in case we don't get Lance

he chart illustrates why Stephenson is holding out for more money as well as why Washington will have a difficult time holding on to Ariza. There are still so many teams with massive amounts of cap space. The question facing NBA front offices is whether the teams shouldcontinue to spend big this summer or wait until 2015.

Even with that in mind, the 2015 crop of free agents looks a lot more fertile than this year’s leftovers. The marquee free agents — Love, LaMarcus Aldridge, Dragic, Rondo, Wesley Mathews, Paul Milsap and Marc Gasol — will still be in their primes, not to mention the deep group of restricted free agents.

(For the sake of clarity, restricted free agents — a group dominated by late-round picks from the 2011 NBA Draft — are not included in the chart above, but some of the better options can be found here.)

If we use all our space this year it doesn't matter who is free agent next year because we'll have no money.

Who out of that group would you want to spend it on? Love, I think will be locked up at some point, and probably wouldn't want to even come here

Aldridge deal in Portland is going to get done. And no one else on there gets me excited.

If MKG doesn't progress this year I'd love to add Jeff Green. He's an upper echelon small forward and he can also play power forward.

It all depends on who you want (position wise). You can either add Stephenson and be cap strapped for two years or you can wait out one year and sign someone like Jeff Green, Paul Millsap, Goran Dragic, etc.. next year and be cap strapped for only one year.

This year is going to be crucial for the development of Biyombo. If he doesn't develop, he needs to be let go so we can have a little room to address some issues. Kemba also needs to make the jump to legitimate top ten point guard. With his contract ending this year, if he doesn't make the jump we may need to move on.

As far as MKG, I'm willing to let him play out his deal before making a call on him.

Why would you wanna give 8.5 mil to Kemba when Dragic and Rondo are FA?

Well I don't want Rondo. I don't care how good you are, if you can't stay healthy you are useless.

As for Dragic,

I think Dragic will get close to a max, so we'd have to somehow find a way to get rid of Henderson's contract to be able to even afford him and by then we probably couldn't field a complete team.

If we want Dragic, we can't go after Lance this year.

      Slowing my roll on Ward (for now)

      By TLGPanthersFan · Posted

      Him and Sanders are the only QBs I would consider in the first round. I won’t be upset if we take Sanders, unlike some people on the board. Both have potential to be really good NFL QBs if the teams can develop them.  But as we have seen teams are not willing or are unable to now properly develop rookie QBs.

      I remember the last time we had a Cam at QB in Charlotte

      Because Young is so historically bad that it just skews too far outside the normal deviations that perspective is easily lost. That or they just don't want to believe it.  The struggles last year would have been more about the infighting and poor roster building or idiot owner's hiring practices than with Stroud. He wouldn't have been as good but he wouldn't have been ruined here and the pressure was not Carr-esk if you take out the Young created portion from his playing style.  Dude is a young guy on a team coached by a Defensive guy building a good D but not building up the O in year 2 of his HC 1st time gig. Seems familiar... Go look at his output this year and not just some crappy Thursday night implosion game, I would take that in a second and never ever look back every time without a shred of doubt while eating 4 of those games a year with a giant smile on my face.
