What does everyone think about this? It was on PTI last week and there is a part in the rumors section of espn.com about it. (can't see it cause you need to be a insider) He is one of my all time favorite players but i think he is to old now. I guess it would be ok if Felton leaves after this season but other then that i don't see where he fits.

It's the Brown - Iverson Connection mainly. What adds fuel to the fire is we need a clutch scorer/ scorer plain and simple. That way everyone can fall into the roles Brown wanted them to. Bell coming off the bench with Augustine. Starting Lineup

Felton, Iverson, Wallace, Diaw, Okafor. Key reserves next season Augustine, Bell Alexis, Martin, Rad, Rookie from first round draft pick.

The only problem with it is if we sign felton back, Iverson would put the team over the Luxary cap for sure if Felton himself doesn't do it. Is the team willing to do that???? Would Iverson fit or ruin the great chemistry this team has???? Would it be worth the risk??? I could tell you for sure that signing Iverson and keeping the current team intact plus having a solid first round pick the team would sell out a lot of games early next season. Would it last and would the team keep winning is the biggest question mark.

Iverson will not be a Bobcat. Only reason people are spreading this rumor is because Iverson's most successful years were under Coach Brown. But I highly doubt Brown wants to bring him in. Iverson is a volume shooter, he needs the ball 85% of the time to be great. There are only a few teams in the league who will defer to AI (who is 33 now) shooting the ball 30 times a game. The Bobcats are not one of them.

Iverson has been and will always be my favorite player.. he is the Steve Smith of the NBA.. little guy that has the heart of a Lion.. loved him since he was a Hoya..

now, i wouldve said no way to this notion last year, the beginning of this year and even by mid season.. but when Iverson said he would come of the bench and take a reserve role in Detroit, i almost croaked.. his ego is no where near what it used to be.. he doesnt need to shoot the ball 85% of the time like King Taharqa said.. (i kno u r jus exagerating) but he is trying to do one thing, and one thing only - get a ring before he retires.. if that means taking 15 shots a game and letting teammates join in, so be it..

now, do i see it happening- no.. because we arent close to winning a ring.. we r scraping it out for a chance to get in the 8th spot.. In The EAST!!

he will go somewhere he has a legit shot at winning.. not here

You have read how he said he would rather retire than come off the bench right?

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By TD alt · Posted

      Now now now, I wouldn't say there is no logic, but there's just not a lot of in-depth thought put into Barnwell's  "analysis." Now to be fair to him (and other national writers), pre-season team rankings are basically clickbait. And...Barnwell, himself, said that "there's a lot of projection here." He basically admits that he doesn't know how the hell things are going to turn out with our receiver group. He also said that "I find myself" more intrigued by Coker than Legette; that does not mean that he said that fans should be, or that Coker will even be better than Legette (regardless of ESPN's per-route-run stat). So, yeah, Barnwell said some things, but even he has to basically admit that he doesn't know how bad or good that our playmakers will be in 2025.  Overall, what Barnwell is basically thinking is that the Panthers have gotten worse at the offensive skill positions, and baked into that is that others have gotten better. That's the argument in July (meaning, please don't give this any more weight than it's due). I would personally be surprised (not shocked) if we end up worse than the Titans, Pats and Giants at least. Once you throw in the Bills, Giants, Jets, Steelers, and even the Chargers, I personally think there are several teams' skill groups that may end up ranked lower than ours by the end of 2025.  @kungfoodudeis one of my dudes, but like others he is over the tipping point. He's had enough. Seeing is believing. I will say this though: Barnwell's piece is less about logic than just good ol' opinion. And to be honest, he might as well be a Huddler throwing out sh¡t in the summer based upon nothing but good feels or bad feels.  Our offense as a whole (just like any other team's) is going to depend upon the play of the O-line and especially the QB. How you can even rank the skill positions without expressly baking those two things in the cake is beyond me. I would dare say that that's not even logical.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      Bryce Young had a super high floor definitely at least won't be a bust safe pick we allegedly had seen in some time.......and went on to have one of the worst rookie seasons of all time.  They are all lotto picks.  And that is especially true for whatever they will be day 1 in the NFL.  I don't think Tmac is a sure thing year 1.  It's not like we watched him do his thing in the SEC.  He was a PAC12 guy.  I'm sure it will take time
