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.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
