Dampier would mean cap room now since we can cut him and his unguaranteed contract. Carroll is a solid back-up and Najera is pretty much trash. As a general rule, I don't pay attention to radio reports, but this would be somewhat of an odd move if we do it.

Charlotte has traded Tyson Chandler and Alex Ajinca to Dallas for Dampier, Matt Carroll and Najera, a league source tells Y! Sports.

Dallas and Charlotte are getting on trade call with league office to finalize deal, source says.

The Bobcats are "very likely" to waive Dampier and his non-guaranteed $13 million salary for next season, a source tells Y!

We're not waiving Dampier. That'd leave us with money to play with, but no starters at PG or C available in free agency. Dampier is either going to stay in Charlotte (highly unlikely) or he's getting traded.

Unless we're taking back a large salary in a trade. In that case, we could waive Dampier and we'd be able to take back however much salary we wanted because we'd be under the cap. MJ and company are working hard at something.

Maybe we are, maybe we aren't.... that's what the source says.... I doubt you know for a fact that we won't waive Dampier, unless you work in the FO and are making the calls.

The Bobcats have traded big men Tyson Chandler and Alex Ajinca to the Mavericks, in exchange for Erick Dampier, Matt Carroll and Eduardo Najera.

The deal should be finalized soon, so Michael Jordan won't have an opportunity to change his mind. We're assuming that Chandler, in the final year of his contract, will fill a backup PF/C role for the Mavs.

Veteran center Erick Dampier was traded from the Mavericks to the Bobcats on Tuesday, though he may never play a game for Charlotte.

Dampier was highly coveted this summer not because of his skills, but because his $13 million contract is fully unguaranteed. The Bobcats will surely waive him, allowing him to seek employment as an unrestricted free agent.

Good trade in my opinion we can do a lot know with either keeping Dampier or letting him go either way it will be fun.

Well I did add to my post after that, but logically it doesn't make any sense. Why swap Chandler for Dampier when they're essentially the same player with the same contract? The only edge Dampier has is that his contract isn't guaranteed, which means we must be getting ready to trade him, or cut him so we can take back a big salary. Why would we cut him if something else wasn't in the works? We wouldn't, because that would leave us with a lack of big men, the supposed reason why we pulled out of the trade with Toronto.

      Jalen Ramsey

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, I get why the media and some NFL and Carolina fans are saying that we don't have a real chance, but as many Huddlers should know, we won't know what we really have in this team until probably late September or early October at the earliest. And I'm not trying to be a homer, I'm just looking at things historically. Obviously I'm also looking at Bryce's "palatable" improvement the last half of last season (including being the catalyst for hanging with and nearly beating the Super Bowl participants), and the new additions that we've acquired overall. I'm also looking at the beginnings of a culture change--even if perceptibly subtle--to some degree indeed may take a foothold if things start falling the right way. But, overall, I'm still cognizant of the realization that things could just go south and that perhaps that Bryce could revert and flop, or that D & D (Dan and Dave) are not the answer, but I still am not ready to say "we're far away." Hell we could be close, albeit with growing pains, but even if we're on the course to bring legit in 2026, then guys like Ramsey would be welcome additions this season. That's just my take on it. I don't think we'll know that we're far away until some point in the season. If we can compete in the South...who knows?

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      You guys remember when the narrative on here was that Bryce would be chronically injured in the NFL due to his size and Anthony Richardson would be super durable due to his? You remember when the narrative was that Bryce was physically incapable of throwing a ball further than 20 yards in the NFL? You remember “I’ll stop complaining when he throws for more than 200 yards and looks like an NFL quarterback”? You remember when 60 sacks was his fault and not the offensive line, slow WRs, and terrible scheme? Pepperidge Farm remembers. It will always be something for some people. Whatever insanity they come up with will be quickly dropped to move on to the next thing. Bryce could have an MVP Super Bowl winning season and they would complain that we can’t run the tush push with him. It will always be something.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      For the Panthers fans still low on Bryce and demanding that he be a top-10 QB this upcoming season: What stat(s) will you need to see? Not the vibe you want, but rather what does he need to be top-10 in specifically? Passing yards? Completion percentage? Win-loss record? PFF grades? EPA? CPOE? Asking because this was asked before and... well... it ended up that the folks down on him didn't care about the numbers as much as they cared that they just couldn't get passed his size regardless of how he performed. It would be nice to get a straight-forward answer to that without the usual deflection and redirecting.
