Bye Bye, '11-'12 season

As much as I enjoy watching the Bobcats, and to some extent the NBA as a whole, the powers that be of the NBA may soon learn that there is not much clamoring for their product. If they have to tear the whole thing down in order to rebuild a more practical economic structure, I'm all for it. I personally won't be devastated by a missed season.

Besides, college hoops is the ticket anyway.

I think you have a very valid point Chaos... the NBA isn't the NFL... the NFL could have missed a season and it would have hurt them, but no that much... the fanbase is huge.

The NBA sucks... College Basketball is very popular... a lot of people may decide they don't miss it. I for one won't miss it a bit.

BTW, I just glanced at the Bobcats roster because I haven't thought about it lately. Absolute garbage. We don't have 1 player on our team who would be a starter on a championship caliber team. Not 1. Maybe I won't miss this season after all.

Well, not to try to sound like an ass, but we were not going to make the playoffs with the team we have now, so I aint mad.

I 100% back what MJ is doing. So therefore I back the Owners. Charlotte will never be a contender if we cant bring in and afford the talent.

Its a shame this is happening, but there are going to be alot of players not getting a paycheck this year who will be pretty pissed!

With the season done, a lot of players who were expecting to have re-signed with their teams by now will be free agents next summer (assuming a new CBA is in place by then). The entire free agent class looks huge plus it includes this past summers free agents who never got a chance to sign. It is quite a list including (but not limited to):

Dwight Howard *

Chris Paul *

Derrick Rose

Kevin Love

Brook Lopez

Steve Nash

Tim Duncan

Nicolas Batum

Jamal Crawford

Kevin Garnett

Russell Westbrook

Chauncey Billups

Nene

Jason Terry

Antawn Jamison

Kirk Hinrich

Ray Allen

Jeff Green

Tayshaun Prince

Roy Hibbert

Chris Kaman

O.J. Mayo

Marc Gasol

JaVale McGee

Shane Battier

Michael Beasley

Jason Kidd

Tyson Chandler

Caron Butler

Andre Miller

Danilo Gallinari

D.J. Augustin

David West

Elton Brand *

Vince Carter

Grant Hill

Raymond Felton

Marcus Camby

Greg Oden

Samuel Dalembert

Antonio McDyess

* Would have to opt out of their final year which is highly likely.

    • I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!
    • Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.  
    • Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.
