Its the only move they made and it is nearly 10 million for 7 ppg and 4 rpg. That is still nearly 1/12 of a roster spot if we go by cap. Thing is top level players make around 30 million and you usually have 2 of those on a really good team. So, it is actually around 1/6 of the remaining roster cap.

Good deal don't let the rest of the BS blind you from good moves..

The Martin contract is meh, it depends on if he keeps progressing. He’s a good defender and has gotten better every year so hopefully that continues. His contract is slightly less than Gary Payton’s and I think Martin is better than Payton so there is that. I also wish it was a three year deal instead of a four year deal.

Personally I’d have been much more comfortable at 3x$20M

As someone mentioned above, Charlotte is going to have to overpay which is why it’s important that we draft and develop well while those players are on their entry contracts. This is why trading away our second round pick continues to be a baffling decision.

If you can get PJ and Cody for less you would have to pay ass hole .. Its atleast a start to recovery...

I don’t follow.

Cody is very similar to Hamidou Diallo, the difference is that Diallo is better and makes substantially less.

It’s not a terrible contract but the Hornets could probably use the extra $3M per season that Cody is making (compared to Diallo’s contract).

2 for 1.. If Miles wasn't stupid and we signed him to a 120 plus mil deal.. No way we keep cody, PJ, and probably somebody else.. But now Atleast we get to keep these guys for less then we would've paid miles alone..

I mean we can keep them regardless because we have their bird rights. However, over paying, even if it’s slightly, might prevent us from being able to sign free agents in the future due to lack of cap space (assuming any free agents would want to sign with us).

Mj isn't going into luxury tax for Cody or PJ.. So let that dream of keeping them with what was a 120+ million Miles contract go..

Wouldn’t have had to, for one Miles contract even at a max would have still come under the luxury tax and secondly, PJ’s contract doesn’t expire until next year… you know when both Plumlee’s and Oubre’s deals also expire, opening up more than enough room for Washington.

Obviously a moot point now since Miles is an idiot but regardless, overpaying your own free agents unless they are star players can be detrimental to the long term cap flexibility of the team.

I don't consider it overpaying..

He's is your best wing defender who has improved every year since drafted and now is developing a 3 point shot.. 8mil a year for a 26 year old  2 way wing is cheap..

Hell we're paying Kelly 12mil and he doesn't play defense..

Cody Martin balled out. He does all the grunt work and he's become a efficient scorer. He actually took over and won one of those last games he was killing it. Yes, the fact that he can play defense too makes him much better value than a guy who is just a shooter that gives up just as many as he scores.

It’s not a massive overpay but there are players that are better than Martin (for example: Diallo) making less money on a worse team. I also would have preferred a three year deal.

      Everyone Says BPA. Panthers Won’t.

      I mean I'd like to add a monster TE as much as anyone else but ultimately what use will that serve with a QB who had 54 passing yards in 4 quarters at one point last season? Defense defense defense.

      At this point its Sadiq or bust... A

      By micnificent28 · Posted

      Personally I think he's a nightmare to cover I think linebackers generally aren't fast enough to keep up with him in coverage and cornerbacks don't have the strength to tackle him one-on-one in physically bring them down which would normally lead to a broken tackle or a nasty stiff arm or just bully ball play sure you could find a receiver with comparable speed like Cooper but he's faster than Cooper sure you can find a wide receiver that is the same size but he's probably More powerful than them and a better blocker.  The size speed athleticism package that he is in is completely unique it's easier to say I'd rather have just a big blocker because we've never seen this type of profile before I'm a risk taker I think you would be God blessed if this was there at 19 I think if you can get a guy that's a tight end who immediately becomes the fastest guy on your offense and at the same time that third wide receiver that can stretch and burn defenses over the top that's the perfect what the Panthers need type weapon.

      I think you're under selling Sadiq. They are two different players in terms of how they win. Loveland is 2 inches taller maybe 5-6 pounds heavier. Comparing his speed to sadiq.. well your comparing a 4.7 guy to a 4.3 guy I'm seeing a guy that can take a bubble screen from the tight end position and turn it into a house call. I'm not saying the guy is a certified home run pick but I don't think there's really a president's for a comparison for this kind of athlete. It's easy to say this doesn't look like Warren or Loveland because we haven't seen guys that fit this profile The closest you might be able to get is Vernon Davis.  He's not as sure far as those guys were but at 19 I think almost everybody is going to have some warts and he's a lottery ticket of could be top 10 in the draft player or could fail I am more of a risk taker I think he fits the athletic profile that could be a homerun, like I said he's almost 40 lb bigger than Cooper and like 4-5 in taller than Cooper so and he's faster. So whatever you think Cooper gives you I think he does that and more. If you want to go with one of the office alignment I can understand that as well but for value as a receiving threat I don't think there's a bigger value at number 19.
