Not a good idea. That pick is only Top 1 protected next year and even with a Jabari Parker, or Andrew Wiggins, the pick could easily be in the Top 10 next year. The Pistons are not one player away.

Add a quality player mid-1st round this year, and next year add 2 1st round picks... then we're on our way.

They were borderline playoffs till trade deadline, they've completely tanked since then. They have two low post threats, a pg and josh Smith. Add a good player to that mix and it's a playoff team easily in the east.

Half the east is purposely being bad and the Bobcats can't even get above .500 ball in a horrible east that's nearly 200 games below .500 as a whole.

Next year Orlando, Boston, Toronto, Miami, Indiana, Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago, Brooklyn and the Knicks will all be better unless Charlotte can add an actually consistent outside scoring threat. There's none of those in FA or the draft at Portlands pick.

Either make a trade for a scorer on the wing or it's back to the lottery. That's this teams ceiling as built, the only reason teams even in the playoff hunt is because of all the tanking teams and injuries.

Orlando is decent and on an uptick, especially if they get a solid player in the draft to team with Vucevic and Oladipo and Afflalo

 

Boston is still 2 years away from competing, but are putting something together up there

 

Toronto is probably going to lose Lowry in the offseason. They will not be getting better- probably hope to stay even

 

Miami is getting older by the minute with Wade and Hasslem and Battier, etc. They still are the top dogs though.

 

Indy is on the up-tick too.

 

Cleveland needs to prove they can be healthy and win consistently. They have yet to do that, ever

 

Detroit is a train wreck that will be losing Monroe to some other team this offseason. They will be mildly better i assume but not significantly.

 

Chicago surprises me time after time. Add in a quality player or 2 in the draft and D.Rose... solid

 

Brooklyn has 1-2 more year window at the most..

 

Knicks just sprayed some Phil Jackson-deodorizer on the biggest disappointment of the year. They need to tank before they get better

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
