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.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      You didn’t really address the point, just like you ignored the point about the RBs initially, and saying “they are all lotto picks” is just a really silly reduction because you could say that about literally any player rookie or vet every snap, every game, every year. It is well known that different positions have different hit rates, and I would argue different types of prospects within position groups as well, and that hit rates change the further down in the draft you go. Everybody knows QB is different and that, for example, first round OL have a really high success rate. Using your lotto ticket analogy…again…you are saying a lotto ticket with a 1 in 100 chance of hitting is the exact same thing as a lotto ticket with a 1 in 2 chance of hitting (this is an example, don’t take these odds literally). The point was he is no more of a lotto ticket than the 31yr old receiver coming off a major knee injury, and in my opinion he is better odds with a higher potential “jackpot”. Saying one player is an “lotto ticket” while another isn’t is just not sound logic. You have no idea who will break out, regress, get injured, etc. There are safer bets than others, that’s all. I don’t think Diggs is a safe bet and even if he was, weighing him over all of the Panthers WRs plus 2 1k rushers is just dumb. You can disagree if you want. The list is stupid.

      Yeah, this is all projections of how it will turn out. Inevitability this list will look ridiculous in a full 2025 sesson hindsight, most likely. Still, I am pretty surprised that so many bristled at being thought of as having very, very lowly ranked WR and TE units. We literally have been for years. All you have to do is just have things stay the same and those are immediately bottom 5 units. It is easy to see why one would be reticent to have lofty expectations in the preseason. Gotta show it first when you are a perennial cellar dweller. That's just life at the bottom.

      That's my biggest concern with making him the 2C.  You split up the Aho Jarvis bromance that accounted for a lot of points.  If Jarvis excels as a C, it could help the team even more though.
