they brought back shumpert 4 yr 40 million as well 

 

when they resign james they are gonna be at like double the projected cap 

Exactly how much is the cap going up?! After they give LeBron his max deal they'll be paying LeBron, Love, Kyrie, Thompson, Shumpert, Varejao nearly $500m.

This is why I'll never enjoy the NBA, there should be a max cap, none of this luxury bs. Implement a max cap, if you go over you lose draft picks and lose your top salaried player while still paying him money owed off the cap. 

Actually, it should be the opposite. The limit on salaries is what allows players to take pay cuts and join forces. If LeBron hit the open market and was allowed to get his real value to a franchise  (50-75 million a year) the playing field would level out as teams prioritized according to their budgets, similar to baseball.

That's my problem with baseball as well, how can a team like Houston only fielding a $44 million team compete against a $235 million LA Dodgers team? The problem with the NBA and MLB is over saturation of the market. The NFL is lucky it can draft from as talented of a field of players from college that 32 teams can be respectable. The MLB is basically 20 competitive teams and 10 farm teams while the NBA should probably only field 24 of so. Players like James distort the market because while he should earn $75 million a year based on his impact, he can take less due to endorsements and the endorsements he brings to teammates. I just don't want a scenario in the future where a team like Brooklyn fields a $200 million roster and Charlotte fields a $60 million roster.

Actually, that $44m Houston team is better than the $235m Dodgers. You kinda disproved yourself.

      Off Season Thread

      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.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      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.
