Despite my assertions that Borrego shouldn't get a pass I would say that it is very likely orders were sent from above that Batum must be started --- lest Mike Jordan be even more embarrassed by extending that ridiculous contract.

Today Batum took 2 shots, made 0.

0 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, $292,683 (today alone)

What a joke.

I'm probably in the minority but I don't think Jordan has as much input as you would think. I'm sure the only orders he gave were do what ever you have to do to make the playoffs. JB being a first year coach is / was probably nervous and just went with the vets because they're less of a risk and he thought they gave him the best chance to win. It was like any chance the young guys got this season, as soon as they made one mistake, they were banished to the bench. The overpaid vets on the other hand had nothing to worry about.

Batum was 100% Cho and it is the reason he is no longer employed.

And now the Celtics are down 14... might be too little too late for the Hornets.

So I take it we are out with the same record as Detroit?  Actually just found it...the Charlotte finishes 8 with the same record as Detroit and Miami we are in.  We need Detroit to lose and us win 2.

Sure...but u never know.  They have lost 10 of their last 15 games.

New York has quit, they are in the driver seat for Zion, they don't care.  The Memphis game is in Detroit, they likely get that one.

All the squandered games and big blown leads early in the season coming home to roost.  Fire Borrego and get us a coach with balls that will play the guys who give us the best chance to win.  Let the young hungry guys compete, not Batum who doesn't care, or Marvin and his broke ass jumper, or Cody and his small-big man deficiencies.  Goddammit I'm pissed.

And you, Mitch Kupchak "we don't need to make any trades, we trust in our vets to get us to the playoffs".  Guess what asshole, since giving Bridges, Bacon, Graham, and Frank more minutes, the team has gotten off its ass and competed.  No one running this team has a damn clue.  Kemba is the only veteran I trust and he's about to break someone's bank.

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
