? Yeah that was kind of my point.

Just got a few second round picks to take on Reggie Jackson’s salary. And with that I’d like to officially welcome both the Hornets draft picks to their new team…the Greensboro Swarm! Maybe we’ll see you in a few years and wonder who you are, but more than likely you’ll fade into obscurity like so many before you.

Lol Bronny James to the Lakers. As much as I hate the Hornets draft, I prefer the position we’re in as a franchise to the Lakers. I’d be so pissed to be a slave to Lebron James’ desires at a point in his career when you know you aren’t winning a championship. Really wish they hadn’t gotten that fake bubble championship that hid the fact that their star players can’t play a full length season or playoff schedule.

Pick is in for the Lakers time to see if nepotism pays off for Bronny James.

*Looks at 3rd worst record. *Looks at 6th pick. Yeah I doubt it works out but we’ll see.

Hope nobody watches. Stretching the NBA draft to 2 days is dumb.

Forget Jalen Duren and Donovan Clingan, we need more projects! You know, because the Hornets have such a great track record of developing players.

It was a weak draft class but they had a gift fall into their lap and could have taken the top center after Mark Williams just spent the season on his couch with a sore back and instead drafted a player we may never see dress for a game.

They decided to draft a project because they all just started and think they have time to wait. Dumb dumb dumb.

I was right about Brandon Miller. This pick sucks.

Boy can’t wait to never see this guy play. Purely developmental prospect for a team who can’t develop prospects, whose upside doesn’t even seem that great. What a dumb pick.

Man, don’t do this, just take Clingan after Williams took a year off because his back was sore.

Man if only they had like the 3rd worst record in the league and didn’t have to talk about trading up to that draft position…I fugging hate the NBA lottery. Having to trade up just to get where they should be drafting in the first place would be such a slap in the face.

I didn’t read it as the Giants would have done 2 seconds, just they were spitballing about possibilities and what the price might be. And even if they initially thought they would be willing to, once they realized no other team was coming close to that then why would they?

This isn’t pawn stars. The Panthers leverage was limited. The Giants were negotiating more against other teams than they were negotiating with the Panthers. Burns himself was also part of the equation because he had to be willing to sign with the new team, which would limit the suitors further. The deal was also done by Morgan, not Fitterer. The Panthers took the best offer they got and they weren’t really in a position to walk away from the table and try to force a better offer. That’s how you end up stuck with getting nothing but a compensatory pick for Burns when he walks as a free agent. It is what it is.

Nothing burger of a story. The market dictated Burns’ value.

Just get the best 3 and D guy we can if this draft is as weak as everybody says.

Well the Panthers Blueprint episode that just dropped didn’t focus on Young at all and yet people are still here complaining because Adam Thielen answered a question. So, I reject your premise that the complainers would complain less if there was less focus on Young, because there has already been less focus on Young and here we still are.

So would you guys prefer they just not talk or give interviews at all and we have nothing to read and zero insight, or is it that you want him to say everything is terrible and the sky is falling?

What a tragedy! I think you are conflating what is hope and what is expectation.

Was looking forward to this episode and it delivered. Great watch and a good introduction to our big FA acquisitions. I think our depth is really suspect across the board, but if we can stay healthy (big if), I really like our starters on both offense and defense and think we could surprise some folks this year.

Better than last year’s approach: “Moments of prep, months of the worst football you’ve ever watched”

I’m sure the Panthers would love to extend him at the salary of an 800yd/yr receiver, which is about what his average is to this point in his career. It’s probably Diontae that wouldn’t want to extend right now.

It took Jay-Z 7.

Idk, Justin Jefferson is different. The dumb ones are going to be the ones who will pay Justin Jefferson type money to just really good receivers. Same thing that happened with Brian Burns. It’s the guys who aren’t on that level that demand that level of pay now.
