Young sucks, but he seems like a good dude. I despise everything about Lamelo. I can’t wait for his bum ass to get traded. 

This.  Young just physically cannot perform, even though he tries.

Ball is just a lazy, entitled POS who doesn't seem to care enough to prepare himself for the season.  He thinks he can just show up and let his talent carry him and flat out refuses to put in the work.

I do think they both need to be gone for their own reasons, but the hate for Ball is warranted.

Names I'd keep an eye on... Coby White,  Jalen Suggs, Amen Thompson  and Stephen Castle...  3 teams except Orlando has checked on Melo before and rumblings of sours getting rid of fox too. I'd think they think Melo and Wemby would make them nuclear out west.

Good riddance, loser!

Lamelo is the most talented player this franchise has ever had.  Period.  If we  are really going to trade him we need ridiculous return.  There isn’t another player in history like this guy when he is on the court.

Most talented, injury prone softest asshole that doesn't give a fug about the team. I'd take a second and a few guys that give a poo.

I despise this argument sooooooooooooo much, because yes, he very much asked for it and gamed the system to ensure it happened.

He put on bad weight before the combine so he'd weigh in at a number that didn't scare teams off.  Because of that he didn't do any physical testing, because he knew he wasn't in the right condition to do them well.

Then he cut the weight by his pro day so he could perform better, while then not allowing himself to be re-weighed in at that time, because it would show he wasn't as big as he seemed to be at the combine.

They purposefully hid his deficiencies to ensure he was taken at the top of the draft, knowing if they let him perform side by side with the other prospects, he'd have been exposed and fallen in the draft.

I get it, you can't blame him for trying to get drafted as high as possible, but it's why the "he didn't ask for it" reasoning falls completely flat with me in regards to Bryce.

If you and I could see that as plain as day, was it really Bryce's fault or the morons who picked him. The answer is lazy ass LaMelo who doesn't even care if he wins. Kon for president.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
