I hope we make some free agency splash. And I know this article is about DJ and Brown, but gawd is there any way in hell we can move Tyrus Thomas?

I believe if TT would have been dealt with, it would have been in the draft. But not one of those teams is willing to take all that money and Thomas. Not sure if there will be any team willing to take on the money and give us something in return.

Also, Diddy, I thought Kemba was going to take over since he was the 9th pick over all last year. Thought we were riding with him now and letting DJ walk?

I'm excited to see what Kemba can do with full reign over the position, but no way we should let DJ walk for nothing. I've always liked DJ and hope if he doesn't stay as the backup that we get some value for him and move him to a good team. He's a good player and a good dude.

I just think it's the logical thing to do in extending the QO to him, so we cover ourselves and guarantee compensation in some way.

But again, I have no idea why we extended the QO to UPS. I'd much rather have Dj White in tow.

One wonders if Cho is even trying at this point.

Two days of bad news in a row. The Bobcats were taking a SF. Gilchrist was the #1 SF on everyone's list, so they took him. Doesn't mean they loved him more than the other top 5 prospects, they just couldn't acquire more assets, so they had no choice.

Now they restrict Augustin & Brown.

Yeah, Cho's quit.

One would hope. With the Bobcats, expect the worst.

They couldn't have offered Augustin "LESS" to guarantee that he walks?

Not sure I understand what you are getting at with the last sentence? Or really anything that you are saying for that matter.

All we did was extend a qualifying offer. They are both young players with some value. No point in not considering retaining them. Especially Augustin. Hell, DJ could compete for the starting PG spot, and is at the very least much needed depth. You could project him having a critical roll if he were to resign.

      Major Concerns with this team…with numbers

      By Stumpy · Posted

      The good news is that we are pretty uniquely well established to address all of our needs this season. We have $14m real cap space, and something like $40m in trade deadline cap space. Not sure exactly how that works out. But, we have the room to absorb any bad contracts. With recent rule changes regarding retention, that went into effect this season, we now have a huge advantage in the trade market.  On top of that, while we do have obvious needs, we also have a glut of talent in certain areas that we struggle to find ice time for. We are over-stocked on scrappy talented lil-guys, strong defensively sound 3rd liners and shutdown left shot dmen. Whether it's a package or separate deals, idk. But, one of each from Stank/Blake/Nads, Erob/Carrier/KK/Jank, and Walker/Nystrom; throw in some 1st round picks (and frankly any other prospects they want) and we should be able to come out with a 1b to pair with Bussi and either a 2c with size or a 2c and size.   TL/DR We got the money, you got the stuff?

      I don’t  think 6’4 was ever considered small or undersized. Baby hands tho, yes that was his thing That’s an interesting idea, like an optical illusion? Sounds like you have personal experience with this!

      in the 25' draft the Carolina Panthers had hired Brandt Tillis someone who actually understood how to build a successful team & build through the draft .  this team was yes mismanaged for years prior to Brandt Tillis joining the team in 25' & rarely done anything right in the draft outside occaionaly getting lucky on an UDFA such as Jalen Coker who's dad coincidentally happened to be a huge Carolina Panthers fan, hint hint  ...just saying
