Were good at the 5.

A banger 4, or an excellent spot up shotter with Defense like a Tyrus Thomas.

I wouldn't say we are "good" at the 5. Definitely the 4 spot is getting the least production, but I don't know how much longer Nazr can be expected to contribute like he has and Diop and Chandler both lack any type of NBA offensive skill set.

Regardless, looking at the contracts at the 5 spot, the 3 guys that we have now are going to be the only 3 guys we have for a while.

We have two glaring holes right now and neither are at 4, in my opinion.

We need a legit, dyed in the wool, 43% or better shooting guard who can score and create his own offense. Brandon Roy, Joe Johnson, or even a Ben Gordon type scorer.

The next and hardest to fill need we have is that premier 5. He doesn't even have to be spectacular, but even finding above average guys are horrible. This 5 by committee we have just makes us too one dimensional. Brook Lopez would have been a fabulous fit here.

Brook Lopez

please don't mention his name..... the pain... the pain..............

but i sort of agree- Captain Jack is playing out of position at the 2- he really is a 3 but Crash aint going anywhere..

so 1 Felton, 2 Jack and 3 Wallace are basically locked in for This season.. 4 and 5 are the positions we could do sumthing about before the deadline..

i personnally would like Samuel Dalembert from the 6ers.. package Diop/Chandler and Flip/Graham for Dalembert and we might be extremely solid..

So you want to trade a center with no offensive skill set and a shitty contract plus a guard for another center with no offensive skill set and a shitty contract.

BRILLIANT!

Why aren't you an NBA GM?

Jamison is on the trading block. Wouldn't mind picking him up for the 4 spot. Athletic power forward has been what we have always needed.

Jamison is still a very good offensive player and a more than adequate rebounder. He isn't the best defender but LB could probably improve that quite a bit.

The Bobs put themselves in the sticky situation where all player acquisitions involving a Tarheel will be held to the highest level of scrutiny. I think Jamison would pass that level of scrutiny.

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      I've shown you numerous comps for other tackles in the same age and talent range.  His contract, taking into account his age, health, etc.  is the going rate.  It's a fair deal. I've shown you examples of how long it usually takes to find even an average replacement.  Hell, look at every tackle that has ever started for the Panthers.  How many would you consider a success?  They are not easy to find. After everything we've done with this team since drafting Bryce why would we decide to let our best linemen go and add a huge question mark at tackle?   FA is a crapshoot in which any guy available will have cons/issues.  If not, they'll cost a fortune.   Outside of a first or maybe 2nd round pic next year it'll take a few years for a tackle to learn the position at the NFL level.  There are still questions about Icky. Every vet NFL player deals with maintenance.  Between the contract value and history I'm not overly worried about his knee.  I contend his knee issue isn't anything to be overly worried about.  It's not zero risk but it's an acceptable risk.  Every player we draft and every contract we sign has risk.  You're blowing up his own negative words about his knees and ignoring him saying he is healthy and the knee is a non issue.  You have a strong chicken little complex with this team.  Being he has always been a Panther they are very aware of any health issues. We paid now because now is cheaper.  If his knee was really an issue they would have waited.  That tells me it's not the issue you want it to be.
