Would you tank the season for Harrison Barnes?

I love the Bobcats, but we aren't getting anywhere with our current roster. I love the idea of getting a big time free agent, but when teams like the Knicks & Lakers will both be looking to add a max contract within the next two seasons, why would someone choose Charlotte?

I think we could probably put together a solid .500 team and maybe make the playoffs as a 7th or 8th seed, but is that good enough? I hate the idea of losing on purpose, but I'm so sick of mediocrity in Carolina sports. I'd rather they go all in for a legitimate super star potential player in HB40 instead of making the playoffs as an 8th seed and getting swept or not making the playoffs at all.

No, there is soooooooooooo much talent in next year's draft, if you believe everyone that came back and most of the top freshman will bolt, that you are gonna get a great talent anywhere in the lottery.

I never believe in tanking especially since we are in playoff contention. I hate getting the 7th or 8th and getting swept but I will never support a team tanking it.

Who else do you see? The guy is big and strong as an ox. Can score just about anyway and can overpower most PF's and many C's.

Howard probably has the best body that the NBA has ever seen. Sullinger has a lot to do before he can even enter the same planet as Howard in both looks and talent.

Are we sure we have our first round pick next year? I would hate to pull a Clippers and tank for somebody else. That said I would take Sullinger right now. It's a long time until the draft though.

As long as its top 14 they do, otherwise it goes to the Bulls for the TT trade.

    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ    
    • I don't know. CMC is like others and may have lip serviced that line of " I had no plan or wanted to leave Carolina" I think he even said he bought a house too and wanted this to be home.   Here's what I heard- In a way Panthers org gave him a test and he didn't "fight" back. They approached CMC and told him they wanted to put him on IR since the "season" was over or out of playoff reach. CMC didn't fight it one lick and agreed. They secretly wanted him to kept playing or want to, but there was no kickback. I honestly don't know if its real or not, 5th hand information type deal doing on. Yes he had bruises and pains, but was able to play...... but went along with Panthers staff. Odd to be playing games with star players, but whatever....   Plus the staff doctors found out about his tendinitis and there was nothing to fix it. Even with him missing time, it was the best move to trade him before he got inflamed constantly.    Lastly, its mostly time a combo of stuff, Fitterererere did not sign him to be the highest paid RB. That was classic Marty "give me a" herniay doing. GMs have different values on roster spots and rumor was Fitterererer was one that didn't want to pay RBs. For all his faults, he's right about that......
    • I think google is confusing signing bonus with guaranteed money. If you get a guarantee of say $10 million, it doesn’t matter if the signing bonus is $5 or $8 million, it’s the $10 million number that affects the cap, as the signing bonus is always just a portion of the guaranteed money anyways. And again, I’ll admit I’m not 100% sure about it, but I’m pretty sure it is the case.
