In a market that just saw DeMarre Carroll get 4/60, this is a steal. Only going to get better, and easily the most impactful player on the squad.

With less future cap space to work with, I wonder if we'll start seeing some more trading from Cho and company. Some tough decisions need to be made now.

Funny that Steph revealed today he never plans on testing free agency so they say "screw it, let's pay some people." I would've been ok with a 2 year deal. But he is made of glass and just lost his shooting coach. This was an overpay and a perfect example of why they aren't anywhere close to being better than mediocre.

I'm sorry, but nothing in this post is close to being correct...

1. As far as Steph goes, he said he's not thinking about free agency right now. And why would he when he has a few years left?

2. You clearly don't understand how the NBA free agency market works, because 4/52 is about the going rate for a wing player these days. With MKG's improvement to go along with how much he already impacts the game, he could be ready to cash in on a max deal at the end of this deal.

3. MKG is the reason this team wins more than 15 games a year, not the other way around.

Also, this isn't the NFL. Any GM can easily turn over a roster overnight to accommodate any acquisition they'd like to make. If a star expresses interest, you make it happen. Look at the Cavs' payroll as evidence.

Awesome!  Came here to post the Steph news, and this is the first I'm seeing of this...  I like it.   With the cap growing exponentially, this is a bargain.  BUT, I want to know if this takes us over the luxury tax, because if so, I have no doubt in my mind that we're making some more deals because MJ does not want to pay that unless the team proves they are a contender first.

1. Steph said free agency isn't appealing to him and the Bay Area is "home to me and my family." It's not happening.

2. I'm one of the only guys that ever posts in these topics other than you. No need to tell me I don't understand how NBA free agency works. I realize that guys get waaaay more than they're worth if that's what you're saying. I realize Valanciunas just got $16 million per year in his deal.

3.I just don't think it's smart to commit $13 million per year to a guy that has missed over 20 games the past 2 seasons. 

Don't be rude and give me the "this isn't the NFL" stuff. I realize that and I can differentiate the two. I realize the NBA is player dictated. C'mon man, don't be insulting. I'm not an idiot. But you don't have to write a book explaining why we should give a guy $13 million for his defense and offensive potential. I don't dislike MKG. I just think it's an overpay.

Well again, with Curry, he's not thinking about free agency because it's not time for him to think about free agency. When the time comes, he will begin to think about free agency, and the NBA landscape could look very different in two or three years, and that includes the Warriors.

Apologies for the rudeness, I just get sick of folks always claiming "overpay" every time a contract is handed out. Given the market set this offseason, this is a great deal for a player who already impacts the game for this team and has a ton of room to improve. You'll take that guy on a second contract any time.

Also, as has been documented on here before, the franchise has not been successful because they cannot draft well at all and can't catch a break in the lottery (Fun fact: since 2004, Charlotte's lottery pick has never jumped up, only stayed the same as the odds or fallen.) Cap management has actually been one of the strong points of the franchise.

It's an extension (doesn't start until next season), so there's no bearing on this year's cap.

      A look at the team after the draft and udfa signings...

      By KillerKat · Posted

      My projection. I think at WR its time to go with youth. This means Moore should be the odd man out. Horn can return both punts and kicks and Tremayne is a better WR than Moore. XL gets one more year to prove himself, although I could see a trade in the future which would mean Moore could stay. For OL, I would like us to bring back Brady if we can. The RBs, Trevor can return both punts and kicks too. With the uncertainty of Brooks and Dillon, its hard to choose either one. I think the team would like for Brooks to have a breakout season to clear any uncertainty that he deserves a spot. For now, I have them both even and on the team. DL looks solid as well as OLB. Watch out for the UDFA of Aaron Hall and Isaiah Smith at OLB. They look promising and could knock someone off the team. ILB is still the biggest weakness on the team. We need to upgrade that any means necessary. CB is strong and Im praying to all the Gods that Wheatley beats out Scott at FS.  OFFENSE: WR: Tetairoa McMillan - *Chris Brazzell II* - Brycen Tremayne TE: Tommy Tremble - James Mitchell LT: #Rasheed Walker# - *Monroe Freeling* LG: Damien Lewis C- #Luke Fortner# - *Sam Hecht* RG: Robert Hunt - #Saahdiq Charles# RT: Taylor Moton - #Stone Forsythe# TE: Ja`Tavion Sanders - Mitchell Evans WR: Xavier Legette - Jalen Coker - Jimmy Horn Jr. QB: Bryce Young - #Kenny Pickett# RB: Chuba Hubbard - Trevor Etienne - #AJ Dillon# - Jonathon Brooks DEFENSE: LE: Tershawn Wharton - Bobby Brown III  NT: *Lee Hunter* - Cam Jackson RE: Derrick Brown - LaBryan Ray LOLB: Nic Scourton - Patrick Jones II  LILB: Trevin Wallace - Bam Martin-Scott - *Jackson Kuwatch* RILB: #Devin Lloyd# - Claudin Cherrelus  ROLB: #Jaelen Phillips# - Princely Umanmielen LCB: Jaycee Horn - Akayleb Evans RCB: Mike Jackson - *Will Lee III* - Chau Smith-Wade SS: Tre`von Moehrig - Lathan Ransom FS:  Nick Scott - *Zakee Wheatley* - Demani Richardson  SPECIAL TEAMS: K/KO: Ryan Fitzgerald P/H: Sam Martin KR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. PR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. LS: J.J.

      So is Legette getting traded?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      His contract is guaranteed.  Legette is just not where he needs to be mentally.  Not fully invested, it seems.

      Literally like Hill. He's not QB1 material (now or ever), but if we can turn him into a H-back and use him like  Swiss army knife, that's his ticket to make the roster.  H-back/emergency QB.  I wonder how good his hands are?  If they are at least above average by NFL standards then we can line him up in the backfield, in the slot, split out wide and of course, in the Wildcat.
