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.

    • Rashid Shaheed Born: Aug 31, 1998 (27 years) Height and weight: Height 6′ 0″, Weight 180 lbs Current team: Seattle Seahawks (#22 / Wide receiver/kick returner) Rashid Shaheed signed a one-year, $5.2 million extension with the Saints in July 2024, keeping him under contract through the 2025 season with a $1M signing bonus and $4.2M base salary in 2025, before being traded to the Seahawks at the 2025 deadline, making him an Unrestricted Free Agent in 2026.   His initial deal was a 2-year, $6.185M contract with $1M guaranteed through 2025.    Rashid Shaheed's scouting report highlights him as an electrifying, big-play deep threat receiver known for elite efficiency on deep routes, explosive plays, and reliable hands (zero drops over multiple seasons), though he's undersized (around 180 lbs) and needs to improve blocking and route running consistency to shed his "situational/boom-or-bust" label and become a full-time WR1/WR2.     Strengths: Elite Deep Threat: Ranks among the league's best in air yards per target and yards per reception, consistently producing 30+ yard catches and touchdowns. Playmaker: "A playmaker" who excels at making plays downfield and adding a vertical dimension to offenses. Reliable Hands: Showcased impressive ball skills with zero drops over recent seasons, even making contested catches. Efficiency: Finishes high in metrics like yards per route run, demonstrating effective production when targeted. Undrafted Gem: A significant value find for the Saints, proving overlooked prospects can excel.      Areas for Improvement: Size/Blocking: At around 180 lbs, he's smaller and less effective as a blocker, which limited his snaps in New Orleans compared to bigger receivers. Route Running: Needs to develop cleaner routes and better consistency in intermediate areas to earn more targets beyond deep shots. Consistency/Role: Often a "boom-or-bust" or situational player due to volume fluctuations, needing more consistent targets to reach WR1 status.      Role/Projection: Schematic Weapon: Stretches defenses, creating space for other players and opening up the run game, making offenses more efficient. Fantasy Profile: A high-upside FLEX or WR4, capable of winning weeks with big plays but dependent on volume and quarterback play. Future Outlook: His value hinges on earning a larger, more consistent role, potentially becoming a true WR2 with more opportunity and development in blocking/route running.   
    • A team that wants to win at any cost rolls with Young and Dalton for 3 years? 
    • Trubisky would be a top 5 backup QB with potential for long term replacement stretches if Bryce gets benched.  The issue will be price. Also a big fan of Allar late in the draft. THAT is the kind of injury gamble you take. Not in the 2nd but on a 5th-7th rounder that was formerly a top 2 round prospect.
