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 TD alt · Posted

      Now now now, I wouldn't say there is no logic, but there's just not a lot of in-depth thought put into Barnwell's  "analysis." Now to be fair to him (and other national writers), pre-season team rankings are basically clickbait. And...Barnwell, himself, said that "there's a lot of projection here." He basically admits that he doesn't know how the hell things are going to turn out with our receiver group. He also said that "I find myself" more intrigued by Coker than Legette; that does not mean that he said that fans should be, or that Coker will even be better than Legette (regardless of ESPN's per-route-run stat). So, yeah, Barnwell said some things, but even he has to basically admit that he doesn't know how bad or good that our playmakers will be in 2025.  Overall, what Barnwell is basically thinking is that the Panthers have gotten worse at the offensive skill positions, and baked into that is that others have gotten better. That's the argument in July (meaning, please don't give this any more weight than it's due). I would personally be surprised (not shocked) if we end up worse than the Titans, Pats and Giants at least. Once you throw in the Bills, Giants, Jets, Steelers, and even the Chargers, I personally think there are several teams' skill groups that may end up ranked lower than ours by the end of 2025.  @kungfoodudeis one of my dudes, but like others he is over the tipping point. He's had enough. Seeing is believing. I will say this though: Barnwell's piece is less about logic than just good ol' opinion. And to be honest, he might as well be a Huddler throwing out sh¡t in the summer based upon nothing but good feels or bad feels.  Our offense as a whole (just like any other team's) is going to depend upon the play of the O-line and especially the QB. How you can even rank the skill positions without expressly baking those two things in the cake is beyond me. I would dare say that that's not even logical.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By CRA · Posted

      Bryce Young had a super high floor definitely at least won't be a bust safe pick we allegedly had seen in some time.......and went on to have one of the worst rookie seasons of all time.  They are all lotto picks.  And that is especially true for whatever they will be day 1 in the NFL.  I don't think Tmac is a sure thing year 1.  It's not like we watched him do his thing in the SEC.  He was a PAC12 guy.  I'm sure it will take time
