I hope we get Cousins if we are not trying to get a high draft pick. 

how much do we have left in cap room?

if we had close to $20mil in space:
Waive Batum's $27mil ($47 in space) and stretch it over 3 years which will be $9mil @ year bring us to $38mil
then we sign Hayward for $30mil = $8mil left?? am i doing the math correctly?

If we still have around $8mil - then Harry Giles III should be doable.. I think Cousins would just not be what we want to do.. we want to run and gun and Boogie would slow things down in the halfcourt.

Not mad at signing Hayward (we needed a vet with Marvin gone) but the Batum part sucks!!

I'm really seeing this as us moving Miles and I love Miles and wanted to see him this season on fast breaks with Melo..

PG- Graham - Ball
SG- Rozier - Monk
SF- Hayward - Martin
PF- Bridges - McD
C- Washington - Zeller

I think Bridges at the 4 and PJ at the 5 would work, especially in today's NBA.. kept them in the weight room a bit and they should be good.. Bridges has always been a tweener at the SF position..

A 6'8 center?? That didn't work with the best scorer in the league in Houston... 

What's best for this team and Miles is using him Terry and maybe Cody to get a vet C and more draft assets...

They are currently trying to move Zeller, Rosier and Graham. Also still going after Westbrook from a report I just saw in twitter

Cant see any way to get the Westbrook salary into our cap situation.  That move is dead now.

If they move Rozier, Zeller, Graham and Monk out to the Clippers and Houston they can make it work. 

 

Also the Batum being waived isn't completely official yet. Charlotte still talking with Boston on a sign and trade.

Sounds like Twitter bs to be honest.  Moving those 4 guys for Westbrook would be ridiculously dumb.

On paper, the basketball fit of this move is fantastic. We needed a 3 that could shoot and also gets Bridges coming off the bench at the 4 which I truly feel is his best position. We needed a player like Hayward to balance out our lineup and it really does look fantastic. 

Now, the question marks are huge. You all mentioned them. Injury history and money. 

We were scraping our way out of cap hell and boom right back strapped again. The only difference is that we have some youth on rookie contracts and a potential for growth which is nice. 

I really would have liked to stay the course and use cap to take on bad contracts and get some extra assets, but maybe there weren't many good options out there? 

However you all feel I am really excited about next year. I know most of you have given up on Monk, but for me I can't wait to see the young guns take the court with Hayward. 

Give me Ball, Monk, Hayward, Miles & PJ at least once next year and I will be happy.

I guess I don't get this sign and trade junk.  If Boston takes back Batum to get some trade exception fine but why in the hell would the Hornets give them any fuggin thing otherwise?  WTF...Hayward is ours period.  Fug Boston.

And if a three team deal cost us Rozier for a protected first then fine.  Better be Clevelands (or a bad teams) first though.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Basbear · Posted

      Brother re-check that guarantee...my page shows 30mill.....thats means he's staying in my book for at least til the end of 2026.  Im going to be my normal honest self, besides watching like half of the SB, I didn't know the guy. My guess is Panthers have a "planned model of paying players" and they almost had to spend a chunk of space on a DLman after Dbrown injury season gave them a nightmare out-come of worst D in NFL scoring. Once Milton got above Dbrown payments, they went with the plan B. A player whom the "co-GM" put his name with. Brad said turk would not be a problem off-field and leader, which the Panthers need badly. I dug in with the google-fu, I found out  I also found him playing lots of NT, which was shocking given the small frame. He seems ready for a bigger role and had a great SB too. IDK, I feel Dan Morgan was dead set on not going into this season without more DL depth and its there. The real deal is this, nearly all FA take one year to "adjust". I think turk is trying too hard and causing injuries as a result for his contract. Dbrown called turk "strong as hell" and I know for a fact Dbrowns has insane core and strength numbers. They lift together with the 50 LB difference...... you always lift with a guy who's similar in strength cause you can leave on the 8 wheels, let the other guy lift while you rest and go after him.  I do wish he had a better beginning to his panther career, 3 games for him to do so and it would cover up the low points if he made a few plays.... Again it felt like they almost had to make move/spend $$$ and Morgan was going to have DL depth this season no matter what...My best guess.

      There's a reason DC wasn't getting calls to be a HC. He wasn't ready. His indecisiveness is infuriating. His lack of awareness is mystifying. He jumped at the chance to grab the David Tepper retirement plan and who can really blame him. Maybe with time he can grow into the job. But we're on year 8 of our 7 year rebuild. I think I'm gonna need a hip replacement before we get a decent HC.
