Batum to Hornets, Hendo + Vonleh to Portland

Maybe it means we are going with the small ball trend... wouldn't mind seeing Batum and MKG in the same lineup as our forwards

That could certainly be a possibility. Both athletic players that should be able to play as part of a small line up. Batum also gives us a clutch 3 point shooting to spread the court. 

With Stephenson and Henderson gone, we're going to have to find a SG. Could be an indication we will target Hezonja (if he falls) or Booker in the draft, and perhaps if we have the cap space, Wes Matthews could be a good addition at SG.

I feel like we got screwed unless we end up receiving a draft pick because Vonleh has potential and we don't have much depth/ talent at PF. Hendo has been a decent back up and has shown he can start when injuries occur. Maybe we will draft a PF but why would we need a SF when we already have MKG? If Vonleh ends up being a good player I will be very mad. Honestly I am starting to question our front office. I do hope we have saved some cap room but doubt it.

Should be noted too...Batum is in the last year of his contract.  So, we just gave up Vonleh for either..

 

1.) A Rental.  Please God no.

2.) A good player who could command 15 million a year in 2016 when the cap jumps.

3.) An expiring deal/good player...who could be trade bait if the Hornets pull a Bobcats/Hornets next season.

Baum is exactly what we needed he can easily move to sg. Good 3 point shooter. Good defender. Should fit in well. Also I wouldn't be suprised of there is a pick dealt in that trade as usually that comes out later. You all hate projects. We get rid of one and you hate that we gave up too early. Seriously huddlers, stop whining and nut up for your team. Any move they make I support, even if I don't like it. If you just want to be a negative fugger than be a fan of another team. Literally nothing is stopping you. I feel like you guys just want attention and post bad crap. Stop for real. If Jeremy Igo moderated this he wouldn't deal with this cap and just ban. I'm not saying you can't like the moves we make but don't just say "putting one in the, about to say goodbye to my kids for the final time." Jesus it's bad on this sub forum

I wonder how Henderson feels not long after opting in for the 15-16 season?

He could have picked anywhere he wanted to go, but chose to opt in and stay here. Then he gets traded. Be interested to see how he reacts and players in Portland.

    • 4610 total yards 27 total touchdowns 8 yards per attempt. Completion percentage was usual Cam ie mediocre or below at best at 57.7 and 86.2 passer rating. But the man scored points and moved the ball at will often. Compared to 2652 total yards 21 total touchdowns 6.3 yards per attempt completion % 60.9 82.2 passer rating. Let's just not do things like this. We can acknowledge Bryce improved (from realistically a bottom 5 QB) and hope he can work his way within the top 15 this season without dragging Cam Newton into it and unintentionally diminishing him. That's all I got to say. Carry on.
    • I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!
    • Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.
