If Felton wants more than 3.5 mil next year, let his sorry ass stroll.

I enjoyed his clutch-ness this season and he's the perfect teammate, but he's just to mediocre a PG to lead this team. There were too many instances tonight were Felton just gave the ball to Jack or Diaw due to his inability to set up a play.

While you can attest to Jackson and Diaw turning the ball over so many times, plenty of those instance were solely because of Felton's ineptitude as a play initiator, and his most redeeming quality was his ability to play top tier defense against almost anybody, although over the last 2 games he's been getting whipped by Jameer and it's in his head and it's obviously showing, hell he doesn't even break off of the screen to cover him anymore thus leading to Jameer getting a clear and easy drive to the lane not helping our Centers or Wings,but mixing in his defensive prowess with his offensive ineptitude just does not mix.

I like the guy and wouldn't mind him staying for the low, but he either has to step up or step off.

And D.J did in fact out play Felton tonight, hell he even outplayed Felt's defensively..

Which is just sad.

I'm sorry, but Felton is Above Average at best and it pains this offense.

This is not a knee-jerk reaction, overreaction, or Chicken little shtick I've recognized this for a while, but chose to ignore it due to our teams success and Felton's game winning shots, and what have you.

But the truth hurts.

he would be a good backup point guard, not starter material.

Unfortunately this.

It's a shame because so much is invested in him right now, but there are always other PG's for cheap that can do what Felton could not.

I had such high hopes for Ray Ray when they played that little interview snippet about what LB told him, but it seems that didn't get Ray going. If Ray comes out slacking at home, bench his ass and put D.J. in for the rest of the game. Nuff said.

What other PG is going to be available that you would like to replace felton with?? Or are you suggesting DJ be the starter?

Blake, JJ Barea, Luke Ridnour.

All the while D.J getting majority minutes. I especially like Blake.

Tough to say but DJ is better for this team. Unless Raymond really turns it around I see him in another teams uniform next year.

Side note: Imagine if the Bobcats had been two spots higher in two separate drafts:

We take Dwight Howard over Okafor

We take Chris Paul over Raymond

Then if we werent idiots we draft Brandon Roy over Morrison

Our starting lineup would look something like:

PG: Paul

SG: Roy

SF: Wallace

PF: Who the *** Cares

C: Howard

We would go from pretender to yearly contender

please stop!!! while felton is in my mind above average, he has proven that he is this teams best defender(point guard)over the course of the last two seasons and has hit clutch shots for us. what felton needs to do is become more agressive at the offensive end of the floor but i also agree that if he wants mega dollars in fa then let him walk and try to find someone else

Felton is an above average point guard, you can argue with me all you want but you can not argue with his stats.

This is all based on stats so don't start giving me sh*t this is the stats talking.

Felton's Ranks among Point Guards

Points- 18th

Rebounds- 9th

Field Goal %- 14th

Free Throw %- 25th

Three Point %- 18th

Assits- 16th

Steals- 5th

Blocks- 8th

Turnovers- 19th

Double-Double's- 16th

If you average these numbers out he is a top 15 Point Guard which is pretty damn good, so hop off his nuts.

So we're gonna hang these last two playoff games around Felton's neck? LOL

Felton got abused by Nelson in the first half of game 1, I'll give you that... but we can't blame this whole debacle on him. How bout all the turnovers committed by Jackson and Diaw?

These last two losses have been a team effort. Felton has contributed, but let's not treat him like the town witch... there's plenty of blame to go around.

Your stats don't include a category for boneheaded plays....

      2025 Schedule Release - post 'em when you find 'em

      So dumb I get it, they want to expand the reach of the NFL, but it's not the right sport to be playing games halfway around the world for a variety of reasons.   But one of the main ones is what happens if a player has an injury in that game? A lot of times, you're not supposed to fly right after some injuries, so when they happen here it's not a big deal, the player stays in that town for a few days and then flys home separately.  But that opens a whole bag of worms if the game is played all the way out in Australia. Plus just needing that long of a flight to get out there and back, even if they get a bye week after, it means a ton of travel and needing to adjust to a new time zone directly after another game.

      I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.
