Also Rick Bonnell was on WFNZ today.  Started off by saying he had some good sources within the league that texted him last night.  Telling him to "start preparing ourselves for a life after Kemba Hornets."  Sounding like the momentum for him to return is deflating 

And also we Just about traded Kemba last year to the Cavs (for that 1st).  But we wouldnt budge unless they took Batum and thats where the trade fell through.  Said the Cavs were willing to take on Marvin but we wouldn't make the trade unless now they took Batum

We couldve fugging started a rebuild last year. And taken one of our contracts.  But we wouldn't Budge Just Because they wouldn't take Batum.  Now we're about to lose Kemba for nothing and still have All of those contracts

I heard that, too. All I could do was shake my head.  Completely overplayed our hand. Pathetic.

Woj bomb

About to be dark times here

I'd love if Kemba stayed, but Charlotte not just throwing the maximum amount of money they can at him from the word go is ironically the most fiscally responsible thing that they have done in years. Sure, you take egg on your face in not trading him at peak value and putting all of your eggs in re-signing him only for him to walk, but you give yourself a clear direction and this team needs that.

I have maintained that I would root for Kemba to get a title because he deserves one. Let me clarify that by saying, I will root for him to win a title at any team BUT Boston. I hate all those fans and all their teams. 

Don't do it, Kemba. I don't want to root actively against you.

This.

That pretty much seals it if true.  The only way we can give him that is if we go into the luxury tax.  And MJ has already has stated he will Not pay the luxery tax.

 

Its embarrassing.  This team couldve gotten something for him (a lottery pick) And gotten rid of a bigger contract (was reported today that Cavs wouldve taken Marvin off our hands for Kemba).  But we didnt accept.  Now we lose him for nothing.  Still handcuffed to those contracts.  With probably the worst roster in the league without him.  With the younger guys still a Long ways to go being groomed, including this years 1st rounder who theyve said will spend time in the G-league.  

This team is a dumpster fire right now

They have been a dumpster fire since Larry Bird’s group got screwed over when they had a better offer.

Bob Johnson was terrible and MJ is even worse.  Johnson seemed disinterested in the team and MJ is just a bad businessperson.  We have screwed up on drafts...overpaid for FA’s (when we can get them to come here)....and drastically overvalued our own mediocre talent with major contracts.

Certainly looks like they won’t resign him.  It sucks mostly because of the fact this team doesn’t appear to have a plan right now.  Seriously doubtful to me they can even pull of a rebuild in any coherent way.  Damn.

      Off Season Thread

      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.
