Lol. I believe you're the one who need to. Lying straight through your teeth. Remember you play soccer for D1 and worked for the Panthers?

Just keeping piling lies up on top of one another. Pretty soon it'd be taller than the Twin Towers.

If you must know.

Had an offer to play DI and had to turn it down, had an internship with the Panthers lined up for last year but postponed it so I could get class credit for it.

Obviously you wouldn't know these things, so I forgive you.

Anyone have any info Deng they can bring to the table?

I'd genuinely like to know what he brings to the team that we don't already have.

He's not a liability defensively and he's got a consistent mid range game.  We don't have a consistent shooting at SF.  True vet....would be good for Vonleh to be around.  At 6-8 he can play PF if we go small.

i like deng, he's an elite wing defender, who's got a good mid-range game and would bring great leadership to a team... although i consider him an upgrade over MKG on current ability, i dont think id want him on the hornets team. if we're serious about MKG then he needs to be kept faith in and be our starter.

 

plus i think dallas will put in an offer of about $40m/4 years and he will go there (Dallas have previously shown interest and i think he would drop his salary slightly in order to play for an organisation that has dirk playing for them). 

 

if we're going to sign a SF this off-season, i'd prefer a scorer (even if it means sacrificing a little defence).... although from the free agents out there, i cant really see one that is likely to be reasonably priced and interested in coming to charlotte! - so id probably try and resign CDR for a further year.

We already have this convo. Not going at it another time. What idiot would turn an offer for D1 down? What idiot would postponed an intern with Panthers? Only the idiot who that never happened to. Quit dreaming. Quit lying.

Please. Do it for your mother.

He has a decent mid range game. However like I told Chuck 44% of his shots come in the paint. In comparison only 34% of Hayward's shots come in the paint and his field goal percentage is almost identical to Dengs while accomplish something that our team desperately needs, floor spacing.

As for his defense, that's something that MKG already brings to the game.

Oh and Hayward is also 6'8".

By the way, I'm not even that big of Hayward fan but I'd take him over Deng 100 times out of 100.

I would just think if you're going to drop $12 mil on Deng you might as well drop the $15.8 on Hayward and get the supreme player.

An idiot that doesn't want to play soccer in Kansas and an idiot that wants college credit so I can potentially land a job with the Panthers after I graduate this year ...

How about you chill with the personal attacks. I'm pretty sure you've been warned multiple times already. I'd appreciate if you didn't bring my deceased family members into the conversation as well.

I enjoy having conversations with you but, there's no need to bring my life into a conversation about Deng.

Honesty it makes you look pathetic that you can't discuss a basketball topic without getting defensive.

Hey man I'd take Hayward over Deng too.  I strongly doubt we pay him 12 million.  I see 8.5 to 9 million tops.  If Atlanta wants to over pay Deng let them.  I would take Deng at 9 million over Hayward at 15million, especially if it's the difference in signing Stephenson or not.

I would take Hayward over Deng 100 out of 100 times too. But, Hayward will likely remain in Utah based off everything.

Deng or Lance will be a Hornet!!!! Quit crying about it.

Chuck that's a bit strong brother.  Remember we all love the same teams.

 

Edit: thought I was posting in a different thread for a minute.

      Nice to win, but Tim Weaver of SI has key duds among the studs

      It is hard to win in the NFL. I’m never going to put an * next to a Dub.

      The Dowdle Mirage - Play Calling Problems

      We had a very favorable matchup our o-line manhandles theirs. Even Etienne looked like he would have had a great game on his limited rushing opportunities.

      The Dowdle Mirage - Play Calling Problems

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I think that's part of the problem, he's spreading the ball around too much, many of them are the first read play calls, and on top of that, a large portion of them are purposefully called screens or other short passes. I just looked, the Cardinals are the only other team in the league right now without at least 3 players with 100+ yards receiving so far this year, with the majority of teams having 4 or more.  And even then, their #2 right now is McBride with over 200 yards. Our 2nd leading receiver this year has 108 yards (albeit with 4 more players with 82 or more). On the surface, that might not be as alarming as you might think, but when you add into it that Bryce is currently 6th in the league in pass attempts, and it's even more alarming that he hasn't gotten a 3rd player to 100 yards so far and his second highest is only 108. XL has 39 yards on 18 targets.  Renfrow has 82 yards on 24 targets.  Tremble has 87 on 16 targets.  Sanders has 92 on 14 targets. None of those are good enough, so why aren't we calling more plays with T-Mac as the first read and forcing the ball to him (and again, that's not me wanting my guy to get more targets, that's me wanting more targets for the only productive pass catcher so far this year, I'd feel the same no matter what that player's name was). All of this is why I have issues with Canales' play calling.  How do you have a player who had 73 yards in the first half and then you only give him 1 target in the 2nd half despite playing from behind the majority of that time? You can be happy about the win, happy about Dowdle getting 200 yards, but in a game where your QB threw it 30 times, I can't accept the above sentence in the same breath, that's just terrible play calling, which is on top of the already predictable play calling in general, which is also on top of boring play designs as well. Add it all up, and THAT is why I'm unhappy even after a win, not because "my guy" didn't have a bigger game.
