goes horrible wrong. He’s there for vibes and vet leadership. He’s an awesome locker room guy. He was only waived so that the team could complete a trade that netted them draft picks.

Young team like this needs at least one vet on the roster since Kemba technically a coach

The oldest person outside him on the entire roster is 27! They need vet guidance.

He is an elite towel waver / sideline coach-mentor / 3rd stringer.

How much potential are you trying to put on these Hornets? There’s only one Finals they can win at a time.

I’m with you, but he gave good vibes/chemistry tbf

We have plenty of guys like that either already on the roster or on a two-way.

This was purely for the locker room. Absolutely love the resign as a Hornets fan. He’s been a huge guy for us behind the scenes this year
