But the team finally has it's young star they can build around so there is hope.

What's the likelihood he stays?

Crappy owners have a lousy track record of being able to hold onto premier talent...look no further than the New Orleans Hornets (Pelicans).

#4 pick Chris Paul, left.  #1 pick Anthony Davis, gone.  #1 pick Zion Williamson, sure sounds like he's got one foot out the door.

Why?

Because ownership sucks and these players can see there is no path toward consistent success for the organization (much less a championship).

If the key operating hierarchy within the Bobcats remains Mike Jordan > Mitch Kupchak (age 67) > James Jordan > Buzz Peterson...

...LaMelo Ball will leave.

Maybe. I could see him wanting a big market for the extra money. We will have a chance to max him out. It looks like the Hornets have already signed his brother to play on the Summer League. (Similar to what the Bucks did with Giannis). The owners better start kissing his ass, because you know it’s a league controlled by the players.

Hate to be that guy that says "I knew it"  but I cant help but say I knew he was just throwing a tantrum with the whole "appease me now or else" BS.  Acting like a bored spouse who complains that you just don't pay enough attention to me anymore.

I would have had so much more respect for him if he stood his ground.   Now all of this for what? Just pointless BS.

ESPN's Adam Schefter adds that the deal will void the 2023 season from Rodgers' current contract and the franchise tag may not be used in future years.

Sounds like he wants to be a FA after this season.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
