I just don't trust him to be healthy and think they are risking doing a rebuild during CMC's prime years if they don't do it now. My gut says trade him and tank for 1 year and hope to be at the top of the draft board in 2021 to take a shot at Lawrence or Fields. However, if the medicals clear him and there is a strong chance of him lasting another 5 years, then you just build up that line and work with what you got.
Prior to Luke Retiring, I thought they should go all in for Cam's last season on the current deal or maybe take Tua if he falls to 7 since we could let him have a year off. Now I'm not so sure.
Judging by the bags Hurney paid J.Stew and DeAngelo Williams, He's going to pay McCaffrey QB money.

Unfortunately I'm expecting nothing from both.
Double strike out on the day. Oh well.

Cody being the last Horncat to have been here continuously got me thinking about all the players still active in the NBA that have worn that glorious orange and navy.
Marvin and Vonleh just missed the cut, having joined the team in the transition offseason (in a way, as does Dwight Powell, whom we drafted and immediately traded). We also just lost Shaun Livingston to retirement. Looks like there are I 8(ish) names:
Cody
Biz
MKG
Kemba
Anthony Tolliver (Kings)
DJ Augustin (Magic)
Garrett Temple (Nets)*
Jared Dudley (Lakers)*
HM: Tobias Harris (76ers), technically drafted by Charlotte then traded for Biz.

Tyson Chandler makes 9, and I'm pretty sure that's it.
Ajinca, Felton, Livingston played last season but aren't on teams this year.

A little more than 2 days notice might have been nice as well!!
They’ve given you very little time to react and to try and put something else in place.

I feel like networks being unable to make deals with fox sports is a reoccurring thing over the past 5-10 years.
Leadership over there either plays hardball like a **** or is allergic to making their customers happy

The regional sports networks make a much higher % of revenue from cable fees and they know the people that want those channels will be vocal about losing them.
I would honestly pay a sports only subscription because I literally never watch anything else on Cable. YouTubeTV was super close to being that before they added a bunch of channels and it ballooned to $50. I might cancel until football season or whenever they are able to renegotiate the deal whichever comes first.

When the FS regional networks left Sling, I followed not long thereafter. But I couldn't bring myself to pay double what I was used to for YouTube, Hulu, or Fubo. So I'll get pie now and then, but for the most part I've checked out this year.

Trivia project for someone: what players spent their entire NBA careers in Charlotte? I'm not including guys who played for a couple minutes in 2-3 games, so no 10-day contracts.The only ones I know of who played multiple seasons and never played for other teams are Tony Bennett and Jeff Taylor.

Kemba and Cam can start a Charlotte FO disrespect support group. I guess Bridgewater is the Panther's Rozier.

No Cam, no Luke, no Greg.
Panthers gonna suck butt next season.
I expected Cam to leave soon, but I figured he'd retire because of injuries not being traded.

It is kind of crazy how much the Panthers and Hornets track each other. If only one hot run in the NBA meant a realistic shot at a championship like it does in the NFL.

I'm stumped. Turns out the Darrin Hancock's of the world all have played for other teams.
Hope everyone on the borad is safe and doing okay!
