REPORT: per Albert Breer, Panthers have been most aggressive team in attempting to trade back

by definition that is getting fleeced

Let’s ask AI:

If I bought something for 1 dollar that is really worth 99 cents, am I getting fleeced?

It depends on a few things:

 

  • What is it? If it’s something like a plastic spoon, a single sticker, or a small candy that usually costs a few cents when bought in bulk, then yeah—you might be overpaying.
  • Where did you buy it? A convenience store, vending machine, or tourist spot might charge $1 for the convenience or novelty.
  • Are you okay with the price? Sometimes people pay more for ease, packaging, or just not caring to hunt for a cheaper option.

 

 

So, are you getting fleeced? Maybe a little. But sometimes a dollar isn’t worth the hassle of worrying too much—unless it starts adding up.

 

What did you buy?

When the margins are already razor thin then parting with an asset for less then it's worth is the epitome of getting fleeced

I hate that we are broadcasting this. This is like that snotty kid you knew in 3rd grade being like “My lunch is gross…wanna trade?” 
 

No Aiden. No one wants to trade their pizza for your nasty wheat germ and nutritional yeast flake sandwich. especially not after you told us how it gives you hives and smells like balls. 
 

we should be telling people how excited we are to have such a good pick. We are in the perfect position to pick any number of amazing players. I don’t want to hear anything from Morgan unless it is how valuable the 8th pick is.

In elementary school in the 80s  There was a kid that loved cafeteria corn  and I’d trade him my portion for his square pizza.

We may not be broadcasting this, he said sources didn't say from which team.  Most likely the Panthers are calling around and his source let him know

Some folks think that getting 99¢ instead of $1 is getting fleeced. 

The issue is the person who is the one spending the assets has a history of making bad selections both as GM and an assistant GM.

You can't put Fitterers picks on Morgan.  Morgan has 1 year of history to look at and we don't know how any of last years draft picks will pan out

    • 1) This is their last chance to get decent draft compensation. Is that better? A team who trades for a player on an expiring contract (the 5th year option in this hypothetical) is not going to give up much. The trade is essentially for the first right to sign the player to the second contract. 2) Compensatory pick is dependent on net free agency outcome and performance. A potential, late 3rd round pick next year is not as valuable as a 2nd round pick this year. These are forward-thinking roster moves that winning franchises make. I hope that makes sense to you.
    • That couldn't be any more incorrect. They can still pick up his 5th year option and then trade him next offseason.  They can still decline the option, let him walk in FA next year, and as long as he has a good season will likely bring them back a 3rd round comp.  And they could do either of the above and then still franchise tag him afterwards and then trade him for what would be a really good return, assuming he continues to progress and stay out of trouble. All of this while he's only costing them $5.4 million against the cap and trading him would only get them $3 million in cap savings. It makes zero sense to trade him this offseason unless they have serious concerns about him or unless they get a godfather offer they can't turn down.
