  • Walker Mehl: At the team's ninth turnover (which the host believes was Christian Anderson's), the lineup on the floor was Anderson, Liam McNeeley, Royce O'Neale, PJ Hall and Tidjane Salaun. Memphis's comeback came with this group in. at 3:43
  • Walker Mehl: The Hornets officially waived Pat Connaughton, so Tidjane Salaun keeps the final roster spot. The host says the decision was made by Jeff Peterson yesterday. at 22:20
  • Mark Stein (reported): Mark Stein had reported that Tidjane Salaun might be the one cut, with the 33-year-old Connaughton making the roster. That did not happen. at 22:30
  • Walker Mehl: Host's view: keeping Tidjane Salaun was the right decision and the one he would have made, though not as easy as many thought. Salaun is still the bigger asset, and the team added veteran experience through Grayson Allen, Royce O'Neale and Naz Reid. at 25:17
  • Walker Mehl: The Hornets have a decision coming on Tidjane Salaun's option for next season, worth about $10 million. The host notes they do not have to pick it up. at 25:41
  • Walker Mehl: Host's projection: Tidjane Salaun probably won't work out for the Hornets, though he might. He could still become a three-point-shooting big who adds physicality. at 26:24

• Podcast Locked On Hornets host · Analysis · Oct 15

  • Doug Branson: The roster still has to be cut down. The host's questions: is Connaughton kept, is another trade made, what happens with Tidjane Salaun? He says Ryan Kalkbrenner is in that conversation and could be involved in a trade. at 30:20
  • Doug Branson: As a counter-argument, the host offers that the team may be giving Tidjane Salaun a bunch of minutes to make a decision on him, ahead of Steinbach. He calls this explanation 'a little straw graspy'. at 30:15

  • Nata Edwards: Edwards thinks that even if Grant Williams is hurt, those minutes go to Tidjane Salaun over Hannes Steinbach, keeping Steinbach in Greensboro longer. at 26:54
  • Nata Edwards: Edwards on Tidjane Salaun: quite good on defense, a 'train wreck' on offense, and he still doesn't know where to be, so he gets parked in the corner. Edwards thinks people inside the building still believe in him strongly. at 26:23

  • Doug Branson: Tidjane Salaun shot 1 of 8 (1 of 7 from three) with 7 rebounds and 1 assist, and the host says he looked shaky on defense. The team is giving him a big preseason look, but the host is skeptical it means he is part of the early-season plans. at 31:31
  • Doug Branson: The host thinks the team is giving Salaun every opportunity as it approaches a decision point on his $10 million. at 32:12
