Would you tank the season for Harrison Barnes?

I love the Bobcats, but we aren't getting anywhere with our current roster. I love the idea of getting a big time free agent, but when teams like the Knicks & Lakers will both be looking to add a max contract within the next two seasons, why would someone choose Charlotte?

I think we could probably put together a solid .500 team and maybe make the playoffs as a 7th or 8th seed, but is that good enough? I hate the idea of losing on purpose, but I'm so sick of mediocrity in Carolina sports. I'd rather they go all in for a legitimate super star potential player in HB40 instead of making the playoffs as an 8th seed and getting swept or not making the playoffs at all.

No, there is soooooooooooo much talent in next year's draft, if you believe everyone that came back and most of the top freshman will bolt, that you are gonna get a great talent anywhere in the lottery.

I never believe in tanking especially since we are in playoff contention. I hate getting the 7th or 8th and getting swept but I will never support a team tanking it.

Who else do you see? The guy is big and strong as an ox. Can score just about anyway and can overpower most PF's and many C's.

Howard probably has the best body that the NBA has ever seen. Sullinger has a lot to do before he can even enter the same planet as Howard in both looks and talent.

Are we sure we have our first round pick next year? I would hate to pull a Clippers and tank for somebody else. That said I would take Sullinger right now. It's a long time until the draft though.

As long as its top 14 they do, otherwise it goes to the Bulls for the TT trade.

      Poor kid. Here's hoping he someday gets a chance. In the meantime, someone else will be getting an opportunity and hopefully they can make the most of it.

      [The Athletic] Panthers’ offseason to-do list

      By Navy_football · Posted

      This is it. The Panthers don't have the draft picks or salary cap to approach the offseason position-by-position. That's for teams much further along. They'll have to address "mission areas" rather than individuals, and they'll need to be creative rather than taking a linear approach. I'd add "improve the pass rush: as 1B with "improving the run defense" as 1A. Trying to upgrade every weak position is just not feasible. It'll take 2 or 3 great drafts. For instance, a guy like Luvu that can play the run and rush the QB would be huge in both areas. A fix? No. But a definite improvement. We're focused on a WR1, when a guy like CMC would provide a playmaking option that defenses will have to account for in the passing and running game. And I think an explosive playmaker is more important than adding another guy that can catch the ball in traffic. We have that in spades. Can't solve this riddle in one offseason without taking away from current areas of strength. It's a puzzle that won't be easy to solve. And they'll need to be future focused while being current competent.  My opinions/approach: I'm thinking the focus should be on defensive players that are good at both the run and pass pressure rather than specialists. A stout run-stopping OLB that can also pressure the QB is the better option for the Panthers right now, rather than a sack specialist. We had a pure pass rusher with Burns. Teams just ran the ball at him and took him out of games. A DT that can consistently get in the backfield and disrupt plays rather than a run stuffing NT is probably a better option for the Panthers right now too - Mason Graham. That addresses both the pass and run. Neither of these players would have great numbers, but they'd improve the defense and force offenses to scheme rather than just impose their will. That's when we'll see what Evero is really about. A later round speed WR that forces defenses to keep a safety over the top would really open up the offense - a Ted Ginn Jr type. Maybe a true pass receiving RB that can make guys miss in the open field. These guys aren't usually conventional early round draft picks but they'll improve the team in mission areas rather than focus areas.
