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.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      While you're correct, people are just sick of being told, "you don't understand this, you're dumb" despite what their eyes say. This applies to the Panthers and anything else in life. This board can be a miserable place, but this isn't the old days anymore because Social Media & Reddit have hijacked old-school forum users.  I have in the last year or so taken a massive step back from Social Media & Reddit. Deleted accounts on both, I only have X/Twitter now. But I was looking for an outlet for Panthers talk and I did not want to do that on X much at all. There are only two legitimate outlets for that I've found, here and SB Nation. SB Nation I used to partake in, but they absolutely bumble-f*cked the comments section, and I like the setup of the posts + comments, as opposed to article + comments. Also, as others have pointed out, being a Panthers fan has been a horrendous existence since Cam left. Just an awful crew of coaches, draft picks, trading away great players, etc. It's been miserable.  Ever since Tepper bought the team, I hoped that he commit to a full rebuild. He never did, he thought there were shortcuts and so did Rhule. This hamstrung us for years, and then he massively overstepped with the BY trade.  This ruined the team building, because there was no depth, and then it ruined nuanced BY discussions because of the insane haul we gave up. He will never live up to that, I think many people are finally wrapping their heads around that now which is good. The best thing for this board to get better is for the Panthers to win more, draft well, and to stay committed to crawling through this Andy Dufrense poop-pipe to escape the depths of NFL hell. It will be ugly and stink along the way, but you can see already this year if we commit to drafting then the team and the vibes can turn around quicker than you think.  I am extremely optimistic about the draft class this season, it's something to watch, talk about, and celebrate. It also gives Dan and I think by extension Dave Canales more of a leash, which I think we need to give them and grant them the time to turn this boat around.

      I was just dispelling the "he can't throw past 25 yards" focus jfra.
