UPDATED this in my thread as well, but here you go.

Classic Bobcats:

From Bonnell:

There are definitely serious talks going on between the Charlotte Bobcats and Milwaukee Bucks. Don't know all the particulars yet, but it sounds like the Bobcats could end with the 10th pick and maybe send No. 19 to Milwaukee.

Don't know what veterans are involved, but here's a curiosity: Stephen Jackson and Corey Maggette have similar contract numbers, both in salary size and length of contracts. The Bucks would love to move Maggette. Don't know that the Bobcats would see him as an asset.

Horrible, self-mutilating, and redundant... you know, the usual Bobcats strategy.

We shouldn't be giving up anything else if we're giving them 9mil in an expiring. We should get the 10th for that alone.

I disagree. We'd atleast have to swap picks and give them the 19th. Then we'd have back to back picks. Diaw is not worth the 10th overall pick, even with that expiring.

It depends, especially if the new CBA will have a hard cap.

Diaw's game itself isn't worth the 10 pick, but his contract is in that case. I've seen plenty similar deals in the past, we all have.

How many times as an NBA fan have you looked at a trade and thought "Wow, they actually did that?"

Problem is, we're always the team that "actually did that."

We know he's not worth a 10, but maybe we can fool em :biggrin5:

I want the 10th pick, but I'm hoping to get Vucevic with the 19th, so I don't want to give it up.

Yeah I guess if you are looking for Vucevic then 10 would be too high in terms of value. I wouldn't mind snagging him either. I just don't see Diaw alone for the 10th going down.

As long as we aren't trading Thomas.

I'd be willing to give them TT for the 10th. I'm sure another team would be willing to take Diaw's expiring as well.

Another idea because Maggette's name keeps popping up, what if we took Maggette back with the 10th, and gave them Diaw?

That way we still keep the 19th and makes more sense for both sides because we'd be taking back an older player with a bad contract and giving them an expiring in its place. I don't want Maggette or his contract, but if we can get the 10th and keep the 19th out of it, I'd do it.

      If you could add one player from any team in the NFL to the 2025 Panthers to make them Super Bowl contenders, who would it be?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I don't disagree, but you're not giving our offense enough credit, and I'm not saying we would win the SB, just that we would be contenders, which we would have been. The Bengals had a horrible start to the season last year and it caused them to just miss the playoffs by one game, but had they made it, they absolutely would have been contenders in the AFC.  They had a bad defense, probably worse than ours will be this year, and you can't convince me that we don't have a better offensive roster than they had last year.   We have a Top 10 OL, two 1k rushers from last year, two 1st round WRs, one of the best slot WRs in the league, and then Coker.  Like I said, their Top 2 WRs are better than ours will be this year, but we take them in every other spot, OL, RBx2, and our 3rd/4th WRs.   If Burrow was able to turn that team into a contender last year, no reason he couldn't do the same with our roster this year.  And hell, I think our offensive roster is better than KC's last year too, and while I know their defense did a lot of the heavy lifting last year, if you give Mahomes an improved offensive roster around him, he's going to be THAT much better himself. A Mahomes, Burrow, or Allen would be able to win the South by outscoring teams.  And yes, come playoff time against an Eagles or Lions juggernaut, our defense probably costs us the game, but that doesn't mean we wouldn't at least be contenders. If Bryce can prove me wrong and his supporters here right, and be THAT guy for us this year, I genuinely think we can be a real playoff threat in 2026 once we add a few more pieces to the defense and then be a genuine SB contender in 2027 if the team keeps improving. We're the 2022 Detroit Lions right now.   Great offensive pieces, tons of holes on defense, but if things go right we'll just miss the playoffs (like they did) and then be right in the playoff hunt the next year (like they did) and then be contenders the following season (like they did when they were the #1 seed).

      Hornets have had the worst luck of any professional sports franchise this century. Constantly drafting a slot below the generational talent, all because of the lottery done behind closed doors. It's been brutal and frankly unfair to be a diehard fan of this franchise, and I don't blame anyone for cutting out the stress.

      We will see if there is any logic to those sort of packages. I haven't seen a ton of evidence that Evero operates that way.
