Fitterer gets a pass until we see how this season plays out. Rhule can be blamed for last season since he was the coach. Even professionals make mistakes or overestimate their ability. Just because the GM and HC believe the FAs they signed are an upgrade doesn't make it true. We'll have to wait and see what happens once they start playing games but from what little I've seen of camp so far makes me doubt they were correct. Then again, I firmly believed they should have drafted Slater at 8 instead of Horn or anyone else since Sewell was gone.

Graham not being here to miss the majority of everything he took inside the 3 point line should help that a lot. Graham did a lot of good things here, but taking shots that were worth 2 points was not one of them. Not having Biz miss the majority of his shots or fumbling a pass should help too.

I think Miles proved last year that he is worth another contract. The question will be how big of one.

Overall, yes. Miles, Melo, and PJ should all takes steps forward just as Miles did last season. Gordon will also be healthy, which makes the team better. PG will be a little weaker as Ish isn't as good as Graham. Center should be better as well since it couldn't be much worse than it was last season.

You guys are repeating the same arguments that were had during and around the draft. This argument is old. Hopefully Christensen works out. I believed the Panthers should have taken a tackle in the first and still believe so.

I don't mind the food suggestions. It's always nice knowing where the really good grub is at.

That's one of the biggest differences I've seen with the Panthers vs the consistent winning teams. The really good teams keep good Olines while the Panthers fling poo at the wall and see what sticks.

It is a lot better to give up a two than an open three in today's NBA.

Nah. That's still on the coach. Other teams have gone through coaching changes and changed schemes to play better defense with guys that weren't considered good defenders.

I'm not sure if I like this or not. JB is better than the last few coaches the team has had. But at times it seems Clifford is still coaching with the way they give up open 3s. But if the deal is done, we'll just have to wait and see what happens.

It's very possible. I'm in wait and see mode myself.

I agree those seats won't be good and it looks to me like they want to give things a bit of an NBA courtside type feel. If they really wanted to do that, they should have put them on the 50 yard line instead. But if you have the money and only care about being seen, I suppose the seats will serve their purpose.

I don't know if it is to make room for anyone else or not. They have to make a lot of cuts just to get to the normal roster size.

I'd rather trade him while the team can and get something back instead of just letting him walk next year. The only thing about trading Terry now is that letting both Graham and Monk go leaves the Hornets very thin at guard. Though I guess Gordon can play the 2 with Miles at the 3.

Wouldn't be a bad signing. But it also leads me to wonder if they are trying to trade somebody else. There is already a logjam at the 4 and 5. This would just make it worse.

Meh. Can't stand either team, so this is a no for me. The college volleyball on ESPNU will be much more exciting.

That's a no for me.

By always going for it on 4th down.

On the one hand, at least Darnold is trusting his line to hold the ball too long. On the other, Erving may just be another turnstile.

I think Jordan respects and likes Mitch enough to let him do things his way. That is night and day different than when Cho was the GM.

That will probably be a couple more years at least. Until then, bargain shopping and building through the draft is the right choice.
