I think $10 million per is way more than he would get.  I am not sure he gets another NBA contract once his current one expires.  If he does it will be for around the minimum.

He is a mle player at this point

Dwayne Bacon needs more minutes.

He was crucial to the win tonight.

He hit some big shots and played some really good defense. In fact he was on Beal as Beal attempted and missed the game winning shot.

I'm not sure why he doesn't see more playing time. Every time I see him in the game I feel like he plays well.

Welp, kemba is gone. Back to back lotto picks. Whats the worst the Hornets can finish for lotto purposes. 

If we lose out we will be around pick 8-12 with a few extra percentage points of getting insanely lucky and jumping into the top 3.

It’s better to just go ahead and accept we will be picking 11th again so we can draft another guy that will barely play.

YAY! Another wasted season, which will lead to another wasted season when we are finally forced to tank. Instead of having one bad year and maybe some hope, we are going to have a bad season to pick a MEH player and tank next season. This is a so simple to see, and yet nobody in the Hornets' front office picked up on it. Mitch is obviously in a bad spot, so I tend to blame him less than I should.

Dell and Eric were still encouraging optimism at the end, saying "this isn't it.  Season's not over."

Man, I'm tired of the cycle.  We do this every year...  cheering, hoping, and pulling for our team to win, knowing they aren't very good.  And we get to the end, still hanging onto that thread of playoff hope, only for games like this to throw just how insultingly bad our team actually is in our collective faces.  And, then once we realize we're really just spinning our wheels on a treadmill of failure, we have to re-live all of those emotions all over again with the now added reality that we just screwed ourselves out of a high draft pick.  Smh...

After hearing him talk after he was hired, I really thought Borrego was different.  Nope.  Here we are again...  giving PT to guys based off incumbency rather than merit or potential.

Playoff hopes ending with last miami game in CLT, actually end when we choked away the game against the clippers in CLT a few weeks ago

we scored 15 pts in Q4 today...yet another dismal showing in crunch time

26-83 from field 31%...7-36 from 3 pt...just pathetic 

monk played 4 minutes. Bridges played 10

and Miami is not that good

if we could have gotten a couple of first rounders and some players in a Kemba trade we should have pulled the trigger

our team is an embarrassment...our players just totally suck

 

Yup.  It's a sad, harsh reality.

James Johnson, Waiters, and Whiteside looking like actual players, while guys like Marvin and Batum throw up wide open bricks.  And I know a lot of people like Lamb, but I'm just not a big fan...  when the momentum starts shifting in the opponent's favor, he seems always willing to help with settling for step back threes.  I believe Kupchack said after the trade deadline that Lamb was our second option...  welp, that sums up our team in a nutshell, I guess.

And as you said, still not playing our young guys.  I just don't get it.

      The Franchise guy Panthers 2025 deep dive overview

      By MHS831 · Posted

      His points are valid.  However, it seems a bit based on past performance and fails to take into consideration trends and conditions that might suggest growth in 2025.   For one, he breaks the team down by position and ranks them separately.  I guess that is a fair way to do it, but they are dependent upon each other. Last year, our DL sucked.  That impacts the rest of the defense.  With no internal pressure, the QBs simply step up to avoid the Edge rush.  I would have suggested that the internal DL is now featuring pass rushers and large people who can collapse the pocket.  Secondly, the LBs were not protected very well in 2024.  It is hard to see the holes and step up when a guard is in your earhole a second after the snap.  Finally, the defensive backs will be forced to make fewer tackles and they will be better in pass protection with a new and improved DL.    Canales made an interesting comment the other day, and I (from the outside looking in) feel the same way:  (paraphrasing) "I have never seen a better group of rookies."   I think the biggest concern is the learning curve.  How long before these rookies are ready?   I am bullish on this team.  I think they win 3 of their first 4 and get confident.  The get the fans behind them.  From there, they win 6 of the remaining 13.  If they stay injury free, they have an outside shot at the NFC south.

      Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.

      I assumed he was retiring but apparently he plans on playing multiple more seasons.  Florida is gonna have trouble holding onto everyone.  Happens to all teams that have that much success.
