No, I don't need to name one just like I don't need to name every species of ant to know that ants exist, because the question is a stupid one that proves nothing whether I did or didn't.

This is your entire posting logic in a nutshell.

Just shows that the young PFs are not ready, market had nothing here but marvin. He was a mid level type of value in my book, but what's 1.xx more when the young players are not ready? Putting zeller or noah out there could ruin either. He fills a need and once his contract is done either zeller/noah should be ready

Hahaha....now I've heard it all. So you just keep referring to past performance to fug with me, not because you mean it? Hahahaha

Do you get that teams will pay a little more to get a player on a shorter contract? In your Lance mancrush have you not seen Dallas may pay more to get him for two years?

You've got a long way to go in your armchair GM major, obviously.

And have you not seen that teams pay players that they want on their teams whatever it takes to get those players on their teams?

 

So, like I said, if Williams required $7M a year then he was not worth having on the team. 

 

The mechanics of contracting is ancillary to the point I'm making. 

 

They signed Marvin Williams because they wanted him, and they overpaid him because of it, which makes wanting him stupid.

Maybe he'll have a "breakout year" if he's not the 4th option behind Paul George, David West and Roy Hibbert.

 

His 54% from 2pts and 36% from 3pts are much more important than his "PPG." Guys with much higher PPG shoot much worse percentages than Stephenson does, proving that opportunities (field goal attempts per game) matter just as much. He'd get many more of those in Charlotte, so his PPG should increase.

 

Hayward averaged 3PPG more than Stephenson while shooting 29% from 3pts and 45% from 2pts, obviously because he got a lot more attempts per game, and people here thought he was worth almost $16M a year? Some of you people are a joke. 

 

shooting %'s are not the end all be all. i could find complete one dimensional role players who have good shooting %'s. 

 

heyward was / is worth more money because he is simply more skilled and a better basketball player than lance regardless of any stats.

Yep...seems pretty obvious to me too.

I never said they were the "end all be all," I said they also matter. 

 

Whether Hayward is a "more skilled and better basketball player" is debatable. Hayward struggled last season as the #1 option on Utah even though he averaged more points. Lance didn't struggle as the #4 option on Indiana, but he didn't have as much responsibility either.

 

We don't know what Stephenson would do as a #1 option, and he got way less opportunities than Hayward did, so it's premature to suggest that Hayward is the better of the two. 

 

He got offered more money because his PPG was higher...and other reasons.

And he could've filled that same "need" for less than $7M, or they could've found another PF who would fill that same short-term role for less than $7M, so again, why did they have to overpay this guy?

If you are buying something, if the salesman tells you can pay 14 million in two years, or 15 million in three years, do you really think you are getting something less expensive because it only costs 5 million per year?

 

We saved a couple million on this deal

Clifford said at the summer league game today it isn't a done deal with Marvin Williams

It's a done deal. Stop spewing false information. He just can't comment on him until the NBA league office "officially" approves it.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      These arguments are getting more and more disingenuous from both the pro and anti Bryce crowd. Bryce looked very good for stretches down the final 8 games. He finally showed glimpses of the guy that was projected as a top QB pick in the draft. Bryce also didn't look like a top 10 NFL QB.  I think we are so far removed from Prime Cam that we forget what an elite QB looks like. I could tell that when people were losing their minds and simping for Sam Darnold. This season needs to finally showcase Bryce as a franchise talent. If that doesn't happen, it's time to pivot. There are very few recent examples of QB's struggling or being a mixed bag through the first three seasons of starting and then suddenly becoming frachise caliber players.

      Are you arguing that his height deficiencies and footwork within the pocket have not been a present issue clearly seen on his game tape particularly in the games he struggled in? Because that's simply denying what everyone in this fanbase who have watched the games have seen. It's interesting how hardline BY fans here quickly and effortlessly pivot from whailing about being victimized to becoming the aggressor and hurling out allegations of bias and hatred. And at the end of the day while Bryce Young clearly improved significantly from the first two games of the season the reality of the situation is he still finished 42nd in yards per pass attempt behind Mac Jones and tied with Caleb Williams and 38th in passing yards per game behind the likes of Gardner Minshew Aidan O'Connell Drake Maye and Will Levis. Furthermore it took Bryce Young 23 games to surpass Panthers legend Kyle Allen's 13 games worth of passing yardage in 2019. So if your argument is he became a head and shoulders better passer over the course of the second half of the season the reality is we're still waiting to see that growth this season. And there is nothing controversial or vitriolic about saying so from the mind of a rational observer.
