2011 Free agency and JR

Recommended Posts

With things not looking up for the rest of the season a lot of us are looking forward to the draft, hiring of a new coach, and the FA period in order to get out team back on track.

The thing I am starting to worry about is the ability to sign our own Free agents and the ability to attract FA's to Carolina.

I think there is a possibility to be backlash against JR for the handling of the team this year... players want to win and may not agree with JR's philosophy this year (bettering his position for the potential lockout) and may decide to go play elsewhere, or they might not be willing to give any "home team" discounts.

I'm not sure but I think Williams, Kalil, Davis, and Marshall are going to be our biggest FA's going into next year.

I think Kalil would be the #1 priority followed closely by Williams and Davis. I just hope JR does not cause us more backlash from his pro-owner stance this year.

Don't see a backlash.

Once there is a CBA in place along with an attractive coaching staff.

Andrew Luck coudn't hurt either.

Cool, I hope so. Just seemed like a lot of owners are still paying players this year, while JR has made it obvious he's all about setting up for the owners in the potential upcoming lockout. With players money being in jeopardy I was thinking that could have backlash in the locker room. I hope I'm wrong and everyone else is right.

    • With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.
    • Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.
    • Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
