You probably know as little about Yurt as I do...but look him up.  23 year old 7-footer and better rim protector and scorer than what we have (Plumlee).  

PJ Washington is not a star, nevermind a starter on the 9th place team.  

This is not a barn-burner trade, it’s a slight upgrade at C and maybe PF if Morris becomes available soon.  (This trade is still a rumor for the record).

Miami is getting rid of a great 7 foot rim protecting prodigy.  Ok, lets let them make us better.

And yes, I have never heard of him.  I feel better now

Since you know him so well how is he better than Kai Jones?  Just wondering

I am wondering if we get anything out of that trade.  It turned into Kai Jones right?  Forgive me…NBA trades can be an algorithm 

The Kai Jones trade was actually with New York. We traded a protected first round pick. The protections are 1-18 next year, 1-16 in 2023, 1-14 in 2024 and 1-14 in 2025. If not conveyed by then, the pick will become two future second-rounders.

We acquired the protected first round pick from New Orleans for Devonte Graham.

Thanks…it is so confusing to me personally

If we’re trading with Miami, I’d want Yurtseven, Strus, and the 2026 second round pick they picked up from OKC for Washington (they can keep Morris). We’d have to open up one roster spot, most likely getting rid of Vernon Carey.

When healthy:

G- Ball, Martin

G - Rozier, Strus

F - Hayward, Oubre

F - Bridges, McDaniels

C - Plumlee, Yurtseven

Depth

G - Smith

G - Bouknight

F - Thor

F - Jones

C - Richards

    • 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.
