The Bobcats are said to be preparing an offer for unrestricted free agent Rockets point guard Goran Dragic.

It's hard to imagine Dragic playing in Charlotte, but it certainly seems possible now, if the money is right. He's also being targeted by several other teams, including the Mavericks, Suns and Raptors, but wherever he lands, Dragic is nearly guaranteed to be a starting NBA point guard next season. He played well enough last season to lose his sleeper status in most fantasy circles, but will be a highly popular PG pick if he lands in the right situation.

The Charlotte Bobcats have prepared an offer for unrestricted free agent point guardGoran Dragic, according to CBSSports.com's Ken Berger.

We already submitted a qualifying offer to Augustin, so if we land Dragic; we could possibly have a damn good group of point guards.

PG- Goran Dragic, D.J. Augustin, Kemba Walker

However, if we land Dragic and someone decides to submit an offer sheet for Augustin; we will most likely not match that offer.

Dragic averaged 11.7 points per game, 5.3 assists per game, 2.5 rebounds per game, and 1.3 steals per game last year with the Houston Rockets.

Dragic also recorded eight double-double's.

Points: 26

Assists: 14

Rebounds: 7

Steals: 4

Blocks: 1

Also of note, Dragic hit his stride in the final two months of play last year and that was with a mediocre and semi-talented Rockets team. To be honest, I don't see the Rockets being much more talented than us; they just gave more effort.

Anyway, Dragic had 27 straight games where he hit double figures in the last two months of the regular season; and in those two months seven double-double's and averaged 16.95 points per game.

He was pretty incredible for the Rockets down towards the end of the year.

If we get him for him for a good price, I will be pleasantly surprised and extremely happy. However, I would still be thrilled to have Dragic even if we do overpay him (a little) because of his impressive leadership skills; which is something Augustin doesn't have and never will have and something that Kemba hasn't acquired yet.

      Bryce Young is the worst QB in Panthers History

      By dep · Posted

      Watched the recent Mic'd up which had the Bucs game. This angle makes that fumble look so much worse, pretty sure it was inbetween Bryce's hands.   bbb.mp4

      The ickey ekwonu question...

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Here is what you did not mention (and I have not read the thread--but will--it is a needed) and that is the MAFF.  He is in a contract year (2026-5th year) and we will not know (in all likelihood) how the knee is healing by the time we have to decide on a mega deal.   If you consider the time it takes to fully heal is 12 months if all goes well, the injury is known to shorten careers.  Of course, a man of 330 lbs who needs agility to perform at a high level makes the injury a bit more serious than it was for Jimmy Graham, for example, who recovered in a remarkable 9 months.  Having said all that, I think he should be moved inside to guard.   While many NFL linemen can return to play after patellar tendon surgery, studies show a significant failure rate and reduced performance, with return-to-play (RTP) rates often cited around 50-56%, meaning roughly 44-50% don't make it back, and even those who do often see reduced careers and statistics, highlighting it as a devastating injury for linemen." I think you have to go after an elite OT, and I think it should be a first rounder because you don't sign elite LTs in free agency.  Ickey is already going to get paid $18m or so in 2026.    However, the money you save by not locking him down long term could go to a free agent edge or ILB.  It is very complicated if you start factoring in contracts, risks, cap, and the odds of recovery.

      Evero and the pass rush

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      Yes, we played the 2nd most cover 3 in the NFL behind the Raiders.   The flats and seams are the areas you want to attack it so its soft spots are areas qbs can hit quickly which can definitely hurt the pass rush.
