Cats trying to acquire Landry through sign and trade

While no deal between Charlotte and New Orleans is imminent, these sign-and-trade discussions are the reason that Landry hasn’t signed a deal with Golden State. The Warriors want to sign Landry outright, but the power forward would likely make more money if he were to be signed-and-traded to the Bobcats. He’s weighing his options and is no rush to make a decision. HoopsWorld

Hoopsworld is reporting that the Bobcats are attempting to acquire Carl Landry in a sign-and-trade with the Hornets, according to sources close to the situation.

The Hornets just acquired Ryan Anderson to play PF and want to get something of value for FA Landry, rather than letting him walk for free. The Bobcats have struggled to find the right PF as Byron Mullens has more of a midrange game and Tyrus Thomas has continually disappointed when given his chances. Landry would add a toughness to the 'Cats front line and if he does end up in Charlotte, we like his chances to carve out considerable fantasy value -- he could easily be a 15 point and seven rebound guy in the right situation.

Even more awesome? Someone posted a tweet from Bill Ingram or someone credible off of twitter and they said that the Hornets are interested in Gana Diop.

How awesome would that be? To get Landry for Diop, whether Diop is an expiring or not, I never thought anyone would trade for him.

When the h3ll are we going to get this deal in work? So we won't be talking Tony Mitchell next year ;)

Bismack really needs to come off the bench while Haywood and Landry starts. That will only benefit Biz for the future. He's rawer than raw steak right now.

Landry needs to be a Cats already.

Unrestricted FA Carl Landry is expected to make his decision in the next few days.

"There are a lot of teams pursuing (Landry), because he's probably the premier unrestricted free agent on the market," his agent Mark Bartelstein said. While that's likely just Landry's agent building up his market, it shouldn't take much longer for Landry to make a decision. He has been linked to the Warriors and Bobcats most prominently. "He just has to weigh his different options," Bartelstein added.

'"Landy, it seems is going to get a larger offer elsewhere. (Charlotte can offer more than GSW). He would like to play for the Warriors, but it sounds unlikely he'd take less money to play for GSW." writes Thompson'...

'That could put the Bobcats in good position, but if they don't come to the table with significantly more money than the Warriors, Landry could settle for joining the more talented team.' - Joe Kaiser

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
