Flip Murray would still return to Charlotte (If we come calling)

Free agent guard Flip Murray is receivng interest from the Cavaliers, Clippers, and Bulls.

Murray has also said that he'd be willing to re-sign with Charlotte. No matter where he lands, he should fill the same role -- bursts of scoring off the bench.

You know what, all these guys wanna come back and if they really want to then let them.

If Flip would rather play us than Chicago and Cleveland than re-sign him. Same with Larry.

You could move Flip back to the point guard position and let Larry play the two. Those two guys would be a hell of a scoring threat coming of the bench.

Hughes is a better PG than Flip, though both are SGs with decent ball handling skills.

There isn't room on the roster for both. Combine that with the fact that Hughes is the better defender and DJ's panties really get wadded up when Flip is around and you can see that Flip won't be with the Bobcats next year.

Hughes has never played point guard before, Flip has actually played that position before.

I think he played some PG in Philly when they would make AI the sg. He also played pg at GS. Not sure about other teams. He has played a lot at the point. Also no to both. If i had to choose it would be Larry though. You will take anyone back. Is there any old player that you wouldn't take back?

Edit: Looked him up and he is listed as a PG/SG.

I will take them back if they are better than a player at the same position on the team.

Im not sure who they are better than. You could make a case they might be better than Henderson and Livingston but I'd much rather give them some pt and see how they turn out. Neither of them are very good. It's time to try some new things out.

Nah. You know better than that.

Put it this way, earlier this summer after the Bobs were wiped out of the playoffs, a reporter asked LB about Flip coming back. LB sortof sidestepped the question and started raving about how well Hughes was playing. What does that tell you about what LB (and management) are likely to do?

A couple of weeks ago Flip Murray (who will be a free agent this summer) said he'd love to sign again with the Bobcats. I asked Larry Brown about that at his end-of-season press conference Friday. Brown's reaction showed he loved coaching Murray. But also that they have to figure out Gerald Henderson's role and Brown hasn't given up on Larry Hughes.

"I guess we have to see how Gerald does (in summer league and training camp), but I would never be opposed to having (Murray) on our team. He's tremendous for me because of his knowledge of the game and contributions he makes in giving me little ideas. I love it when players are engaged and aren't afraid to give their opinions in respectful ways.''

And then this unsolicited comment on Hughes:

"I think we saw Larry Hughes at about 50 percent of what he could be because he hadn't played in so long when we got him. He was way behind, but made tremendous progress.''

      In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
