I don't care what we get for Marvin. But I think he needs to go. He has a player option in 2019 worth 15 mil. If we don't trade him this season, he will be hard to trade next season with that whopper of a PO looming. We may be able to get something for him this season, but next season we may be paying someone to take him. He and Frank are the same player, and one of them will need to go. I'd rather it be Marvin.

Yes but can he play PF? 

I do think we should find a way to move Marvin. I hate that contract for a backup

Melo plays the 4 often I think but I'd probably put him at SF and Batum at SG, let Monk come off bench.    Frank or Zeller (Frank please) would be the 4.

Rudy Gay, anyone?

I keep coming back around to him.. since his injury - i have cooled on the idea.. but that would be another temping choice.. I don't think he would cost much because of that injury = low risk/high reward

Melo isn't going to want to play in Charlotte. He would consider himself the alpha dog and be a ball hog, taking shots away from Kemba and Monk and maybe more importantly from a team chemistry standpoint Dwight. 

Dwight is our former superstar, we don't need more than one ego in that room. 

If we're going to trade MKG/Marvin I would target a young player with potential that isn't working out on their current squad a la Deangelo Russell. Now I'm not saying the Lakers would have done Russell for those two but a similar situation.

If you want to get rid of Marvin here's a deal that kind of makes sense for both squads:

http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=y8r3kpqz

It's Marvin for Brandon Knight straight up. We free up minutes for Frank and MKG can play some PF in a death lineup with Batum at SF, Monk at SG. 

We get our backup PG. Money is extremely similar for both players. Suns get a veteran for a youngish locker room that fills a need for stretch 4 for them.

I'd love it if Cho can figure out how to get Jeremy Lin back from Brooklyn. 

Accept Session's team option and package him and Jeremy Lamb for Lin. If they get greedy give them a future 2nd. Lin was an amazing compliment to Kemba and now that Russell is in Brooklyn, Lin's starting job isn't guaranteed. You can replace Lamb with a wing in free agency using the MLE.

I think some one here underestimate what Marvin brings to this squad.. He does have a bad contract - but it isn't garbage.. He plays solid D on a nightly basis, great on "Help D" too.. his 3pt shot took a dip from his career year he had 2 seasons ago, but that was to be expected.. He is our gritty hustle guy that can be effective at the 3pt line.. the problem is we have MKG in the starting lineup too.. no way you can have 2 hustle/glue guys in your starting lineup..

would rather trade MKG than Marvin.. MKG's trade value might be larger than Marv's too..

All this to say - Marv for Rubio?!?! -- no no no
We need a backup PG, but not a good trade to give up a solid "3 and D" player for a bench PG that plays absolutely no defense whatsoever.. Livingston, MCW, Knight, Rondo.. someone with size (compliments Kemba) that can defend their position 1 on 1..

I would rather not have to pay 33 year old Marvin Williams 15 million dollars in the season when we need to re-sign Kemba Walker, ESPECIALLY when we have Frank. MKG CAN get better, Marvin is only going to decline. Trade Marvin while we can.

Yes, Rondo please etc.

I think Marvin will be better this year, I mean, everyone should be with Howard.  He's going to be a target in the post and it should open up more outside shooting for Marvin and whatnot.    I mean, we just didn't have any scary post presence last year or..... ever.

      Most hated teams

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      After Bountygate and the information that came out on the Saints owners shielding pedophile priests in New Orleans it will forever be the Saints numero uno for me. FUG THE SAINTS! I hope this is just the beginning of a long term period of suffering for that shitty organization run by even shittier human beings. #2.Pats/Belicheat #3. Falcons (Mike Vick years then Matt Ryan/Julio running it up) Ryan pooping his pants and 28-3 def makes my bad days always better just thinking of those. #4 Pretty much any franchise fan base thats obnoxious Steelers, Eagles, Bills, Jets, Giants, Cowboys, etc.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      Thank God DM used that #8 pick on a bona fide WR1 and not some bum pass rushing prospect like Stewart or someone else. I believe Tet is legit WR1 material and going forward will be our long term answer at that position since we desperately were in need of one once they traded away DJ Moore.  Tet could possibly end up even being better long term than someone who I respect a ton as a WR in Moore. Evans has been a pleasant surprise and great TE/FB depth piece going forward who could make the most of his opportunities.  Any good offense worth a damn in the NFL has 3 TEs that can do multiple things and being scared by Ian Thomas play for years should makes us all appreciate what Evans is quietly doing as a ROOKIE at one of the hardest positions to learn at the pro level.  Keep cooking DM. This season is not over obviously but seeing some growth out of young talent finally is a breathe of fresh fuggin air for once.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
