Most people on the board are aware of Shaq’s age and financial burden on the team. Trading him or cutting him makes sense this off-season. Especially with Luvu,  Smith, and whoever we may bring in with draft capital we may acquire for him. What would be a good deal for Shaq?

 

YGM has never really turned into the Mike Rucker people thought he would be. (Look at his production and 46.5 PFF grade). Edge rushers are valuable, especially young ones with rookie contracts. What kind of compensation do you think the Panthers would get for YGM?

Shaq is an overrated JAG who is insanely overpaid. Looking forward to moving on from that bloated contract. He has never lived up to his hype and simply isn't a difference maker. You could argue that Luvu has impacted the outcome of our games more this season in his first year at LB than Shaq has his entire career.

YGM is another JAG (at best) but at least he's on a rookie deal. Decent depth I guess but doubt we'd even notice if we moved on from him.

The biggest problem with Shaq is his contract.  It was another example of Hurney thinking that if we pay a guy like he is one of the best, he will become one of the best.

With RA gone, Shaq is the third highest salary next year and, if I am not mistaken, provides the biggest cap relief.  Of course, dumping/trading him is only one solution to that problem.  We have the rest of the season to figure out what options are worth it, unless somebody pushes a lot of chips into the center of the table for him.

Shaq 28 years old OMGz so old

He will be 29 next season- about the same age as Kuechly when he retired. Thomas Davis lasting as long as he did was an anomaly and partly due to him not taking hits on his body for 3 years due to his ACL issues.

Yeah, pretty much. Shaq is okay. He wouldn't be a problem if he was paid like a run of the mill starting LB but he's nowhere near the difference maker he's paid to be. I have no idea why the Panthers organization has always thought so highly of him as a player. I've never seen any signs of a special player.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
