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.

      Rookie Mini Camp

      By strato · Posted

      I noticed Canales commented on King having a live arm. Weinke coached him and said he could make any throw an NFL team would ask him to make.  His mechanics and general process of throwing looks a little wonky to me though. Haven’t really zoomed in on that though to say more.     Brazzell, his hands look at least decent to me and of course his speed is there.   Love his balance.  Like a cat, always comes down on his feet. Not his butt.

      Vrabel and Russini? Athletic investigating.

      By strato · Posted

      If Veabel is the father the name, unfortunately…. well you are looking at Mike Jr.    I feel bad for the husband And the kid though. Especially the kid who had no hand in anything and is just a victim.   Most people would develop some pretty big issues around the chaos of finding out nothing you were told about your father was true and you have been calling the wrong guy Dad.  And trusting your mother, well that is over too.     She should be permanently burned as a reporter or rumor reporter. Whatever she I was.    Who can trust anything she says?   Vrabel has outed himself as a total phony. No credibility whatsoever.

      Jaycee Horn Contract Restructured

      By strato · Posted

      My worry is about his concussion. Concussions.  Last thing we need is for him to  be like Jewel. I am looking forward to him benefiting from better players around him in the defense.  Defending QBs under a little more pressure than the last few years.  Better coverage defense in front of him in the middle.
