Would Charlotte Support The Tampa Rays?

Charlotte is one of the worst sports towns in the country. They would be retarded to move here.

What is your proof to back up your statement? Why did the NBA want to replace the Hornets so quickly after they left?

I think Charlotte would have sold out that game if one of their team was about to clinch a playoff spot.

It's not a bad sports town, it's just young. We haven't quite had the time (or winning consistency in the teams) to develop our own identity. Charlotte is still primarily in its first and second generation of fans.

As for the Rays in Charlotte, they'd be no better off here than in Tampa (though we could give them a baseball-friendly climate and a nicer park.) If you think its tough trying to develop a Rays fanbase there, take a look at the 47-page Atlanta Braves thread...

That's not even counting the Yankees, Red Sox, Cubs and other large MLB fan contingencies found in NC.

    • If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.
    • I just saw the funniest thing...or very disappointing, depending how you handle misery. A guy on YouTube did a 2027 'way too early' mock draft.  If I told you the simulator has the Panthers selecting in the top 10 , what would you say?  If I told you it was pick #8 and only two QBs were taken in the top 7, what would you say?  If I told you this dude had us taking a defensive player, what would you say?
    • It is due diligence at that point. Irresponsible not to take him.  Crossing my fingers on this one, he has everything you look for except experience.
