Guy has under performed in almost every draft and seems to only be good at trades.

 

MKG over Barnes or Beal

Biyombo over Drummond

Kaminsky (who I think will be solid) over Justise Winslow

Noah Vonleh over EVERYBODY

Cody Zeller over  Nerlens Noel

 

Just saying you cannot look at this and NOT face palm over and over. I think it is time for him to go. They need to clean house everyone must go except Steve Clifford and his staff. What Clifford has done with what he has been given is amazing.

Meh, Steve Clifford can't even win a damn playoff game in this ugly ass Eastern Conference. Should have waited until after the season to begin considering any kind of extension for Clifford. Those wanting Cho gone might be pretty disappointed, if Clifford stays, Cho probably will also.

In reality, both should have been evaluated heavily this offseason. If one goes, the other should too.

i disagree with you guys on Cliff.. he has gotten the maximum out of our roster.. Clifford changed his entire defensive/offensive philosophy in 1 offseason and got us to the playoffs 2 outta 3 years.. both Jefferson and Marvin have had career years under Cliff.. I might even say this was Lin's most solid/productive year he has had too..

we just suck.. *sigh*.. i dun give a fug

I think Cho is a fine GM in every aspect expect for the draft. And if I'm being honest he seems to be abysmal at drafting(some of that is likely MJs fault). However it should be something that is fixable with better talent evaluators around him. But even given his terrible draft record he has done a very good job building this years team. He got batum for what appears to be norhing, same with courtney lee. Lin was a great addition in free agency and lamb has shown flashes. The team has tons of cap space moving forward to either resign people we have or go out and get someone else. We may not be a title contender but we aren't stuck being a perennial 8-9 seed or worse like years past. Just imagine we could be Brooklyn or the laughable mess that is Philadelphia. So before you run Cho out on a rail consider we are in the playoffs, we have an amazing home court advantage and our core is still young.

I will grant you the two playoff losses thus far have been bad but any real NBA fan know a series doesn't really start until the home team loses a game. If the Hornets win the next two (very likely given how great we've been at home this year) we will be right back in the series.

Again just look at previous drafts that he said his self that he was in control of and tell me that we did not screw up every draft since he was here. You know why the Panthers have been doing so well lately? They draft extremely well and that stops the need for massive amounts of trades and hopes for free agents. Building the talent homegrown is better than searching in panic mode. Cho needs to go or fans will start ignoring the franchise again.

Again I admit his draft record is bad but even given that we still have a playoff team who could have easily been the three seed. Now if we get blownout the next two games on the way to another playoff sweep then maybe he needs to go but if the team makes this a series then he should stay.

Well we can agree to disagree. With a better draft record this team is a two seed or even a team competing with Cleveland for the one seed. Imagine having Barnes, Drummond, and Noel. This team would be unstoppable and have defense and offense to match any team in the league. Instead we have MKG who stays hurt, Zeller who looks like bench depth, and Biyombo is gone.

Most people here and around the league thought us getting Lance was a huge steal. It turned out to be a terrible deal but Cho moved on from it quickly, he didn't let his pride stand in the way of making the right move for the team.

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      They traded away their 1st next year also to get James Pearce Jr. Really hope this blows up in the Falcons face. I don't care how it happens, I just want to win the division this year. Zero sympathy for other team's issues. And our pass rush looks like it needs all the help it can get.

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      I would have released him this season, tbh and worked with Christensen out there.

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      By Seltzer · Posted

      10/10. We're due for some good luck, and I think this team is much better than what we've had the last 2 seasons. Defensive injuries could derail us b/c our depth there is still questionable. Still worried about the pass rush getting pressure without blitzing. Pleasantly surprised by the secondary and run defense.  Dan Morgan has done a lot to resurrect this roster from the deplorable position Fitterer left it in by showing some scouting chops with hitting on these guys drafted in the later rounds or UDFAs. Lathan Ransom & Corey Thornton both look like they fit this scheme and the NFL isn't too big for them.  I'm as excited for the rookie trifecta of T-Mac, Scourton, and Princely as I can remember. On paper, this offense is the most talented since 2021, maybe 2017, and maybe 2015. None of that means this team will produce any better, but this team has offensive talent & depth like we have rarely had in team history. If you don't believe me, go Google it. We've had some awful offensive collections overall in many years, to varying degrees mitigated by superstar talents like Steve Smith, Christian Mccaffrey, or Cam Newton.  I honestly think the collective offensive talent in 2025 may be better, but Cam was so otherworldly in 2015 & 2017 that he covered any flaws. Seriously, though, Cam doesnt get enough love for 2017. I think that may have been his best season. In general, Cam doesn't get enough respect IMHO. Both in college and in the NFL, Cam took teams that without him would have had no chance and won. True definition of a guy who elevated his team. To be clear, I am in no way am I saying this team will be better than 2017 or 2015. My point is that the offensive talent is there on offense if Bryce can unlock it.  I've been a Bryce supporter, but there are no excuses not to perform with this group. This isn't the disaster we gave him in 2023 or a new scheme like in 2024 where I think he hadn't mentally removed from his rookie season to start. I dont know how you couldnt be excited about that. And we still compete in a division that isn't insurmountable. I got got in 2023 like most of us in buying into the team propaganda, but in general, I think I'm pretty realistic about the team. I knew in my heart we would be bad last year. I wasnt expecting the defense to be that bad or Bryce to start off that poorly, but I had no expectations whatsoever for making the playoffs. And I genuinely think we will be competitive all year this season. I think we win 8-9 games and compete for the division. I think the ceiling is 11 wins, and the floor is 7. The good news is after next week, we will all be proven right or proven wrong. Keep Pounding!
