Marvin is better than McBob, & worth what he's making. The problem is he doesn't fit this team at all. He's a SF, not a PF. Especially when he's beside Big Al. If he's playing with a Center that provides a defensive presence you can play him at PF.

It's not his fault he's playing out of position. This is a terrible roster fit-wise.

"Better than" is a relative term in this case.

If you're skill set doesn't fit what a particular team or company does than you are not "better".

Personally, I think we should have just given Cody the reigns. If he works out great, if not then sign Millsap in the offseason.

14 mil is a lot to throw out to a guy with a very limited skill-set.

He was 3/5 from the field. What do you want? How much do you expect him to score when Lance, Kemba, & Al are all taking 15-20 shots a game?

McBob is so overrated on this board. He was a black hole on defense, couldn't rebound, a poor 3pt shooter despite getting wide open looks, etc. He made flashy passes and flashy dunks off broken plays. That's literally all he was good at. And he's making more than Marvin.

Lol @ this post.

Marvin sits in the corner and shoots three's. He has no ability to beat anyone off the dribble even though he's matched up against slower power forwards. He literally has no feel for our offense and it's clear that his catch and shoot skill set doesn't fit what we need at the power forward position. Notice down the stretch tonight it was Zeller getting the burn due to his ability to facilitate and move the ball in our offense.

As for McBob being a black whole on defense... Did you even watch any games last year? McBob's and MKG's wing defense literally made Al look like a competent defender last year. On top of that he was our point guard (forward), the offense ran through him. Sure swinging the ball sounds easy, but when you have Lance out there fumbling passes and Kemba going iso every possession, it's pretty easy to see why McBob was so important. Not to mention McBob is a better rebounder than Marvin (check the stats) and while he wasn't a great three point shooter, he was an efficient offensive player. Finally, he's making more total than Marvin but cap wise Marvin is making $2 mil more (which is the only thing that truly matters).

Oh and did I mention, even Clifford and Jordan said McBob is what made all the parts fit together.

That speaks for itself.

      Major Concerns with this team…with numbers

      By Stumpy · Posted

      The good news is that we are pretty uniquely well established to address all of our needs this season. We have $14m real cap space, and something like $40m in trade deadline cap space. Not sure exactly how that works out. But, we have the room to absorb any bad contracts. With recent rule changes regarding retention, that went into effect this season, we now have a huge advantage in the trade market.  On top of that, while we do have obvious needs, we also have a glut of talent in certain areas that we struggle to find ice time for. We are over-stocked on scrappy talented lil-guys, strong defensively sound 3rd liners and shutdown left shot dmen. Whether it's a package or separate deals, idk. But, one of each from Stank/Blake/Nads, Erob/Carrier/KK/Jank, and Walker/Nystrom; throw in some 1st round picks (and frankly any other prospects they want) and we should be able to come out with a 1b to pair with Bussi and either a 2c with size or a 2c and size.   TL/DR We got the money, you got the stuff?

      I don’t  think 6’4 was ever considered small or undersized. Baby hands tho, yes that was his thing That’s an interesting idea, like an optical illusion? Sounds like you have personal experience with this!

      in the 25' draft the Carolina Panthers had hired Brandt Tillis someone who actually understood how to build a successful team & build through the draft .  this team was yes mismanaged for years prior to Brandt Tillis joining the team in 25' & rarely done anything right in the draft outside occaionaly getting lucky on an UDFA such as Jalen Coker who's dad coincidentally happened to be a huge Carolina Panthers fan, hint hint  ...just saying
