Sweet, now let's just get Jamison and call it an off season.

2012-2013 Current Roster

PG: Kemba Walker, Ramon Sessions

SG: Gerald Henderson, Ben Gordon, Reggie Williams, Matt Carroll

SF: Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Jeffrey Taylor, Derrick Brown

PF: Bismack Biyombo, Tyrus Thomas

C: Brendan Haywood, Byron Mullens, DeSagana Diop

If we sign Jamison, I can see Carroll, Thomas and Diop as the three inactive's for each game.

We have had a very nice offseason. I like the roster. Its going to be an exciting year. Things are looking up for the Bobcats! We will have the money to sign a star as well and have created a roster to where a star could say, ok I think I could be that missing piece.

Thats all I asked for.

How many games do you think Haywood plays...in limited time he gets banged up every season it seems. He adds a presence but id rather have a Scola or JJ hickson.. Ben Gordon is really an awkward fit for the roser..he adds shooting but a 6'0 tall backcourt is not exciting.

I want to see a lot of MKG, Taylor and Gerald Henderson...if they go small.

Great move. We'll still get a high draft pick, but we'll hopefully be a bit more respectable and fun to watch (ie sell some tickets) with this roster we're putting together. Build through draft and smart signings. A big like Haywood for 2 mill a year, at age 32, is not bad at all. He won't put up a ton of points but he'll give us another defensive guy down low when Biz is on the bench. If Tyrus can somehow turn it around we'll have a decent defensive front court to play around with.

This offseason continues to be a success. I can't expect anything more than what has been done. If we can get Jamison or if we possibly go after Scola, that'll be icing on the cake.

That's not a a small lineup at all, two of those three guys are great sized small forwards.

If they go small, expect a Walker and Gordon combo, which shouldn't happen at all because those two probably can't play together. When Gordon is in, I expect Sessions to be in.

Also I give Haywood 3/4 of the season.

Finally, they are still looking to bring in another power forward (Humphries, Jamison, Scola, and Landry are all options).

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I guess so. Don't think I was involved with previous discussions.  Tepper is one of the newest owners in the NFL. Dan is going into his 3rd season as a GM - ever. Dave is going into his 3rd season as a HC - ever. Before becoming a HC, he was an OC/playcaller for one season total. Idzik is about to go into his 1st year as a play caller - ever. WRs are rookies, sophomores and 3rd year guys - though the experienced 3rd year guys are XL and Coker (who has missed a ton of games). TEs are guys going into their 2nd and 3rd seasons, and Tommy Tremble - though Sanders has missed a ton of games. QB has played 3 years. Chuba is an experienced RB, but Brooks and Etienne have taken very little snaps at the position. O-line is more experienced vets with some talent - which is HUGE. Need them to stay healthy. I mean the offense is very young in every aspect except O-line. You see it differently?

      I said this ALL last season and will say it again this year. Our record means diddly squat this year, I don't care if we have 0 wins or 17 wins, I only care about one thing and one thing only. Bryce proves without a shadow of a doubt that he IS or ISN'T our long term solution at QB. It's the only thing that matters for the same reason it sucks that this is the same thing as last year.  This needs to be determined, and if they can't determine it, then it's still telling the team the answer, just not the one they want to hear. As right now we're in the ultimate QB purgatory, a position that dooms franchises for years.  Just look at a team like the Cardinals, who extended a better QB and it still screwed them over and haven't had a contending team in a long time. People get too caught up on wins and losses when evaluating players, particularly QBs.  When people look at the final record and use that as a reason to want to extend a QB or not is just a fools errand.  If we had lost 2-3 more games last year because we didn't make a last second FG, I genuinely wonder if we would have just moved on from Bryce this offseason (like we should have been doing anyways IMHO).
