Ill quote you in my simple report. The best player for the hornets was Simpson. If hornets....by some miracle stay healthy, Simpson will get 0 minutes on the season OR 2-3 minutes in a 50 point barn burner. That's summer league for you. Kon, much better with the ball, better passer, better deep 3 shooter, and bigger body than I thought. He never got a matchup with a decent NBAer player. He did look slow and to borrow a video game term- laggy at times trying to defend players that will never get NBA minutes. He's got to figure out how to defend with his limitations. Im not sure he will get over 15 minutes at the seasons start, just depends on the comments before this. The type of system will be important. If Kon is unable to guard players, they will iso him to death and destroy his confidence. It's starts all over for Kon. He picked up the slack for Simpson fading and was the tourney MVP. Sims scored the win the game before and Kalk had his best game at the end too. Maybe maybe maybe, these rookies will change the hornets for the better. My opinion- check back on Kon when the all-star break happens. He's 19 and repeat that until the ears hurt. I hope he's able to keep his confidence level high, the NBA will humble everyone. Lequeen James got drunk on every practice until he got better.

I know he faded hard, but the first couple games was the red rifle. Honestly he didn't lose the job, it was a car wreck that hurt his thumbs. Bro nearly all backups got major flaws, much more that Dalton. These QBs have found something to prolong careers, many are playing into late 30s. Arod is the oldest player in the league now, I think. Wilson is still getting jobs.

The D has no choice but be better. If they are close to this past year, after 6 games fired evero. I knew once Sean Payton let him go, that should have been enough on his worth. I thought he was one of the youngest rising stars in the league and he should have been the HC if Dave was the other option.....Then this past year happened.... I watched each week with NO improvments and nothing on smart game plans...... Just the worst defense in the Panthers history. I do not care if DBrown was a monster and DMVP of this group, make adjustments and figure it out. The best DCs always find ways, evero just put it on cruise and got nothing. He's also had a say in drafts and nearly all the FAs, thus far some school of the blind DC would have the same results. Just a big year and Im completely out of excuses. Plus I have a short hook if they are looking bad, in fact 4 games Im ready.

Im of the opinion that if your team is constantly either 2 or 5 wins at seasons ends.....I 100% retire from smack/trash talking other fans... I mean the best insult is "Your team almost lost to shitty Panthers!!!" LolZ!!! I mean..... I just stay silent. Side note I think you are waaaaaay too hard on Dalton in backup terms. He's lost some MPH, but he can still spin it for a few games. The league wide back group looks awful, glad him and BY are bros. He's a better Derek Anderson who was a great backup the first couple years here, he made a pro-bowl as a brown QB....that's almost HOF-worthily.....(jk)

I agree with the OL-RB crew. Just to toss this into the fire- Panthers are the only team to invest 8, 32, and 39 draft capital into the WR spot. No other team has used top picks like panthers only at WR.

New Orleans Saints and QB Tyler Shough reached agreement today on a fully-guaranteed $10.795 contract, per @ErikBurkhardt of @RocNationSports . At pick No. 40, Shough is the last player selected in the 2025 draft to secure a fully-guaranteed deal. The contract also includes annual Roster Bonus structure whereby Shough receives the majority of his compensation each year during the first week of training camp. Tyler was not the linchpin about others signing, but he was the last player to get a fully guarantee at 40th overall. Still 36(?) browns RB remains unsigned, he got arrested and it looks bad..... Plus this didn't last into the TC, I thought it could easily. Like 50/50 it would. Glad Nic is signed, details are not made public, sportac maybe right, its still sorta early- https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/player/_/id/97850/nic-scourton

While posters are still throwing punches with facts and opinions. AT was injured because he absolutely laid out for a perfect TD ball, gangster.

Looking like up til pick 37 are getting fully guaranteed deals thus far-(I bet 40 Tyler gets a full deal) https://x.com/MikeGarafolo/status/1946308964938809800 Phins and Seahawks traded up for their players and now gave them fully deals.

One thing I am surprised about is his passing and timing of the pass. He's much better than I thought in this regard. Smart passes while in a flow. He seems to have deep range on his 3 as well. I want to see him D up players that are not going to Amazon drivers in a few weeks. Spurs players did go at him some and he held up. It was a rough game, everyone going to need ice baths.

Kon best game, all quarters he played well Simpson was not his normal self, still the best Kalk good overall, best game too. Baugh just got mins and hit 3s in all of them. PJ Hall for the HOF!! Hornets in the playoffs!

Spurs put in the 3rd crew, hornets won this around 30 points. They should make the playoffs.

Spurs on a run

Such a rough game.

PJ Hall for the HOF, with the tip in!

They are up by 30 against a rough team.

11 just elbowed my hero Hall

Terrible basketball currently, clown music

KO Simpson is still the best player on the court.

Spurs STILL playing with elbows and bodying fools like a 90s pistons team.

The deal with spreading the cap hit over five years, is the cap increase around 10% per year(another formula). Soooooooooooooo if the cap is 150 this year and 225 in five years, the 20 million in the future is a lower cap hit due to growth. It's just another layer and the saints used that method to a master class with most of the contracts while Brees was passing for 5k.
