What are we missing

Were good at the 5.

A banger 4, or an excellent spot up shotter with Defense like a Tyrus Thomas.

I wouldn't say we are "good" at the 5. Definitely the 4 spot is getting the least production, but I don't know how much longer Nazr can be expected to contribute like he has and Diop and Chandler both lack any type of NBA offensive skill set.

Regardless, looking at the contracts at the 5 spot, the 3 guys that we have now are going to be the only 3 guys we have for a while.

We have two glaring holes right now and neither are at 4, in my opinion.

We need a legit, dyed in the wool, 43% or better shooting guard who can score and create his own offense. Brandon Roy, Joe Johnson, or even a Ben Gordon type scorer.

The next and hardest to fill need we have is that premier 5. He doesn't even have to be spectacular, but even finding above average guys are horrible. This 5 by committee we have just makes us too one dimensional. Brook Lopez would have been a fabulous fit here.

Brook Lopez

please don't mention his name..... the pain... the pain..............

but i sort of agree- Captain Jack is playing out of position at the 2- he really is a 3 but Crash aint going anywhere..

so 1 Felton, 2 Jack and 3 Wallace are basically locked in for This season.. 4 and 5 are the positions we could do sumthing about before the deadline..

i personnally would like Samuel Dalembert from the 6ers.. package Diop/Chandler and Flip/Graham for Dalembert and we might be extremely solid..

So you want to trade a center with no offensive skill set and a shitty contract plus a guard for another center with no offensive skill set and a shitty contract.

BRILLIANT!

Why aren't you an NBA GM?

Jamison is on the trading block. Wouldn't mind picking him up for the 4 spot. Athletic power forward has been what we have always needed.

Jamison is still a very good offensive player and a more than adequate rebounder. He isn't the best defender but LB could probably improve that quite a bit.

The Bobs put themselves in the sticky situation where all player acquisitions involving a Tarheel will be held to the highest level of scrutiny. I think Jamison would pass that level of scrutiny.

    • In your opinion. What do you think Moton's true value in contract, dollars and guarantees? If we had not extended him, what is your plan for RT in 27 and 28? How important are good offensive linemen for our current offense? How much value do you put on protecting Bryce at this stage of his career? How difficult in general do you think finding above average tackles in the NFL is?
    • The Falcons have 2 significant offensive line injuries to start the 2025 season. Right tackle Kaleb Mcgary (who is the blindside protector for Penix since he is left-handed) is going to miss significant time, and it's looking more like it may be all season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-expect-kaleb-mcgary-to-miss-significant-time https://x.com/BKsquared7/status/1959285822236107013. Also, the top backup and swing tackle, Storm Norton (cool name BTW) is having ankle surgery and may miss half the season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-ot-storm-norton-out-6-8-weeks-after-ankle-surgery I don't root for injuries, but its also hard to be too sympathetic given how badly injuries have hit us in recent years. We definitely need to get that W in week 3 for our home opener at BOA. Despite our collective frustration at not being able to attend TC and then having boring preseason games, ultimately the most important objective of the preseason is to enter Week1 healthy, and we have at least done that. Hopefully the depth we think we have at Oline either shines through or isn't needed. Many other teams are in a bad spot with their offensive lines before the season even starts. For once, we aren't in that situation.
    • That roster was billed as a super smart and strong unit for a young QB….until he sucked though.   it didn’t have superstars but it had proven vets that checked well all the safe boxes and it was universally agreed the Panthers were putting him into position to succeed. BY just doesn’t fit a traditional O because he isn’t built like a traditional QB.  And he still doesn’t.   CJ Stroud would have had more success here than Bryce with that cast.   CJ just has the tools that fit the NFL more easily.  Young can find success but I have always argued it would take a Bryce centric plan (which we have never attempted IMO)
