I hope he can mentor our young guards, but I worry he is just going to take minutes away from them. 

Outside of Kemba there is not another primary ball handler on the roster for him to take minutes away from.

If Borrego plays Monk at the one like Clifford does then he doesn't deserve to be a head coach.

Mitch was able to trade Dwight and cleared up money to sign Parker. That's a W.

Parker won't be 2015-2016 Jeremy Lin, but he's a stable backup to Kemba and should be a great mentor to Devontae Graham. Two years isn't a long commitment. He'd roll off the same time as MKG, Marvin & Mozgov.

Exactly.

I think when we didn't trade Kemba that should have been a sign that we weren't tanking. Now, with the addition of Parker we can say we definitely aren't tanking. 

I like this move. We just need Parker for 12-15 minutes a game. We haven't had a competent backup PG since Lin so this is actually a really good signing. At the same time, he gets to mentor Graham, Kemba, Monk on a system he knows a lot about.

Is he the Parker of old? No of course not. But can he give us 15 min so our team doesn't go to hell when Kemba rests? Absolutely! Good signing since we aren't tanking. 

Now, the only thing left is trying to move one of MKG, Marvin, Frank, Cody, Mosgov and try and get a high potential stretch PF who can actually shoot.

      The Bryce Trade is Finally Complete. Who Won the Trade? Panthers vs Bears

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      We won't know the answer to this for a long time. Reality is, Caleb has been the consensus #1 in that draft for years. Bryce was a similar situation, but mostly the same. He was not the clear and obvious #1 that Caleb was, but most teams had Bryce at QB1. The Panthers were always going to be terrible Bryce's rookie year.  I don't think DJ Moore's presence would have changed anything about that offense, as our guards, center, and left tackle were getting demolished on nearly every snap. It's clear Caleb's dad was trying to do everything possible to ensure Caleb didn't end up in Chicago with Eberflus. It's hard to imagine that he wouldn't have done the same, but probably more publicly with our situation, considering Carolina is an easier target for the media than Chicago. We can all speculate, but it's impossible to tell who is going to have the better career on May 16, 2025. If either QB doesn't pan out, we have an easy answer. If both flame out, the bears clearly won the trade, but it wouldn't have really mattered anyway. We all know how we win the trade. Candidly, even if one of the other picks we gave up ends up being a hall of fame player, we don't know if the panthers would have taken that player anyway. All you can do is make the best decision you can in the moment with the information you have. I really like Bryce Young, and I'm glad he's a Carolina Panther.  The only way to win in the modern NFL is to have an absolute dude at QB. I personally am happy that our franchise recognizes this, as I remember times when they did not.
