I don't like giving up Flip, though I realize that he isn't under contract for next season and is either going to get a pay raise or go somewhere else. The team must think Hendo is ready to play, though there would only be 2 PGs on the roster at that point.

I am afraid of how offensive the Bobs' offense would be if they gave up Flip.

NO DEAL!

You have a point with Flip and our offensive drop-off, but for a rare 6'9 defensive talent like Tyrus who would flourish under Larry just like Wallace did, is to hard not to look at.

What I'm trying to get at is Tyrus (if developed to his potential) can be our next Wallace v2, and Stephen Graham + Henderson are more than up to the task to covering for flips stats.

What this team lacks is a *Real* Power Forward with Center like abilities, we have a stable full of Shooting Guards and wings altogether.

See we don't have a 2010 first rd pick that's why it think this rumor isn't credible.

I don't know if I would do this deal either because of Flip. Flip is nothing special but who would we have backing up Jackson. Also, I want a PF that isn't so perimeter oriented like Thomas, we already have Diaw.

We had a PF with Center like abilities and traded him to NO in the offseason.

If we got TT, would he start over Boris? I don't think so, but I know there are a lot of people unhappy with Boris.

Emeka Okafor is a short center, plain and simple.

I could go on and on about this common misconception.

And Tyrus would definitely have the potential to easily start ahead of Boris, your guaranteed to get +/- with Tyrus, he get's alot of flack because he's not the typical 6-10 banger, but look at what he did in the playoffs against Kendrick and Pierce defensively he was everywhere and he definitely has post moves in his arsenal.

Imagine a true PF version of Gerald Wallace in TT, dudes ceiling is that high imo and Brown can make him a baller.

Hell look at what he did with pencil figure Tayshaun.

"The Charlotte Bobcats bid Acie Law(notes), Flip Murray(notes) and their 2010 first-round pick, a league executive said. The Bobcats have been searching for a long, athletic forward like [Tyrus] Thomas, the fourth pick in the 2007 draft, and are expected to be aggressive pursuers. Portland Trail Blazers general manager Kevin Pritchard made an offer they'll have to improve upon to be taken seriously - one of his expiring contracts (Steve Blake(notes) or Travis Outlaw(notes)) and two future second-round draft picks."

You're right ..we don't have a first rounder this year. It will go the the Timberwolves via Denver if it is not lottery protected. And I seriously hope we aren't in the lottery this season.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      I'm just tired of ppl saying he's so accurate and then have to see recievers slow down to recieve the ball, ruining any chance at YAC

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Icege · Posted

      Some people will really look at stuff like this and say "no more excuses" but then make excuses to try and explain away the validity of big-time throws. 🙃   Back on topic though, as I mentioned in the other AT thread earlier, I hope that the team is still exploring the deal. If the Vikings want the Panthers to take on some of the salary, then it had better be at worst a 4th-round pick (though I imagine Dan angling for a 3rd). If they're willing to take on all of it, then maybe at worst a 5th. Tough pill to swallow, giving up a 4th for a 35yr old WR, but if MIN believes they can have similar success behind McCarthy then it could be a smart deal for them. Hell, if AT has any gas in the tank and gives them a 1yr sweetheart deal to close out at home, even better for Minnesota. Yea, Bryce loses his best and most reliable WR. Hunter Renfrow though isn't what I would call a huge step down though (if he's as advertised throughout camp), and it gives more reps to TMac + XL + Coker. This season is all about continued development and answering some of the looming questions (Is Bryce the guy? Is Evero the DC going fwd? How do the young WRs develop? How long does it take this defense to bounce back from being historically awful?).
