2020/21 Season 2 Off-Season Summary - Charlotte Hornets
So into the off-season and with our picks in the draft we took the following:
The Draft
R1 P1: Jerry West - PG, 82 Rated, A+ Potential
R1 P8: Lester Keefe - SG/PF, 70 Rated, A- Potential
R2 P21: David Johnson - C/PF, 69 Rated, B Potential
Happy with West, but I automated scouting during the season and had I not I really would have picked up a better player from 8th pick than Keefe. As it was I could see barely anyone's full stats as it appeared my scouts (left to their own devices) got bored once finding out about half of what there was to know about a player.
Released Players
Renewed all of the players that had an option, but ended up letting Malik Monk and Devonte Graham go, which may be a mistake, but they both wanted in excess of $17m a year and I'd rather give the new guys and the other players already there more game time.
Signings and Trades
Toggle Spoiler
Picked up Wes Wingate who was discarded after being 20th pick in the second round in 2020, but he looks pretty good. More trades for picks as well.
Season 3 Roster
Probably weaker than last year, but much more potential. Excited to use West and I've elevated Floyd into the first team. Bridges contract is an issue and having lost Monk and Graham for nothing I may have to make a call on whether to keep him beyond the trade deadline or cash in on him for a pick.
Other News
Giannis decided not to stay at the Bucks, signing for the Spurs instead. This is annoying as it probably makes the 2024 First Round pick I got from them worthless.
Season Aims
Winning more than 10 regular season games would be nice.
