Lamelo gone after his rookie contract.

Yeah, I don’t see us doing anything before the deadline 😒

Especially now the Hayward is out with yet another fuggin injury.

I don't think it's imperative to make a quick-fix move.. we should just be patient and see how Kai progresses over the offseason.. Plumlee will become an expiring contract and Hayward's deal will become less painful as well.. oh.. and next year is Batum's last time he counts $9m against our cap..

we are years removed from an average of 3 bloated contracts on our payroll.. other than Hayward - im happy with where everyone is at.. MB will get paid this offseason - and we shudn't make a short-sighted move that makes it tougher to keep him.. he wants to be here and so will other guys to come play with Ball

The Raptors, Heat, and Rockets are being linked to Washington.

For the Raptors, they don’t have a whole lot that really helps us. The only trade that I could really come up with is P.J. Washington and Vernon Carey for Chris Boucher (expiring contract), Precious Achiuwa, and a 2nd round pick. This trade essentially provides us with cap space and young power forward in Achiuwa.

Like the Raptors, the Heat don’t have much to offer us. One scenario is P.J. Washington and the protected first round pick we obtained from New Orleans for Max Strus, Udonis Haslem (buy out), and Miami’s first round pick. This trade gets us another guy who can stretch the floor and a first round pick.

Now for Houston, we should be all over Christian Wood. P.J. Washington, James Bouknight (essentially a first round pick), and Ish Smith for Christian Wood seems like a solid deal for everyone involved.

I'm not a fan of any of those trade ideas. The Hornets still have a logjam at PF even without Washington. Trading NO's protected first, which should be higher than Miami's if it conveys, for Miami's doesn't seem that smart. Gutting the guard depth for Wood also doesn't seem like a smart move.

Hell no. Those look like a bunch of Rich Cho panic trades. We come out as losers in every one of those deals.

They only way Mitch is making a move is if it nets us a starting center.

PJ, Nick or Vern (Maybe McDaniels but we need him if we move PJ) a protected future first and a second for a guy like Jusuf Nurkic, (only if we plan to extend him) Christian Wood, or Richaun Holmes are the kind of deals Mitch should be after. No way I'm giving up Bouknight half a year into his rookie season. If a trade doesn't happen we can sign a guy like Mitchell Robinson or Nurkic in free agency without having to give up any assets. 

We have control of Lamelo for 3 more years after this season. No need to fug up and do something stupid at the deadline because you think he's going to leave. We're on the right track. Mitch just needs to continue to do what he's been doing. Our future is bright.

I've read that we might have a deal:

PJ Washington to the Heat
Marcus Morris + Omer Yurtseven + 2nd Round Pick to Charlotte

I don't know if I like that but we need to get bigger and better on defense. This would do that. I have felt that we need to sell high on PJ cus we are definitely keeping Miles next year and giving him a big bag.

      Anyone left who does not believe in Bryce ?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I don't need my QB to have arm talent for me to like them, but I do put a lot of weight to how it can affect that player's max potential when it's as bad as Bryce's is, particularly when combined with his overall size.  Even the most ardent Bryce supporters can't honestly deny that Bryce is likely to have the weakest arm of all starting QB's his entire career, maybe some year's he's only in the Bottom 5, but short of pumping steroids, that's never going to change. I'm not a historian of the league on QB's arm strength compared to others, but how many players with that weak of an arm compared to the rest of the league, also was an above average QB for a sustained period of time? I know Brees didn't have a great arm and that's the comparison people like to use for Bryce, but again, he's smaller and weaker armed than even Brees was, and Brees is one of the biggest outliers in NFL history as is.  Which is why Bryce was also betting on him becoming THE biggest outlier in league history at the position.  Bryce doesn't need to become any certain type of QB for me to like him or to be considered a success.  But he does need to become a QB who raises the play of your team, who can drag you to wins when needed, and has you as a contender in more years than not (all teams have down years, but the great QB's have their teams winning playoff games more years than not). It's why I didn't want to draft Bryce, because I just never did, and still don't, think he has that potential in him for a long period of time and at a high level.  Can we put the perfect team around him and we get the right schedule in any given year for a player like him to lead us to a high seed and maybe make a run, sure of course.   But those teams don't have sustained success because it takes the perfect combination of rookie contracts and lucky picks/signings that all pan out at the right time.  They have a great regular season, flame out in the playoffs, and then go back to being that team that either just misses the playoffs or just makes it in to lose in the first round every year.  Picking in the 13-20 range every year, always missing out on the true elite talent in the draft but still not contending. Is that who fans want us to become?  I know it's better than what we've been for a while, but I want better for my team, I love our Panthers and I want us to win the Super Bowl. Prove me wrong, I want to be wrong, I don't want to be stuck in NFL purgatory, I don't want to need to have to find a new QB in 2 or 3 years because we still can't get into the playoffs. But I am who I am, and I am someone who doesn't keep his team colored glasses on at all times to only looks at the positive, I look at realities and call them how I see them.  And I see Bryce as our path to NFL purgatory at best right now and it scares the living hell out of me. Bryce, prove me wrong.

      I miss Luvu, haha.  Chinn too, but really we hadn't used him well since his rookie year.
