If they can't find a trade that is to their liking, they can give Peppers the Lance Briggs treatment. Play here or don't play. Peppers isn't stupid. He's not going to sit on his couch and not get paid. If it comes down to it, he'll play. If he decides to slack, he'll only hurt his stock. He'll be right back in the same situation next off-season and he'll be one year older. He can play all the games he wants, but at this point if the Panthers play hardball he's hosed!

A 29 year old has to play. He sits a year, he costs himself millions...probably tens of millions. We have all the cards but I still think that the FO will not be fully stubborn. If a reasonable deal is offered, they will jump to avoid the whole headache even if it means settling for 80-90% of what they think he is worth.

I agree. He MUST play hard. If he stayed on for the franchise tender it would be a contract year all over again for him. I do think they'll trade him. But he doesn't have the leverage that he had yesterday.

He is still in a very good position....IMO

Pep has to agree to, the team he is traded to, and the terms that said team will offer him.

We have a little more leverage, but not as much as most on here would like.

And if he won't agree to a trade, then he's stuck here. At this point he's powerless. The only thing working in his favor is the $17 million cap hit.

I've gotta agree with some of the other guys. With the crap he's pulled off the field, having him forced to play the 09 season would be detrimental to the team. No one wants to play alongside a guy who desperately wants out.

I do NOT want to see him in a Panthers uniform ever again.

      I could be waaaaaaay off about Kon. I do fault myself into, to borrow a NFL phrase heavily "RAS" nerd on players, too much. There are PLENTY of athletic freak shows that are playing overseas(or Amazon delivery) cause they never figured out NBA ball. I can easily miss seeing the talent. Plus did he only have 2 dunks on the season??(is that for real??) I didn't watch over a few hours of duke, but not one point did I think "That Kon guy is a top 4 pick in the upcoming draft". IMO I still foresee Ball bringing the ball up, doing his weak isolation game and never even looking for Kon. That's his best trait according to everyone, shooting right? I do not see ball, bridges, miller or even williams making the extra pass to Kon for him to shoot a 3.  Then defense-wise, Im not ready to type the amount of questions I foresee in his ability for guarding NBA SGs or bench SFs for that matter. Not that NBA players care to defend, but still..... I just feel he's a bad fit for the current hornets, trades are taking place tho... Liam to me is a decent comp for Kon and he fell some, but was a 29 overall pick. Still around 13-21 was the good solid range for Liam and I thought the same for Kon. This is just a classic case of I need to see it. It add to this, Kon is like garlic. Ball is like sugar and Miller is like flour. Mix it together and chef Lee is not going to get me to eat that dish..... Honestly I don't know why Im this vocal about Kon. In past years I would be patience and not post and see what the kid has. The other side, insert classic white boy terms here- _____, ______, _______< etc >. Hornets do desperately need them. His crafty back door cuts, his willingness to stay a extra 2 hours to refine lees plays, keep playing with bruised limbs. I heard from many reports he's mentally tough and hornets by all gods need that. God they are such pussys.  I hope Im wrong and if so, I will give Kon his just props.
