Max for Terry would be awkward after Kemba but I'm not against it. The way his catch and shoot game has been improving he's a good to keep playing at a high level for at least one more long term contract I think.

that's the question Mitch has to deal with.. Miles and Terry hit the FA market next year.. Miles seems like he's in order for a decent payday next year but nowhere near the max.. Terry will be very expensive - and with us just investing a lottery 1st round pick into Bouknight - it seems like the writing is on the wall.. sadly , we might have to flip him at the trade deadline this year to make sure we get something back from him..

well if we're going to lose him, best to get something in return.

However, weren't we like 3rd in the division this year before melo got injured, and with Biz and Zeller as our centers?  If the team suddenly comes together, and we feel we can make a deep playoff run, it might be worth keeping him.

Any team that trades for him will have to sign him to a contract he agrees to, so it's not like we'll get a huge return.

I hate to be a pessimist but the future doesn’t look good. If LaMelo doesn’t want to stay, he will leave. Right now, there isn’t a lot we can surround the kid with. We just need to pray that he chooses to stay here when his contract runs out. Miles really need to step it up big time for me to feel comfortable giving him a new deal. Terry isn’t really worth a max deal here in Charlotte. Terry is good but isn’t an elite player that can put this team on his back and win a playoffs series. We need for Bouknight and Kai to be become stars like LaMelo or we will be drafting very high in the near future. 

I'm as pessimistic as the next guy - but Lamelo hasn't even begun his sophomore year and we already afraid he gone..? thats a lil much for me..

I think the future is as bright as it has ever been here.. Miles took a step at the end of last year when everyone was injured - and has developed a good relationship with Melo.. PJ is solid - but needs to become more consistent THIS YEAR and if we keep him at the 4 instead of the 5 - he should improve.. I also agree Bouknight or Kai has to develop quickly (within 2 years) - my bet is on Bouk.. and I would also bet that one of the 3 Bigs [Vern, Richards or Thor] will develop into a contributor of some sort..

we will see, but there is a lot of potential/talent on the roster and JB's staff has shown the ability to develop the talent it is given.. Ball + Bouk + Miles is a good core with vet help from Hayward and Rozier.. I'm so interested to see if Melo takes another step this year..

      Some love for Steve Wilks

      By frankw · Posted

      I'm not saying he should be working in the NFL. He did deserve some criticism as DC there. But Kyle Shanahan certainly did use him as a convenient scapegoat. Now there is no one left to throw under the bus. Anyways he could find his way back to the league in some capacity who knows. But he's old school and in the NFL you either adjust or you get left behind. All the same no hard feelings toward him he's a good guy.

      Is it too early to lock up Horn to a long term deal?

      By CRA · Posted

      he has barely suited up for 50% of our games.  It matters pending how much of our cap and resources go that way.  If he cost in the ballpark of a Surtain? No thank you.  Let someone else  And as far we know what happens when we let talent walk away or trade them…..that’s a mixed bag.   should we of paid Norman, Bradberry at CB? They probably had earned the right to be called better than Horn at that moment of the decision.  Do we regret that? Do we regret Star walking? Can take it back to Spoon.  Flip side is probably Peppers.

      Bryce Young what a crazy statement

      By frankw · Posted

      We need to get better in the redzone. And yes that is an issue that involves all the moving parts. Oline receivers QB and playcalling. But Bryce himself has to lead the charge on that or surely we could face another blowout in one of these upcoming games. Every team no matter how good they are is going to face an opponent that imposes their will on them and requires the same in response. Those are the games where we have got to capitalize on drives. Honestly I get the sense that the Chiefs on some level overlooked us.  So while I am pleased we were as competitive as we were it certainly remains to be seen if this was the beginning for something new or just an anomaly. I think that's a perfectly fair take at this juncture.
