Mine is Eddie Jones. He was only here for a season and a half but he was the coolest. He had a really fluid game and although he was never dominant he was good at everything but ball handling and was a saint off the court.  Great player and a great role model. Love playing with the 1997 LA Lakers in 2k14. Only wish they had 96 so I could have Van Exel too!

Man, its so tough...

Because of our history of so many great players but not ever retaining them, there were so many I loved at different points just the same.

Starting with LJ, arguably the first and biggest pro sports icon of the Carolinas. I loved Muggy so much that I cried when we traded him to GS.

I can't believe EJ was only here for a season and a half, it seems like it was so much longer. I LOVED EJ! I remember being so excited when we got him because of all those highlight dunks he was racking up in LA. I truly feel he could've been a superstar had he stayed in Charlotte. I also will never forget him wearing those Jordan XVs with the cowl around the top. It was sick!

But for some reason, the two guys that may actually be my favorites, we're BDiddy and Glenn Rice. Just so many awesome memories of those guys, and they were so dominant for their time with us.

Baron Davis had as much talent as I've ever seen in a player. Physically dominant beast. He could post up, dunk over anyone and had some of the best (or at least flashiest) ball handling skills.

 

He's definitely up there for me as well.

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
