Who would take Lance off our hands- and for what?

There are only a handful of teams at this point that would be stupid or desperate enough to take Lance off our hands.

One of them sticks out like a sore thumb because they have a disgruntled player that wants to get out-

 

And NO I'm not talking about Kanter in Utah. I'm talking about Jason Thompson in Sacramento. He has been on the block ever since he signed in Sac-town and has wanted out for a long time. Rumor is he is demanding a trade.

 

He is under contract for the same amount if time as Lance- 3 years (no team option though). He would definitely give us more size and scoring ability down low. I know we need more 3pt shooting, but with Mo Williams/PJ/Kemba coming back/Marvin seeming to knock it down more consistent lately and Taylor gathering a few minutes here and there- our 3pt shooting might be well off. Not to mention the absence of Lance would have to improve our FG% as a whole.

 

I think there are a lot of better players I would rather scoop up, but in reality- not a lot is out there in the market for Lance even if we tie a 1st round draft pick to him (btw, Cho will never do that). So this might be a best case scenario unless we can team up in a 3 team trade of some sorts. Time will tell.

I don't think there are any good options out there currently. Personally I'd take back pretty much anything as long as it wasn't a deal past next year, and giving up no assets. Our best bet is probably to just let him rot on the bench for the rest of this season, and then buy him out at the start of next year.

      I encourage you to go back and watch his college play. Notice how he immediately backpedals to 10 yards behind the LOS on almost every snap. You can't do that in the NFL. Your OTs have no chance of keeping those freak show edge rushers off of you. You can't create a pocket that deep. Bryce can chuck it when he has an airport runway in front of him to step up into. There's a reason why "ease of creating velocity" is such a talking point evaluating QBs. It's not how hard or how far you can throw the ball given a perfect situation. It's how hard and how far you can throw the ball in a typical NFL game situation and that's where a lot of my concerns with Bryce were going into the draft. There were way too many plays in his college tape that if you were watching that purely in terms of translating it to the NFL it just didn't work.

      Yeah, like I said I get it. From a revenue perspective I'm not a good customer for them. They've probably intentionally tanked offline franchise mode to try to get people online. Again, not a terrible strategy from a pure business perspective. I can't really be mad at them for doing what's good for business but yeah, from my perspective it still sucks.

      Ok let me be more specific. Smith was a stud before Newton got here do you not agree? Yes, LaFell improved under Cam but then had his best years after leaving the Panthers with Cam as the QB and going to NE. So he improved playing with someone else. Olsen was in Chicage the year before Cam arrived and statistically had the same numbers his first year with Cam.  Hope that's clearer for you.
