Wow.  Ryan Anderson gets 20 mil a yr.  Mozgov 16 a yr.  Fuggin Anthony Tolliver 8 mil a yr.  Luol Deng 18 a yr.

We keep Marvin for 13.5.  I don't see how anyone can be disappointed in this deal at all.  Now go grab a defensive center and a backup PG and we are good to go.

Zeller for Monroe? He is being made available by the Bucks...

The Bucks would give Monroe away for a rock and still no one wants him.  I'm telling you moving Zeller for Monroe does not make us any better in the slightest.  Monroe is just a younger version of Al, good post game but slows down every thing on offense and he's fuging useless on defense.  I do not want any more players on this team that stop the ball on offense, we're done with that.  You guys are sleeping hard on Zeller.  Is he ever going to be an all-star?  No, but he played some damn good ball for us last year.  Zeller is an extremely underrated defender, Clifford loves him because he's an exceptional team defender.  Maybe the second best we have after MKG.  Per-36 (not a fan of this stat either but want to use it), Zeller averaged 13/9 last year while shooting +52%.  That's not bad at all.  He's also a good passer which makes him effective on offense, plus he can be a force catching the ball and going to the hoop because he's so athletic.  Zeller is not a bad player at all, the last half of last year was by far the best ball he's played for us and coincidentally that's the first time his primary position was C.  Also, that's when we started playing our best ball and got rolling.  Do not get the Cody hate, in my opinion he's earned the right to try to establish himself as our C going forwards.  Damn if he just had longer arms he would be a stud.  Cody deserves a chance at getting 30+ minutes per game next year.  Let's bring in Cole Aldrich to play those extra ~15 minutes and let's go to battle.

This Marvin deal is incredible.  4 years is a little ehhhhh, but the monetary value is superb. Honestly thought he might get up to 20m/year.  Hope he just keeps getting better for us, I think in our new offense he will.

    • I think his stats will depend on the development of the rookies and sophomore receivers, which isn't totally under is control. The eye test is a different story. Has to consistently look the part before you decide to pay him Purdy money. 
    • Interestingly I think we have kind of of gone through this as an organization. Richardson implemented an FO driven tank. Bad roster, no cash spent, coach uninterested. It may have been for different reasons but I think the results were the same. A team that wasn't going to win many if any games. We ended up with the #1 pick. Cam Newton came in and changed the franchise. It worked, but Cam himself pointed to the losing culture in the locker room needing to be changed. It probably took about 2-3 years for that to happen. Tank worked pretty damn well for us. Cam is one of one. Not another like him, everyone can't deliver on his draft status AND change a culture basically on his own.  So as an exercise here are the last 30 #1 picks. If you tanked and got to pick #1 how many of these guys do you think were worth it? Not just good players, but franchise changers. Guys who will take your culture and shift it so the tank was actually worth it. I would say maybe 9 or 10 guys would be worth a tank, pending the last 5 picks?    2025: Cam Ward (Miami (FL)) - Tennessee Titans 2024: Caleb Williams (USC) – Chicago Bears 2023: Bryce Young (Alabama) – Carolina Panthers 2022: Travon Walker (Georgia) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2021: Trevor Lawrence (Clemson) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2020: Joe Burrow (LSU) – Cincinnati Bengals 2019: Kyler Murray (Oklahoma) – Arizona Cardinals 2018: Baker Mayfield (Oklahoma) – Cleveland Browns 2017: Myles Garrett (Texas A&M) – Cleveland Browns 2016: Jared Goff (California) – Los Angeles Rams 2015: Jameis Winston (Florida State) – Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2014: Jadeveon Clowney (South Carolina) – Houston Texans 2013: Eric Fisher (Central Michigan) – Kansas City Chiefs 2012: Andrew Luck (Stanford) – Indianapolis Colts 2011: Cam Newton (Auburn) – Carolina Panthers 2010: Sam Bradford (Oklahoma) – St. Louis Rams 2009: Matthew Stafford (Georgia) – Detroit Lions 2008: Jake Long (Michigan) – Miami Dolphins 2007: JaMarcus Russell (LSU) – Oakland Raiders 2006: Mario Williams (North Carolina State) – Houston Texans 2005: Alex Smith (Utah) – San Francisco 49ers 2004: Eli Manning (Mississippi) – San Diego Chargers 2003: Carson Palmer (USC) – Cincinnati Bengals 2002: David Carr (Fresno State) – Houston Texans 2001: Michael Vick (Virginia Tech) – Atlanta Falcons 2000: Courtney Brown (Penn State) – Cleveland Browns 1999: Tim Couch (Kentucky) – Cleveland Browns 1998: Peyton Manning (Tennessee) – Indianapolis Colts 1997: Orlando Pace (Ohio State) – St. Louis Rams 1996: Keyshawn Johnson (USC) – New York Jets 1995: Ki-Jana Carter (Penn State) – Cincinnati Bengals
