Too early, but should things continue this would definitely be a possibility.

The problem is you're going to run into a situation like the Braves are in right now. If you trade Al, you might as well tear it all down with the exception of the youngins and hope they develop enough so by 2016 you have a young core and cap space in a bad east to pitch to Steph a la Cleveland and LeBron.

The problem with that is Cho is not going to be the guy that tears down what he just built, so he would probably have to go.

God between the braves, hornets and panthers I'm ready pull my eyes out. I expected this year to be one of the best sports seasons for me ever (Braves coming off a 96 win season, Panthers off a 12 win season, and the return of the hornets) but the whole year has gone to poo.

Dan Uggla and Bj upton cost us a Heyward extension.

Just...I can't...that's just terrible...

On a positive note, should the hornets be in a position to sell off players, they already have a young core in the wings and the contracts they have on the books aren't exactly albatrosses (somebody will want to buy low on Kemba if he's made available. That's been the MO of the Kings for a couple years, and Hendo can be a throw in to match salaries.)

The Hornets section is a dumpster fire, did half of you start watching basketball last year?

Are you kidding? Chuck has actually gone away from his emotional posts and folks are dropping knowledge like it's going out of style.

Roster talk is a year round thing, and with Al surely opting out after this season it is interesting to think about.

Trade him for who?

 

It's a bit early, these guys have to learn to play together.  This isn't the NFL.  I'm a bit worried, yes, but it's still early.  

 

For a minute I thought I was in the Panthers section. This place is a damn abomination right now.

Pretty much how I feel also. I will say this, if Al doesn't start showing some intensity on the boards or defensively, I want him gone if we can get a good trade. He looks like he doesn't give a poo out there on the court.

      Jalen Ramsey

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, I get why the media and some NFL and Carolina fans are saying that we don't have a real chance, but as many Huddlers should know, we won't know what we really have in this team until probably late September or early October at the earliest. And I'm not trying to be a homer, I'm just looking at things historically. Obviously I'm also looking at Bryce's "palatable" improvement the last half of last season (including being the catalyst for hanging with and nearly beating the Super Bowl participants), and the new additions that we've acquired overall. I'm also looking at the beginnings of a culture change--even if perceptibly subtle--to some degree indeed may take a foothold if things start falling the right way. But, overall, I'm still cognizant of the realization that things could just go south and that perhaps that Bryce could revert and flop, or that D & D (Dan and Dave) are not the answer, but I still am not ready to say "we're far away." Hell we could be close, albeit with growing pains, but even if we're on the course to bring legit in 2026, then guys like Ramsey would be welcome additions this season. That's just my take on it. I don't think we'll know that we're far away until some point in the season. If we can compete in the South...who knows?

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      You guys remember when the narrative on here was that Bryce would be chronically injured in the NFL due to his size and Anthony Richardson would be super durable due to his? You remember when the narrative was that Bryce was physically incapable of throwing a ball further than 20 yards in the NFL? You remember “I’ll stop complaining when he throws for more than 200 yards and looks like an NFL quarterback”? You remember when 60 sacks was his fault and not the offensive line, slow WRs, and terrible scheme? Pepperidge Farm remembers. It will always be something for some people. Whatever insanity they come up with will be quickly dropped to move on to the next thing. Bryce could have an MVP Super Bowl winning season and they would complain that we can’t run the tush push with him. It will always be something.

      For the Panthers fans still low on Bryce and demanding that he be a top-10 QB this upcoming season: What stat(s) will you need to see? Not the vibe you want, but rather what does he need to be top-10 in specifically? Passing yards? Completion percentage? Win-loss record? PFF grades? EPA? CPOE? Asking because this was asked before and... well... it ended up that the folks down on him didn't care about the numbers as much as they cared that they just couldn't get passed his size regardless of how he performed. It would be nice to get a straight-forward answer to that without the usual deflection and redirecting.
