Yeah, this offseason is shaping up to be a shitstorm thus far.

Noah was the big I really wanted and felt best fit here.  Now, the other "top tier" bigs left are down to Dwight and Whiteside, both of whom will command more money than Noah, and considering their respective histories, both would be horribly risky to invest that much money into.

I think ultimately, we may be left standing at the altar when it comes to Batum and any potentially significant FA signings.

Gotta adjust thinking when it comes to numbers though, since the cap has skyrocketed

Gonna catch some hell but if we could get Howard and Batum, that would be a haul

Agreed, except the last I heard, Howard was looking for 30M per.

Were about to give 15 million to freakin Marvin Williams.......................................................

And my wallet closes for them for a while if they do that. Remember the 1st year of Williams' contract? When he didn't care and played like crap only to wake up in a contract year? sigh :+(

Hopefully the Whiteside/MJ connections pay off.  18 million for Noah? Yikes. I get that A LOT of stupid money will be spent, but Noah is going from making 12 million in his prime (where he was a borderline All-Star at best), to being an old, injury prone, non offensive threat making 18 a year...

 

Lol.

Im ok with resigning Marvin but only like a million dollar raise. I dont care about his cap percentage or any of that crap he is worth about where hes getting payed now at 7 million not much more than that.

It sucks feeling helpless in free agency down here in Charlotte. 

But nothing can feel worse than the way Knicks fans have to feel all the time , top market and still cant sign anyone. If Melo wanted to play with Drose and Noah he should of left a couple years ago to Chicago and he would have had a chance not bring in all these guys years later to NY

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
