In October, What if i told you...

...that Stephenson would be a DNP by seasons end?

...that Al Jefferson would be the most frustrating player on the team?

...that MKG would be the team's most valuable player?

...that Clifford would be coaching his way out of town?

...that we as fans, would be begging for tanking?

...that Zeller getting injured would be a major blow to the team?

So sad how far our expectations have fallen. One more question though, could Popovich do much better with the talent on this roster or is the talent enough to get a mid-low seed in the East with a good coach?

The MKG and Zeller comments wouldn't have made me think twice, the others would have though.

Agreed,and I'm slightly surprised in Clifford sitting the bed.

Honestly,i think another coach could get more out of the roster with rotations/minutes. Any coach that completely rules someone out for anything other than talent/ability to contribute is going to lose games they shouldn't.

Good news is that Vonleh and PJ will see playing time next season. So yay for that. Lol

Now if only we could get rid or Henderson and Jefferson. Maybe trade Kemba somewhere as well and start over with MKG, Vonleh, Zeller, PJ and Biz as the youth pieces on the team and go from there.

MKG has been the most valuable player on this team since the day he was drafted. He's the most important player Charlotte's had since LJ/Zo. Anyone who thought otherwise hasn't been paying attention.

This season was a failure, but I'm not sure it's as bad as people are making it out to be. The team has been killed by injuries since day 1. I don't think Charlotte has played a single game at full strength. Had the team started the season healthy & avoided so many injuries they probably win 45-50 games and knock off Toronto in the 3/6 1st Rd matchup. It's a roster of misfits but the talent is there.

I'd like to see going into next season...

Kemba, PJ, MKG, Zeller, Big Al starting.

Mo, Stephenson, Marv, Vonleh, Biz off bench

See if we can trade Henderson, maybe even Lance and Marvin. We should get a top 10 pick as well.

I'm not giving up on Kemba and Al yet.

...that Stephenson would be a DNP by seasons end? Far below expectations would not be a surprise..but no one called this

...that Al Jefferson would be the most frustrating player on the team? Certainly wouldn't have surprised me..we know what we paid for.

...that MKG would be the team's most valuable player? Once again no surprise..the only people that it may surprise are the ones that only care about PPG. But anyone who hustles like he does can make any NBA team envious

...that Clifford would be coaching his way out of town? I think in October we really did all think that we had a mastermind coach in Cliff

...that we as fans, would be begging for tanking? Man..I really thought that even with the holes this was a 45 win team

...that Zeller getting injured would be a major blow to the team? I think just the lack of upgrades at PF makes this more sad than anything else. When Marvin Williams got paid 14 mil over 2 and I was told this right after that I really wouldn't have been all that surprised

So sad how far our expectations have fallen. One more question though, could Popovich do much better with the talent on this roster or is the talent enough to get a mid-low seed in the East with a good coach? I think a lot of players on this squad actually could compliment Pop's motion offense system. Especially guys like Kemba (who has some Tony Parker-like qualities), Mo Williams, MKG, and even Marvin. I think Pop's offense could get a lot more out of Marvin. Hell, look at what Pop did with Boris Diaw. The guy played 30 minutes a night for him and had a renaissance.

Same guys we have now. Shuffling deck chairs on the titanic.

I got sooooo many predictions wrong, I cannt list them all.

Before season this is a solid 5/6 seed team.

Lance was the best value signing in the whole FA, a steal. Roberts was another great value signing.......

Clifford was a good coach, should finish in top five for COY.

Etc etc.

Enough of my fails, what about zeller over noel...... outside of 2-3 weeks walker was petty bad. He played top 5 PG during that time, then got injuried. Williams is currently playing hard at least, but 7 mill per is a waste this and next season. Al is awfuuulllll on D. I know he's playing hurt and all, but even a scrub scores at will on him.

Just sooooo much fail. The one play that defines this season, PJs epic fail flop.

You weren't alone in your misguided expectations. I thought Lance would be a top 10 SG in the league. :(

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
