NBA Season 14-15: General Thread

Apparently Hornets have no idea when they are in a position of leverage. Idk how in the world you throw Vonleh into a deal that helps the Blazers clear cap room which they need. Batum is a nice player but his stock is down if anything after last year. I'm so lost.

--Edit--

I guess actually even if it's reported LMA knew of this trade it is a bit odd. Giving up Batum seems like a step back in the present. Even if the money helps keep LMA and Matthews together it's still at the cost of a wing and the players you get back are a rotational player and a project player for the future.

This was my thought too. Batum for Henderson is essentially a wash if you factor in salary- 5m saved. Why throw in Vonleh? Why not just keep Hendrson and Bonleh and use the extra 5 on another quality rotation player?? Wtf Hornets
