you can go over the cap to sign your own FA back, deron, hump g wallace, and lopez were all FA.

There is an exemption called "bird rights" that allows teams to go over the salary cap and into the luxury tax. You have a player's bird rights when he is under contract for more than 3 years. If you trade for a player, his bird rights go with him. They traded for Williams, wallace, johnson, and they've had lopez under contract for more than 3 years. They can go over cap to sign those 4.

Basically they got to this point by trading the entire farm for deron williams and hoping they could convince him to resign. They then committed huge amounts of money to overpay wallace and take on johnson's bad contract to help convince williams to return. If he had left, they would have been stuck with a terrible team that was overpaying 2 veterans. They gambled hard and won, so congrats to them.

It's actually not a terrible thing for charlotte as they are going to have to pay out the ass for what is probably a 3rd or 4th place team, and we get part of that luxury tax money.

Meanwhile, the Lakers got Nash and could get Howard. Rumors now say they're eyeing Jamison, Brand, and O'Neal. And we all know about the Heat. The NBA is this close to being unwatchable. Why even bother if you aren't a fan of like three teams. As for the players who sign lesser contracts just to get a ring, is it still the same when you win? When your team is nearly an All-Star team?

      Bryce Young vs Saints analysis

      By d-dave · Posted

      I've watched and listened to several evaluations from the good ole youtubers.  From what I was able to watch, the first few drives before I left to do a job to the end of the game were very different for Bryce.  So he had a "good" game.  Which is great.  I love a win, period.  His WRs had some drops, thing ripped away, etc.  Not great, but a W is a W, right? I think the Panthers have to start Bryce.  You have to see if he continues to build on the good plays and make fewer and fewer bad plays.  No QB is going to play a perfect game.  But we need to continue to see Bryce make plays.  Does he have the ability to will his team to victory?  I'm not sure. I'm still in the Bryce is a backup QB camp.  I'm glad he had a good game, I glad we won, but I need to see more before we make a decision to keep or trade him.  Playing Andy literally does NOTHING to help you for the future.  Andy may not even resign with the Panthers.  We could be out both starting QBs by the time FA/Draft season hits. Ultimately, this is a Dan Morgan and Dave Canales issue.  Can they get value out of Bryce to help them improve the total roster?  Is there a FA QB who would be an upgrade?  A surprise cut or post season trade?  Or is there a QB at the top of the draft who they think they can mold into a high level starting QB?  I don't know. I do know I want to see more of Bryce Young and more out of him on the field.  I want to see the fire, the competitor come out.  I want him getting pissed.  I want him to grab his beanbag and tell us all he's the f'ing dude.  I just don't think we'll see that out of Bryce.  If not the fire, then let me see the ice - let me see the rattle proof dude who kills with accuracy and playmaking no matter how hot and crazy it gets.

      Ickey at LT and Brady as Center / Swing position player is more valuable to our team IMO

      Bryce Young QB School

      That's fair but signing a veteran like Justin Fields to a one year deal and drafting defense with our first is always an option two.  I personally don't think these QBs this year are top 10 worthy selections
