will FAs want to come to Charlotte now?

[bLACKpANTHER]

i probably am over-reacting to the blowout, but yeah- thats how i feel now.. unless we break the bank on someone and overpay, its impossible for decent players to want to come here IMO

[GamecockSmitty4]

Yep. We have the $ and we're not far off. We need a SG who can handle the ball and will shoot 3's (looking at you Hendo) and a bench that won't let the other team go on a 20-4 run.

 

Also, we got screwed at the end of the season. The Cats could have beaten (or at the very least kept it close in a long series against) any other team in the East. But, of course, we get screwed to get the Heat.

There's still a large amount of teams FAs would rather play for but you're getting closer. I think it's going to take a BIG NAME draft pick to really get FAs to want to play here.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Yes, if we pay them.

[SuperJTheGreat]

not after us getting our asses smacked up and down the court.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

I really think we need that superstar so my initial reaction is to throw the kitchen sink at Melo.

I think we learned today that a good offense is better than a good defense.

We need a guy that can take a game over and Melo is a guy capable of doing that.

If he says no then he says no, but it wouldn't hurt to try.

melo wants to win a chip. he aint coming to charlotte unless we have a steph curry and al jefferson on board. 

[Password is Taco]

hendo needs to go. hes pathetic. we need a good SG that can create his own shot

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

I was actually just saying that to someone.

We need Melo and Steph lol.

Fwiw, he ain't winning one in NY. They have no money to build around him.

[MedellinHeel]

that is why he is leaving them. if he is smart he will go to the Clippers. 

 

Paul

Griffen

Melo

 

yikes

[Rise of The Hive]

Let's face Big Al is probably the top end for us.

Lol no one is going to play for the Clippers now.

[PiratePanther189]

First of all, Melo isn't going anywhere near LA unless he's going to be a Laker next year. The Clippers don't have near the cap room to sign Melo.

 

Second of all, none of you are being halfway decently realistic in this topic. Oh wow, we can't beat the 2 time defending NBA champions while our best player is on one leg and can't defend anything. Apparently that means everyone sucks now and we're screwed.

 

Being in the playoffs this year shows 1st off how great of a coach Steve Clifford is and secondly how great of a star Big Al is. Just because we can't constantly compete well with the Heat, something very few teams can do, doesn't mean we're screwed. This is great experience for all of the young talent involved.

Common misconception. We obviously don't have the money to build around him either.
