Brian Windhorst was just on Rusillo and Kannell, and when asked what's the craziest numbers he's heard, he said don't hold him to it, but from what he's heard Ryan Anderson is looking at 20M per.  He then said Marvin is being duscussed at 17-18M per.  He was then said Bazemore...  Rusillo said, "thats who we were waiting for!  15 Million?"  Windhorst said he thought he was a little low.  They all bust out laughing, and he says "16-17 per."

I knew some of the numbers would be bad with the cap increase, but yeesh...  and as much as i appreciate Marv, no thanks...

He's definitely not worth 18 million, although that may be his market value.

I wouldn't pay him over that early bird rights "max" of $12.25 million. Definitely don't want to have to clear cap space to sign Marvin to a $17-18 million deal. Maybe we can offer him a longer contract (not ideal) over a shorter contract with more money per year.

Do we really need another power forward when we have Zeller and Kaminsky. I know Zeller is listed as a Center but in the NBA he should be a power forward. If the Hornets want to continue developing their young bigs they should avoid Marvin Williams and use that money on a Center.

Kaminsky and Zeller are pretty ambiguous players and it becomes a challenge when defending.

Kaminsky, offensively, is more of the stretch 4 (or at least in the process). Defensively he doesn't have the athleticism to guard the 4 consistently and still a work in process down low. Cody, on the other hand, is more versatile. He does better down low on both ends.

I think we forget how good Marvin is as a defender. One reason why I wouldn't mind him back at $12.25 million

Marvin laid back and did nothing in his first year of his contract with us and when the contract year rolled around he magically started balling. I would not trust signing him.

I'm not sure players think that. I don't think it's that straight forward. 

Not saying I'd throw $18 million at him (would only use his EBR "max") but I think he continues where he left off last year.

Though I disagree about him as a player and about what he would do once he was signed I will say that 10 million would be fair for him per year. Nothing more. That is more than his current deal is.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      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.

      Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.
