See, I don't think that is necessarily true. Al Jefferson has all the leverage because the Bobcats offered him a 4yr/60m contract, which is exactly what he wants...

If the Mavericks don't land Howard, Jefferson can go to Cuban and say look MJ is offering me a 4yr/60m contract; if you don't come close to that or match it... I'll sign with Charlotte.

So Cuban gives Jefferson a 4yr/12.8m contract and since Jefferson wants to win, he signs with Dallas.

It's a very simple concept that many money driven players use.

 

 

The thing is the Mavs would have no money left and no starting caliber PG, no starting caliber SG, an old and aging SF and PF plus no depth. They have a bunch of guys making 700k that shouldn't get playing time, Marion, Dirk and Carter = that's it. There's not enough quality players that's going to be left in FA to improve the team much more. The Mavs aren't going to win much even if they sign Jefferson. 

 

The Mavericks lineup would be the following and they would have roughly 4 million dollars to fill out the rest of the roster.

 

Pg- Josh Akognon

Sg-Vince Carter

Sf- Shawn Marion

Pf- Dirk Nowitzki

C- Al Jefferson

 

That's not going to win in the west, lmao.

Hey old hornets fans that were bitching and complaining. We changed the name to the Hornets, went out and drafted a big man in Cody Zeller and then went out and spent Big bucks on an all star caliber player. Now all of your complaints are invalid so It's time to put your money where your mouth is and buy some freaking tickets like you said you was going too. 

 

^ That's what this is all about. 

 

 

 

So out of those that don't have tickets and were complaining, are you now going to buy tickets?

It's a poorly-kept secret that several clubs are willing to "struggle" next season in hopes of winning The Andrew Wiggins Sweepstakes in next year's draft. 

But the Charlotte Bobcats are not committed to taking that route. Hence, their courtship of free-agent center Al Jefferson. 

Jefferson had dinner with the Bobcats Tuesday night and spent much of Wednesday meeting with team brass, sources said. Jefferson is obviously interested, but he wants to wait and see how the Dwight Howard situation plays out before he signs anywhere.

I already buy 12 game ticket packs to the back court club, so now all of y'all that wanted AL need to pull your weight.

 

I wasn't talking about you, I was talking to the Hornets fan club that refused to buy tickets when it was called the Bobcats. Then complained because the team wasn't good or making moves to get better. Now all those complaints are out the window, so I want to see how many are actually following through and buying tickets.

 

 "Also, it don't matter where you live if you said something about buying tickets. It's put up or shut up time" <This is what the Bobcats have been telling you all off season.

If dallas just matched our offer would then every have the money to sign their rookies?

 

They would have around 4 million left over with 8 players on the roster, 2 capable All Stars, 2 players being good backups. The rest pretty much scrubs. I honestly think he would have just as good of a chance at winning with Charlotte.

I just can't see him going to Dallas. I think he is just holding out in case a team extremely over pays because D12 is off the market. For some reason I get the feeling Big Al wants to be the star of a team.

No doubt, I live in Raleigh, spend most of they year in Lynchburg, Va and make the 3.5 hour drive down 12 times a year for basketball and 8 times a year for football (I don't do preseason, we give those tickets away lol). It's time to put up or shut up from the Charlotte fan base.

      We looked like a competent NFL team PIE thread

      By Prowler2k18 · Posted

      We could easily pick apart yesterday’s game: dropped passes, blown coverages, bad tackling and red zone issues to name a few. But it was clear that this wasn’t the same team from earlier in the season. They fought back and hung with the champs until the end. That’s what I was excited to see and it gives me hope that we’re on the right track.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      I think BY played well today and exceeded expectations. I will temper future expectations as he has to string together many games of consistent quality. One game doesn’t convince me that he is a franchise QB or even a guy you want to stick with for another season. One game doesn’t erase all the negative play and limitations from the past couple of years. I hope he balls out and continues to get better but for me the verdict is still out   That said, I think he gave the team and fans hope yesterday which is a lot more than what we had when we woke up Sunday morning.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Ricky Prickles · Posted

      He was vastly improved today and we need to see more of Bryce the rest of the season to continue evaluate him in order to decide what the heck to do with him at the end of the season. He must play at least like this and improve more from here the rest of the season in order for me to keep him. No more 123 yard passing games and want to see at least this output weekly from him. If this is Bruce improving slowly over time then Canales is even better with developing QB's than I thought he was but still too early to tell and we need to see him the rest of the way as he has at very least earned back the starting gig moving forward.
