Hornets can match any offer for Bridges per the CBA. Main issue is going to be the luxury tax.

I still wouldn’t be surprised to see the Hornets trade for Westbrook if the Lakers would take Hayward. MJ would be much willing to pay the luxury tax for one year over multiple years (Westbrook is on an expiring contract).

If we can’t move Hayward for an expiring deal then things get a little more interesting but I don’t think there’s a snowball’s chance in hell that the Hornets don’t match any offer for Bridges.

Me either.

The front office and MJ would be morons setting the team back years if they let Bridges go. Rozier and/or Plumlee could also be traded to make room for Bridges' new deal.

Let's beat these Atlanta fugs then those Cleveland fugs. I want a real playoff berth for the first time in what seems like a decade. Don't even care if the Heat sweep us, gotta get LaMelo and Bridges some playoff experience and start building this thing. The winning season was a start, but a loss in the play-in rounds would be a disappointment ultimately.

yep, will take the loss in a real series just for the extra games and won't be mad.

Because if our season ends tonight or the next game, all I have is the draft, and Panthers only have one pick in the top 130....and then...it's a long way  to preseason games.

      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.
