Serious Question?

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.

    • Yeah lol well the interest isn’t really about seeking stimulation.  I wanted to see how actually bad it was.  And how much of it was women setting him up to be their cash cow.  That is the stuff that leveraged the Panthers into David Tepper’s hands. It is important in that sense.     The worst that I have heard is that he got them in the car and clumsily reached across to help them with their seat belt and made contact. With his arm. That was probably his big slick move. And I can almost guarantee he wasn’t rejected every time. It is easy to picture that action bringing his head close enough to the woman’s head to where he could go in for the kiss if he thought he got the green light.    I really don’t care if JR was a horn dog. We heard all our lives up until the last few years that one of the perks of being really old is that you can flirt with the young women and it is not just tolerated but expected. So he was keeping a tradition alive at some point 😂
    • Well I rubbed some dirt on it and am still here just not optimistic about the future of the QB position. Even what I had accepted as a ceiling raised to an acceptable level turned out to be a bit of a mirage, upon rewatch of the WC game.  Good plays were there yes, but some pretty bad ones too that the good ones late in the game kind of obscured. I have to downgrade that a little.  Especially after rewatching the last 4 plays. I remember the arguments about he did his job the WRs didn’t but that was really just that last muff by Coker I think it was on our final offensive play.   To the future: I know what my level is for paying him and recommitting, but I don’t have any confidence that the team shares my high bar.    But thanks for the pep talk
