This guy can't score to save his life, but he's a great defender and rebound-er, which fits Larry Brown's motto. My only concern going into this year is a lack of scoring. We couldn't get hot in the playoffs and I just think we need some people who can knock down shots.

With limited available moves and cap room, there's not a whole lot the team can do to add a scoring threat.

Has anyone thought maybe he is not here to stay? I was thinking he may be packaged and shipped to Indiana for T.J. Ford, or to Toronto for Jose Calderon, or to Los Angeles for Baron Davis or maybe even to Washington for Gilbert Arenas.

Chad Ford: Teams w/ $$$ are going to play the trade market: Al Jefferson, Tyson Chandler, Emeka Okafor, Rip Hamilton, T.J. Ford, Turkoglu anyone? :Twitter

Chad Ford: Other players under contract for sale to teams with $$$: Gilbert Arenas, Baron Davis, Jose Calderon, Elton Brand, Marcin Gortat :Twitter

Maybe....

Nazr Mohammed and Dominic McGuire for T.J. Ford

or...

Boris Diaw for Jose Calderon

or...

Tyson Chandler and Dominic McGuire for Baron Davis

or...

Tyson Chandler and Boris Diaw for Gilbert Arenas

With the re-signing of TNT and the signing of Dominic McGuire we have a lot more options to explore. His contract is trade friendly and maybe he won't be in Charlotte for long.

It'll be awesome until Baron starts his whining, or getting his usual injuries, like he has on most teams he's played for. The Cats should stay away from Baron.

I will admit, Baron brought some good times when he was here the 1st time. I go back and look at his highlights from the earlier part of the decade. He had some good years in Charlotte.

    • I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years. 
    • I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
