Hearing of a trade in the works: Matt Carroll from Charlotte to New Orleans for Hakim Warrick

EDIT: For caps purposes. Carroll is a $3.5 million expiring and Warrick has two years left at $2 million per. So the cats would take on an extra $500k for someone who may actually produce off the bench occasionally.

Was looking at some of his career stats. He was only averaging around 7 mins per game in NO. But his production while playing has been terrific, especially if you prorate is statistics over a 48 minute period. I like the trade, he'll get more of a opportunity which should serve as more motivation. Carroll wasn't seeing the floor anyway seeing how we have BG coming off the bench. Way to be proactive Bobcats. People can call MJ a bad owner all they want, but the guy is learning and I'm happy he's our owner. GJ BOBCATS beat the Wizards tonight....I'll be watching.

Details in the guy?

He's never been a full time starter. Seeing his most minutes for the Grzzlies at the start of his career. Best year was averaging around 12 points a game in 23 minutes of action, though there was was never really drop off in his production if equated to his mpg. We'll be good depth for us coming off the bench. He's 6'9 215. From what I've remember of this guy I think he's quick and has a good mid range game. Defensively he's kind of light and I'm not sure he's gonna be able to body up against some of the thicker forwards. But he fits in an up tempo scheme, and possesses the ability to get up and down the floor. Overall I think he's really good depth that can provide solid production off the bench.

Really a good trade. The extra year means nothing really. PF is the spot we could use the most help.

I loved Carroll as a person and he was a hard worker. I think him and Kemba really got a long. But he wasn't see minutes and he doesn't add much besides spot up shooting.

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By SCO96 · Posted

      I feel the same way. Bryce hasn't proven himself to be so good that he would clearly lap anyone that we'd bring in the compete for the starting job. I think the team is actually afraid to do that. If Bryce goes down does anyone think Kenny Pickett is solid option to replace him?. We can control him for 2026 and 2027. The problem is 2028. Unless he takes a massive leap forward ability wise, I don't see how Carolina can justify paying B.Y. $50 million a year. So far, Bryce has not shown that he can CONSISTENTLY carry a team. He needs to be carried by a strong offensive line, running game, pass catchers and a respectable defense. If he's lacking any of those things I don't think we can make the playoffs in 2026/2027 unless the NFC South is as bad (or worse) than 2025. Unfortunately, athletes and agents have EGOs! When he has a chance for a 2nd contract his management team will probably insist on a "market deal" and feel insulted if they don't get one. That leaves a couple of options if his play hasn't significantly improved. 1) Let him walk and test the market. 2) Franchise him for the 2028 season if you're still not sure about what to do. 3) Extend him to a team friendly deal that pays him below the "current market" which would allow the team to continue to build a solid team to support him. 4) Over pay him and pretty much ruin any chance of becoming a consistent contender. The last option is the LEAST DESIRABLE ONE. The 2026 season is a pivotal season for Bryce and the Carolina Panthers. The success of the next 5-7 years could ultimately be decided on how well plays the next 2 seasons.

      Drake Maye ended up putting almost 300 on them lol. Bryce was stunned from the beginning to end. I know that's an easy comp for the Bryce truthers but no one else put up those puny QB stats against them all season long.
