Biz is a free agent


Recommended Posts

If this happens I will be so pissed. Biz seemed like a good hardworking guy so I wish him the best I just don't want see him go be worth that top 10 pick somewhere else while we are stuck with Al's lazy ball hogging ass.

His per 36 this year was 9 pt, 12 reb, 3 blk. The past 2 seasons advanced statistics have rated him the #1 rim protector in the entire NBA. And he's still only 22 years old & has only been playing ball for 5 years. The "he can't play offense" cries are dumb. He's an elite defensive player & rebounder. 99% of Hornets fans I've heard talk about Biz have bashed him. Gonna be funny when he lands in a team that let's him fuging play & he suddenly becomes an NBA Defensive Team player & all these same CLT fans are crying & blaming the FO for letting him go.

Clipper fans want the team to sign him. Watch Bis go to LA and flourish.

Sounds like the Clippers may not have enough money to sign a decent Center without doing some finagling.  Maybe we could work out a sign and trade were we re-sign Biz and trade him to the Clippers for Jamal Crawford.

We couldn't afford to give him that deal? Seriously if that is all he is getting paid he should still be on this team. I swear our front office sucks.

We can't give him that deal bc we are too tied up in giving Marvin $7 million a year to average 7 points per game. This team makes the Oakland Raiders look smart.

Yea we are, and unsuprisingly I might add, still ran by one of the least intelligent front offices in the game. But at the same time, a lot of other teams should be ashamed of themselves for not offering Biz that. The Pacers, Knicks, Lakers, Clippers, Mavericks, Kings (who gave Koufos 33 million), and Memphis are all teams who should've offered more. Biz will do well in Toronto.

After much time reflecting, I am pissed at the Hornets FO for not resigning Biz. Biz with Frank would have been amazing. Frank's average defense with Al's subpar does not make sense. Biz is not a primary ball handler/scorer but someone who cleans the boards and who has above average defensive abilities. How about we trade Al to Toronto for Biz so we can free up cap space? If we are forming a more versatile and athletic roster then Al should be moved now.

I loved BIZ but the problem was never defense we needed scoring punch and we getting ready for next year with all the cap we are going to have no telling what might might happen.

    • Sometimes you get very valuable information from fantasy football sites. I found an analysis that you may want to read from The Fantasy Footballers. Perhaps you'll gain an insight as to why we moved up and got him. As always, here are a few snippets: "As expected, he dominated in the 2023 season. He averaged an impressive 2.03 Scrimmage Yards per Team Play, which ranks in the 86th percentile among all junior seasons since 2013." "Naturally, after initially playing behind two NFL-caliber running backs, Brooks’ career numbers do not jump off the page. However, his 2023 campaign gave us a glimpse of just how massive his upside could be at the next level. In fact, Brooks is one of only TWO running backs in this class to exceed 2.00 Scrimmage Yards per Team Play within their first three seasons in college."  "If you watch Jonathon Brooks’ film, you will find multiple plays in which he created yardage with his quick feet and lateral agility. He is elusive in open spaces and has an impressive ability to stack multiple cuts to avoid contact. Combined with his impressive burst and acceleration, Brooks can be a matchup nightmare in the second and third levels of the defense." "While Brooks is not the most physical running back, he does have a knack for absorbing contact and bouncing off defenders. You see this time and time again in his film." "He showcased a willingness to initiate contact with the pass rusher, the strength to maintain blocks, and the quickness to adjust to the defender’s moves. In addition, per PFF, Brooks was a top-three running back in the 2024 class in pass-blocking grade last season. He was also one of only two running backs in the class to average a 0% pass block pressure rate, highlighting just how effective he was as a blocker." "In short, Brooks has tremendous upside as a prospect. Even with his ACL injury, I would still be comfortable drafting him in the early second round of rookie drafts. In fact, I would not be shocked if he finished his career as the most productive running back in this class. However, we just need to temper our expectations for his rookie year as he slowly ramps up to full health." Marvin Elequin provides more here (including video clips): https://www.thefantasyfootballers.com/dynasty/2024-rookie-profile-rb-jonathon-brooks-fantasy-football/   Basically, Brooks has the potential to be a beast, and was well worth the 46th pick (and most mocks had him going mid second round anyway). He's not JAG. Someone had to make the move and take him, and we were the ones to do it. He's elusive, has good speed and acceleration, exceptional contact balance, and is an outstanding blocker. Just like any nice RB transitioning to the league, he will need to get used to taking what the defense gives him, while also showing discriminating patience, but he has demonstrated some ability on that front in college. Brooks' only real knock is the ACL. But ACLs aren't career ending anymore, or even skill ending as evidenced by Dalvin Cook, Todd Gurley and others. We'll just need to temper our expectations during his rookie campaign while he gets back to form. Once he does, we'll finally have the talented three-down back that has eluded us since Stew retired.
    • 2.43 : Jackson Powers-Johnson, C, Oregon 2.52 : Adonai Mitchell, WR, Texas 3.65 : Junior Colson, LB, Michigan 3.79 : Blake Corum, RB, Michigan 4.101 : Ja'Tavion Sanders, TE, Texas 😎 5.141 : Sedrick Van Pran-Granger, C, Georgia 5.142 : Austin Booker, Edge, Kansas 5.155 : Christian Jones, OT, Texas Note, I traded down from 33 (took the Arizona/Atlanta trade up to 35 - might have actually been able to net an even better deal but whatever, I'll go with this). Took the Rams trade but stayed put at 52 and at the top of the 3rd.
    • I mean, first of all, I'm not the one who initially said he was a life long fan, it was in that tweet in the OP. But more importantly, "life long fan" is a relative term, especially for a franchise like the Panthers.  I think anyone who was say, 10-12 or younger when the franchise started, and been a fan since the start, could claim to be a life long fan. I'm 38, been a fan of the team since year 1 even though I'm not even from the Carolinas, after almost 30 years of fandom and following them since the beginning, I have no issue saying I'm a life long Panthers fan. Very possible his dad is say around 40 years old and been a Panthers fan since the start.  And even if he's a little older, if you're a fan of a team for 30 out of your say 45ish years of life... that's "life long" in that instance.
