Bobcats Up For Contraction?

I think the' several reports' have stemmed from the original blurb about us in Boston Globe. I think the Globe story was b.s. as well... It's retarded.

Unless the NBA is gonna offer a price for the team as well as the fees and penalties for getting out of the arena lease, then it would sound more credible. But, even then, if you just read MJ's comments about making the franchise successful, I doubt he would accept the NBA's offer or plan.

The same thing happened in the NHL in terms of the owners coming out and saying that they were going to contract teams if they didn't get the salary roll back that they wanted. In this case, they're wanting the players to take an even bigger salary roll back up to 35%.

The NBAPA, or whatever acronym the players use, have a worst nightmare of losing franchises. Less franchises means less jobs and less jobs means higher competition for spots and even worse representation.

When you start negotiations, you come out with the strongest and most horrible outcome first and work your way back to respectability making concessions along the way. The same way that the NFL is already talking about a lockout like it's a foregone conclusion, that is where the negotiations start and the balance of power is known.

Nobody is going to get contracted. The league can't afford it and the players won't stomach it.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By strato · Posted

      Yep. I was hoping for and calling for a day three guy. But I didn’t research the position to say if we should or should‘t have jumped at a particular guy at a particular spot.    And everything I read said it was a poor draft for RBs depth wise. I guess when Seattle takes a backup RB in the 1st, that kind of backs that up.    I definitely think we should keep 4 running backs and if King can play well enough then keep him too.    I believe I heard Canales say we are a running team (talking about drafting a WR he will be needing to block as well as catch). Well if we are gonna be a running team by identity we don’t need to stock the WR room to overflowing. If one room has to sacrifice, it should not be the RB room given our circumstances.

      Dan had a great draft

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      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.
