Excuse me while I throw up a lot....I give the off season a D+ and that is just because I hate giving my own team an F-. Resigned two guys and downgraded at three other spots. Could I be wrong sure but chances are we will miss the playoffs this season and be back in the lottery next year in the draft. Being a fan of this team is so hard but I stick to it somehow. Numb to the pain I guess.

If you're so confident in your assessments then let's put something of value on it. I'll take make the playoffs. What do you say?

Curious on the money and length. 

 

Last guy we got from LA on the cheap worked out decent for a year . 

 

We are not bringing him to be the guy , just a 1 year stop gap most likely and we will have some money to play for a big fish in free agency next year with the Core of MKG , Kemba , Batum. 

 

Were looking at a late playoff spot at best and mid lottery at worst .  I see a 7-8th seed if this team plays hard every night which sucks but hey thats our destiny unless we can land a top 10 NBA player which well some teams have multiple so its gonna be hard but were not the only team in this position.

This team could have easily finished 3rd last year with a healthy MKG, do we really think they've changed so much for the worst that they're now going to not even make the playoffs? Who got better besides the Celtics? Miami is blaa. Atlanta is meh.

I am giving my opinion of what will happen not set in stone as nothing is he could ball out but chances are he doesn't as he has had PLENTY of chances. I will say this I will buy Hornets gear next year if they make the playoffs again AND make it to the second round. Progression not regression right?

For 5mil this isn't that terrible. He has basically fallen off a cliff the pas few seasons but he is at worst case another big body to throw out there, and despite all his struggles he shoots free throws well which is a huge deal for a big man so we don't have to worry about hack a Hibbert. Maybe Ewing can get him past whatever his issue is and he can morph back into a 12/8/2 guy in 30 minutes a game.

Ha....

You know what....I'm not even going to go there. Happy 4th, buddy. 

Why not? I am saying if they make the playoffs and get better as a team by making it past their usual bump in the road the last decade plus then I will buy their gear. How about I share my photo of the gear? If they do not make it to the 2nd round then you buy some BOBcat gear? Agreed?

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      I mean, no I’m not going to panic when he got 2 Qs and looked great in 1 and looked not great in another (let’s not mention the drop).    Yeah we finally have a team that would be considered average offensively around him. Let’s roll this season.

      The woe is me everything but Bryce sucks mantra is stale af my friend. Look nobody here is going to argue with the fact Frank Reich was not a good head coach. At the same time. Bryce Young is now in his second season with his second coaching staff and a handpicked young offensive head coach who has been known for working with QB's such as Baker and Geno. As far as the offensive pieces around Bryce we have the 4th highest salary cap allocation (that might be even higher now after the new Moton deal) dedicated to the OL in the entire league. We have 2 first round WR's one of them 8th overall the first time we've ever selected a WR that high in franchise history. And the fact of the matter is Bryce Young did not have a good preseason. It's not the first time it's happened either. We all hope to see he and the rest of the team flip a switch in week 1. But we should all be able to agree that the offensive performances we've seen from the entire QB room (Bryce included) in preseason was simply unacceptable.

      We have seen Bryce play… what… 9 games with AT BEST what one would consider NFL average WRs? You just can’t see the forest for the trees and keep going back to your lazy take of revisionist history.    he looked AWFUL Y1 with the worst coaching I’ve ever seen in the NFL and one of the weakest WR rooms I can recall. He looked awful first half of y2 and great second half of y2 with average coaching and average skill position. I don’t know where this elite talent argument even comes from.
