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.

    • Baker was traded before he played his 5th year.  RGIII was cut before playing his 5th year. So it is rare but it happens. 
    • Time to hit 4000 yards and 30 TDs (including rushing). I don't care about INTs anymore. That's a big part of the problem. He plays uber conservative until the game is on the line. Playing not to lose, instead of playing to win. Time to let it friggin rip from the get. The team can win with a pick or 2 if he has 3-4 TDs. Stop playing scared.  But to be fair, his WRs have not been great. You all can bash about 1st round picks and O-line cap all you want.  Chuba as your #1 RB his entire career.  Adam Thielen as your best WR for 2 of 3 seasons is ridiculous. Then a rookie as your best in the 3rd season. Legette is not a 1st round talent. Probably closer to a 4th if you compare him to Brazzel this year. Coker has been a walking injury report. Nothing else to really speak of at WR or TE. Jimmy Horn has potential, but he is not an NFL starter yet. Oline has been better as run blockers than pass blockers. Ickey has always been so-so as a pass blocking LT. Center has been a revolving door for 3 years. Damien Lewis has been as marketed. Hunt is a great run blocker but an ok pass blocker - when healthy. Moton has been solid at RT. Biggest problem with the oline has been depth. When someone went down, their replacement became a glaring weakness. Overall a good but not great unit the last 2 years. 2023 was a ish show. Nothing else to say.  Not one game breaker, take it to the house offensive weapon since DJ Moore. Hopefully we get a little of that from Brazzell.  Either way, in his 4th season, it doesn't matter. You have to be able to overcome whatever comes your way. First 3 seasons with a young supporting cast is defendable. Can't use that anymore though. 3rd year in the offense. 3rd year with the same HC.   
    • Highest amount of OL salary cap in the league too. The Chiefs are behind us at 2 but we are ahead of them by a cool $23 million. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/position/offensive-line/_/year/2026/table/active/sort/cap_total
