Centers:

Andrew Bynum - 18.7 pts - 11.8 rebs - will cost MAX

Al Jefferson - 17.7 pts - 9.4 rebs - wll cost MAX

Dwight Howard - 16.3 pts - 11.9 rebs - will cost MAX

J.J. Hickson - 13.1 pts - 10.4 rebs - will cost a lot of $$$, will he come home to NC roots?

Chris Kaman - 12.0 pts - 6.1 rebs - probably will go to a winning team

Samuel Dalembert - 7.0 pts - 5.8 rebs - a Vet that is exactlly what we hope Biz turns into- mentoir?

Jason Maxiell - 6.8 pts - 5.6 rebs - big body that will play defense and rebound

Andris Biedrins - 0.5 pts - 3.0 rebs - had a good year about 3 years ago

Nikola Pekovic ® - 16.0 pts - 9.0 rebs - will cost a lot to make it happen $$$

Dejuan Blair ® - 5.4 pts - 3.9 rebs - out of rotation looking for minutes

Timofey Mozgov ® - 2.9 pts - 2.7 rebs - out of rotation looking for minutes

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

bP's list of possibles:

Paul Millsap - will have to throw MAX $$ and out bid everyone

Samuel Dalembert - will have to make attractive offer that most teams won't give him

Antawn Jamison - dangle the homecoming for him again

Nikola Pekovic ® - offer MAX deal and a city that will love you forever

Byron Mullens ® - bring back and make focal point of offense

Dejuan Blair ® - offer a starting spot and decent $$

Timofey Mozgov ® - offer a ton of minutes backing up Biz

bP's probable outcome:

we will throw out a MAX contract to Pekovic, Bynum, Jefferson, Howard, Smith, West and Millsap but none stick.

We end up resigning Mullens and overpay for Blair and Dalembert.. sorry..

LOL you think that Cho will throw a max contract to Pekovich, West, and Milsap????????????????????????

WHAT?!?!?

I can almost understand Pekovich, but a max contract to David West and Paul Millsap... LOL

I don't mean to sound rude here, but honestly that is extremely laughable.

I honestly think they could get Bynum believe it or not. He doesn't give a poo about anything but money. Now if Houston is willing to give him the max that's another story, but if nobody else is willing to risk it with his knees and the Bobcats will.....Also, you have to ask yourself do you want to commit the max to Bynum....

I like Bynum and I miss his smoothness on offense so much, but I would not even consider giving him a max contract. Maybe he gets healthy, and maybe he doesn't. Judging by his history -- he won't ever be fully healthy and something like that could cripple your franchise financially. Is Andrew Bynum worth the max if he is healthy every year? No doubt (best offensive big in the NBA when healthy). It just doesn't look like he will ever be healthy.

I agree with this completely. Was a huge Bynum fan when he was in L.A., and still want to see the kid do well. Doesn't help that he just literally doesn't give a poo about anything but getting paid and partying though....

I think any team going after Pekovic will have to include an poison pill of some sort to make it happen. It's going to take a lot of money too. Probably around 11-14 million a season plus the poison pill year, which might surprise some on here. Not sure if he's worth that kind of money though.

I wouldn't. He could be a good bench player thoe. But I'm not maxing a bench player.

Idk man. I think that he's worthy of a max contract. Should probably give him, Hendo, 32 year old David West, JJ Hickson, etc all max contracts.

I would like to see Mullens paired with a true, good, center and see how he plays. Obviously it would be nice to get two of these bigs, but if we only get one, and keep Mullens, I'd be semi-OK. It's time for that advantage of having Jordan as the GM to play out. Maybe money+Jordan+possible name change can bring guys here.

I know everyone wants titles, but maybe we can snag someone that wants to find a team, and make it HIS team. You can be a superstar on the Bobcats while just another player on some other teams, lol.

      C Mc. Gotta love this guy!!

      TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive.

      Teddy Checkdown in trouble

      I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Nobody is saying they don't count against the cap, because yes, they technically do count against the cap as it's money the team is paying and it needs to be accounted for. But what you're not grasping it seems is that if a player gets $10 million guaranteed in their contract, whether they get literally $0 as a signing bonus or $8 million as a signing bonus, it doesn't change the overall cap hit of the contract, because cap hits are about the guaranteed money, not how much is paid up front. The only thing that how much is paid up front changes, is how the cap hit can be spread out amongst the years. So yes, technically there could end up being a slightly bigger cap hit in year 3 and 4 due to a bigger signing bonus, but if that is the case, it also means there will be a lesser cap hit in years 1 and 2 than there would have been with a smaller bonus.  But over the length of the contract, the size of the signing bonus has literally zero affect on the overall cap hit of the contract, because THAT part of it is 100% about the guaranteed money and nothing else.
