At about 1:20 in the video a reporter asks Big Al if he would be thinking about talking to other players like Kemba talked to him last year and recruited him to come to Charlotte. Big Al's response was classic- "Who's said I haven't (already)!"

 

He continues to say that even last year guy would contact him about playing in Charlotte. They wanted confirmation about all the great stuff they had been hearing about coach Clifford. He said he has had a lot of phone calls dating back to the last 2 months of the season up until now.

I just think that is great. I hope Al can bring in someone with a little encouragement. Who do you think he has been talking to? Maybe someone on his old teams- Utah or Minnesota? Hayward maybe?

PG: Kemba Walker / Elfrid Payton

SG : Gordon Hayward / Gerald Henderson / Gary Neal

SF: Paul Pierce / Michael Kidd-Gilchrist / Jeff Taylor

PF: Aaron Gordon / Cody Zeller

C: Al Jefferson / Greg Stiemsma / Bismack Biyombo

I don't think Payton is lasting til 24, his stock has picked up big time. Some people are talking him up as a top 14 pick.

I swear some of y'all have never heard of Hayward until this offseason.

 

I swear some of ya'll read an article that hypes up a player and then decide that you're all of a sudden some expert on that player and swear they're the type of FA that we should throw a max contract to.

    • Maybe a weeeee bit exaggerating. I think he will be a great player. But that doesn’t look like someone that was super committed in the weight room during college which is just a little confusing. Maybe he cut some weight to try and run a better 40. We saw Julio come into the league a little skinnier, get bigger/stronger and really start dominating. Strength and size is important as a big physical x receiver. It’s not so important for the Devonta Smith role
    • I've watched literally every single snap of T-Mac's career, there isn't a person on these boards who knows his game better than I do.  And I'm telling you, he is a great fit for what Bryce does well, period. You keep talking about these "get open quick WRs" as what Bryce needs, but I couldn't disagree more, because it blatantly disregards what Bryce does best. AND NO.... that's not me saying we don't need any "get open quick" type of WRs, I've long said we still needed one of those in addition to a true outside #1, but it's not the only type of WR that can be a successful pairing with Bryce. Bryce's biggest strength is his mental side of the game, he reads defenses and plays chess instead of checkers.  That type of QB doesn't need to rely on his WR's to quickly create acres of separation because their mental side of the game will mean they are going to put the ball on the WR when they create even minimal separation, as he's going to anticipate it and throw the ball before the WR has even made his cut on the route. AND THAT is where and why Bryce and T-Mac are a great pairing.  When you have a guy with T-Mac's hands and catch radius, he doesn't need 5 yards of separation to get open and have Bryce then get the ball to him.   Bryce is going to be throwing the ball before he even makes his cut, so even if all T-Mac is able to do is create 1 yard of separation, the ball is getting to him when he creates that and because of his hands and size, he's plucking that ball out of the air before the defender even has a chance to close that 1 yard, because the ball is there as soon as T-Mac creates the room and turns his head.
    • I read an article a few days ago that places like Seattle green bay and a few others are revoking tickets rights to holders that sell 100% of their tickets. That would do a lot of good league wide for bringing back some home field advantages. We aren't the only team who's stadiums get over run by visitors. It happens basically everywhere. That would go a long way to bringing ticket costs down
