MJ can’t afford a season of no one in the arena. He wants to tank but financially he can’t do it. He will screw up the tank job (or the nba will change the rules fuging up the Hornets chance of getting a franchise player again) by signing a fringe player giving them some wins

What do you expect MJ to do? They arent ever gonna be a title contender with the roster they have. They have horrible contracts with Batum and Williams which keeps them from being a major player in free agency. The worst position you can be in in the NBA is that 6-10 seed range where you arent competing for titles and you also arent bad enough to give yourself a good shot at lucking into a top draft pick. MJ doesnt wanna spend the luxury tax to roll out a .500 team and I dont blame him. Let Kemba walk, save the money, and tank until you can get those shitty contracts off the books

Unfortunately, you are correct.

Sadly he is though

Half of this fan base is alur what he did to Kemba

The other half is pissed how inept he is not trading him for anything

A team of nobodys winning 25-30 games wont get anyone excited

The NBA has created an increased environment where it's practically impossible for non-major market teams to compete. The max contract stipulation sucks ass. If you're not a marquee destination you have no shot at marquee FAs due to a false ceiling in the market. But, that's exactly what they want - marquee players in marquee markets. I would actually watch the NBA if they'd implement a hard cap and get rid of the max contracts to create parity. Franchises wouldn't be able to create super teams with three superstars.

Yep, only way to do it. You have to hit the lottery at the right time.

problem is I dont know a single guy whos going to be a sure fire stud going into the draft next year. This was the season to tank. Could have had a couple extra picks too if they traded kemba. Dumb dumb dumb, maybe one day curry or zion will step up and come home, but I doubt it.

They’re going to be top of the draft bad for more than one season I’m afraid.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
