Marvin is better than McBob, & worth what he's making. The problem is he doesn't fit this team at all. He's a SF, not a PF. Especially when he's beside Big Al. If he's playing with a Center that provides a defensive presence you can play him at PF.

It's not his fault he's playing out of position. This is a terrible roster fit-wise.

"Better than" is a relative term in this case.

If you're skill set doesn't fit what a particular team or company does than you are not "better".

Personally, I think we should have just given Cody the reigns. If he works out great, if not then sign Millsap in the offseason.

14 mil is a lot to throw out to a guy with a very limited skill-set.

He was 3/5 from the field. What do you want? How much do you expect him to score when Lance, Kemba, & Al are all taking 15-20 shots a game?

McBob is so overrated on this board. He was a black hole on defense, couldn't rebound, a poor 3pt shooter despite getting wide open looks, etc. He made flashy passes and flashy dunks off broken plays. That's literally all he was good at. And he's making more than Marvin.

Lol @ this post.

Marvin sits in the corner and shoots three's. He has no ability to beat anyone off the dribble even though he's matched up against slower power forwards. He literally has no feel for our offense and it's clear that his catch and shoot skill set doesn't fit what we need at the power forward position. Notice down the stretch tonight it was Zeller getting the burn due to his ability to facilitate and move the ball in our offense.

As for McBob being a black whole on defense... Did you even watch any games last year? McBob's and MKG's wing defense literally made Al look like a competent defender last year. On top of that he was our point guard (forward), the offense ran through him. Sure swinging the ball sounds easy, but when you have Lance out there fumbling passes and Kemba going iso every possession, it's pretty easy to see why McBob was so important. Not to mention McBob is a better rebounder than Marvin (check the stats) and while he wasn't a great three point shooter, he was an efficient offensive player. Finally, he's making more total than Marvin but cap wise Marvin is making $2 mil more (which is the only thing that truly matters).

Oh and did I mention, even Clifford and Jordan said McBob is what made all the parts fit together.

That speaks for itself.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By strato · Posted

      Yep. I was hoping for and calling for a day three guy. But I didn’t research the position to say if we should or should‘t have jumped at a particular guy at a particular spot.    And everything I read said it was a poor draft for RBs depth wise. I guess when Seattle takes a backup RB in the 1st, that kind of backs that up.    I definitely think we should keep 4 running backs and if King can play well enough then keep him too.    I believe I heard Canales say we are a running team (talking about drafting a WR he will be needing to block as well as catch). Well if we are gonna be a running team by identity we don’t need to stock the WR room to overflowing. If one room has to sacrifice, it should not be the RB room given our circumstances.

      Dan had a great draft

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By 45catfan · Posted

      I just saw the funniest thing...or very disappointing, depending how you handle misery. A guy on YouTube did a 2027 'way too early' mock draft.  If I told you the simulator has the Panthers selecting in the top 10 , what would you say?  If I told you it was pick #8 and only two QBs were taken in the top 7, what would you say?  If I told you this dude had us taking a defensive player, what would you say?
