Unrestricted free agent Raymond Felton has been contacted by seven teams as all signs point to him leaving Charlotte.The next step may be if the Bobcats can get compensation for their starting point guard through a sign-and-trade deal.

"We would consider a sign-and-trade with the Bobcats if it would help them and Raymond as well," agent Tony Dutt said Thursday. "I was excited by the high level of teams that contacted us."

Dutt wouldn't name the seven teams, but the Bobcats weren't among them as they appear ready to make a change in the backcourt.

The Bobcats have made no push to re-sign Felton in part because of salary-cap issues. The team's payroll is close to the luxury tax, a figure owner Michael Jordan has said the team won't exceed.

When the Bobcats gave Tyrus Thomas a one-year, $6.2 million qualifying offer to make him a restricted free agent and Tyson Chandler didn't opt out of the final year of his deal, it left Charlotte only about $2 million shy of the projected luxury tax figure and may have marked the end of Felton's time in Charlotte.

He's been very solid with us, but its time to move on. A sign-and-trade would be great, since it ensures that we'd be compensated. I think this also signals that we're on the verge of trading either Chandler or Mohammad for a PG.

if Miami get Lebron, Wade, Bosh and Felton- you can basically gift-wrap the title next year..

for the longest time, Felton had been the 2nd option on our team until Jax came here- but he was still taking the final shots.. if he were to go to Miami- he would be 4th on the list and be able to just focus on distribution and knocking down the occasional 3- which he stepped up in that area last year..

They simply can not do that. They can add a max free agent to go with Wade, or they can add two if they get someone in a sign-and-trade and they send Beasley away. If they do that though, they'd have to fill the rest of the roster with veteran minimum guys, meaning they won't have a bench. Wade, one other top free agent, and Felton is what they can do.

      [PFF] Tetairoa McMillan Will Unlock Bryce Young and the Panthers Offense!

      By Icege · Posted

      Summary The 2024 Carolina defense posted a 44.9 grade last year, which was the worst in the NFL since 2020. They also had the worst receiving grade in the NFL despite a QB that emerged in the second half of last year. TMac is most likely WR1 in this class and is now WR1 in Carolina He's going to be incredibly helpful on go balls, dig routes, and in the redzone. Highlights show just that: First highlight is Arizona vs. Utah. 4 verts vs. cover-0, TMac lined up alone on a go ball vs. press = we're launching it Second highlight shows his potential as the X. Runs a backside in-cut and the Tampa-2 MLB sells out on the corner route, leaving his back to TMac. Tough over the middle, explosive after the play. Sees TMac doing a lot of what Mike Evans was asked to do in Tampa. Third highlight shows how effective TMac is in the redzone and it's his one-handed catch vs. Travis Hunter. Brings "indefensible plays." Has size advantage that can beat guys, can jump, and has ridiculous hands. Will help Bryce in year 3 as it will allow him to continue playing "fearless" like he did after coming back from benching. Highlights show where TMac fits and re-emphasizes how he's going to make things easier on go balls, dig routes, and in the redzone: Fourth highlight shows Bryce vs. ATL when he hit AT vs. AJ Terrell down the sideline. Bryce has to hold the single deep safety during his drop to give Thielen a chance (who is only 4yds off of the LOS when Bryce is throwing it). Registers the big-time throw attacking vertically. Fifth highlight is vs. KC on a blitz where Bolton is coming downhill while Karlaftis is dropping back over the middle. Has an in-route that has outside leverage with Chris Jones applying immediate pressure. Layered it over Karlaftis' head for the completion. Sixth highlight is the fade route TD to David Moore vs. Zona. in the redzone. David Moore was the X on this play. Thought this was interesting, especially considering recent conversations about Bryce's intermediate game needing to be better:
