You cant sign good free agents unless you are under the salary cap. Occasionally contending teams will land a decent player with the MLE, but those guys usually end up overpaid. Until now the bobcats havent been under the salary cap since, idk, the Jason Richardson trade?

Who was the last big free agent Dallas signed? Diop?

Didn't they sign Vince Carter and Caron Butler in the last few years? Miami don't have money but they have had a few guys in for visits.

Well Miami and the other serious contenders are going to get the vets chasing a ring for cheap, the bobcats arent in the running for those guys. The other 25 NBA teams have to either overpay in free agency or have some other connection (Dragic used to play in PHX, Jamison is looking at us b/c he played college here).

Butler was a trade, Vince was well past his prime when they signed him

You have a point though. Now that the Bobcats have the cap space they need to use it this year or next

I don't want them to overspend but dam we could have went after Hibert. We could have given Hawes 21 mil.

We could be trying to sneak Brook Lopez out of Brooklyn they can't pay him now. How would they match a big contract offer from us?

Going after Hibbert would have been pointless, he has already signed a max offer sheet from the Blazers, and the Pacers will likely match anyways. What else could we have offered? And if you are complaining about the team's rebounding, I wouldnt go after Brook Lopez, the worst rebounding 7 footer I've ever seen.

Hawes would be a nice add though, especially if we could sign him to a 2 or 3 year deal

While Brook isn't a good rebounder he is a great low post scorer and passer which is something we've needed since we had the franchise.

      Don't think your comparisons are germaine. Teddy and Bryce are nothing alike. And no I am not always right  or  wrong but the difference is I let the experts inform me and follow those who do know. And after all the constant wrong takes you go on and on about just like this one, I don't feel like we are kindred souls or like minded. I will be glad to compare my takes versus yours anytime.  And have no clue what you are talking about regarding stern lectures. But I can see around here if you take a constant negative approach to everything you get a lot of support and given our track record you may be right about some things. I don't live my life that way nor do I constant like to complain like you.

      Never, and it doesn't have to be an old grizzled vet, sometimes a vet can learn something from a young player too.   Do you not see players talking to each other between plays, quarters, on the bench, wherever, in EVERY sport? It's what players do, especially the great ones, they're always working on their craft and learning tips from others to better themselves.   So when your entire receiving room outside of one player, who has mostly played special teams in his career, has played 1 season or less in the NFL, it's not a lot of experience there in the locker room and on the sideline and is a tad concerning in regards to the proper growth of all these young WRs with great potential.
