Uggggh...

We needed a NBA big, not a Plumtree.  Smh...

He is a decent player so gives us flexibility in this draft…2 years on his deal at 8 mill per.  We aren’t done at center.

Took on salary for 37 which could be an interesting pick with the depth in this draft

He is basically replacing Cody Zeller for much cheaper and we upgraded our second round pick in the process. 
 

Still not used to the Hornets making smart moves like this.

Yeah and he's an upgrade to Zeller while being cheaper. Granted not by huge amounts, although he's infinitely more athletic, but still an upgrade.

Best part of the trade is the 2nd round pick move up.. Plummlee is a cheap backup so it doesn't hurt us..

I know you like Barnes but more than Jalen Suggs?  Amazed with that pick.  Suggs to me will be an all star.  Suggs is a complete player.

I came around on this move.  Mitch was next level all day yesterday.  That draft cemented the turnaround.  Plumlee, to his credit, had a really good season last year and made some impressive plays, and he has always by far been the best among those brothers...  I just didn't like adding salary when taking on a big who still can't space the floor or do much on the perimeter defensively, but he is indeed much better than the centers we've played for the last few years.  He is efficient at what he does, and if we can somehow get Kai as the starter sooner than later and Plumlee coming in as the backup, this was incredible.

Really underrated move. Perhaps Charlotte could've found a better opportunity to take on salary for a better asset BUT Plumlee is a useful rotational big. 

Moving up to pick 37 from 57 was sweet. JT Thor is a nice young upside play too. 

If Plumlee is the starting center...this deal is less fun. Based on our draft, cap and roster spots, it's highly possible Charlotte is done adding bigs.

      My Personal Takeaway from This Game vs Cheifs

      By Hoenheim · Posted

      What I really learned here is that the Carolina Panthers aren't anywhere near as bad as I initially thought they were earlier this year.  We've got a young and growing offense with some promising parts. But it still needs some tweaks and improvements.  We really still could still use a dominant #1 WR. But Chubba,  Legette, Coker,  and J.Sanders have generally looked decent. Bryce took a big leap after the benching. We can score enough points to keep pace with 2x defending super bowl champions, so offense isn't a huge issue. Main thing that needs improvement is defense. We sorely need a CB 2, and a number of new players at Dline and LB.  We're not quite as bad at edge with Wonnum showing promise.  But we definitely need 1 or 2 more edges Clowney is old.  Run D is probably worse prevailing theme these past couple years. We really need a good young stud or two to pair with Derrick Brown and another LB to pair up with Trevin Wallace. If Morgan and Canales can focus on rebuilding the defense this off-season and possibly going out and getting a #1 WR. This team could easily be somewhere around 7-10 to 10-7 and flirting with playoffs in 1 or 2 seasons. Overall this game has made me feel alot more positive about the direction of the team.

      Team is looking good for next season

      With our picks we need pass rush, lb, Safety, a speedster yac wr, o line depth and I still want a mid round qb. We got 9 picks and 8 in the first 5 rounds. If they pull Off another solid draft we be cooking.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By frankw · Posted

      We had one passing touchdown against the Giants and one passing touchdown against the Chiefs today. Yes a good backup can replicate that. And that is why Andy Dalton in significantly less games has the same number of 30 point outings as Bryce Young. I am on board with you guys about wanting to be hopeful for the future. Today was a good performance to build on especially at home. But let's please keep things in perspective. BTW the Bucs who honestly aren't even that good blew the doors off the Giants today after we went to overtime against them with 17 points. Again. Perspective.
