Vet minimum to replace mcbob. He couldn't be worse. Mcbob doesn't play defence. He doesn't score. And even tho the offence runs through him he's not a facilitator and IMO we just don't have any talent at the pf spot. So he'll why not. Bring him in if even possible.

He's 35 can dribble and facilitate which would help a ton. And he used to could shoot 3's which would also help. But idk how much more he's got left but it can't be worse than mcbob.

Well... after reading this poorly written, error-filled, yet highly informative article, it appears Turk has fully crossed over into the "garbage" category.

It appears he has lost what ability he had, but he's determined to show everyone he's not done. Honestly, I knew he had to be in his mid-30s before reading it, which may or may not translate to a decline in ability dependent on the player, but I think in his case, he is done.

Regardless, it appears our team has jumped the shark for the season, so at this point, what the hell... sign him and let's have some entertainment. If he's still got something, awesome. If not, we still. Suck, who cares...

      Serious question:  Why LG and not RG?  There may be something I do not know, but Hunt's contract is huge and he could be let go after this season (post june 1 cut) and it would save the Panthers a ton of money.  Extending him would be paying a G who is in his mid 30s guaranteed money (and I do not see that as a terrible thing).  So if we release him at age 31, we save $19m.  I like him, but at 31, will he be worth the mega contract?   LG Damien Lewis has actually outperformed Hunt and he is a year younger.  He would also save less vs. the cap and leave less in the dead cap pool.  While his current contract expires after the 2027 season, he is a better prospect (IMO) to extend because only 50% of his current contract was guaranteed.  Here are his contract numbers.   Now, getting to Ickey--he could want LT money if he is offered a second contract.  If we pay him LT money to play either G positions, we are likely overpaying.  Secondly, the injury he suffered could be one that limits his productivity.  Ickey was improving, but he was an average LT.  The only way I re-sign Ickey is to have him accept a G contract and make a lot of it incentive based.     I feel like I am missing something, but in my mind, Ickey was always a guard if you consider the fact that he is an average OT and would be a great G.  Is that still the case (injury)?
