Flip Murray would still return to Charlotte (If we come calling)

Free agent guard Flip Murray is receivng interest from the Cavaliers, Clippers, and Bulls.

Murray has also said that he'd be willing to re-sign with Charlotte. No matter where he lands, he should fill the same role -- bursts of scoring off the bench.

You know what, all these guys wanna come back and if they really want to then let them.

If Flip would rather play us than Chicago and Cleveland than re-sign him. Same with Larry.

You could move Flip back to the point guard position and let Larry play the two. Those two guys would be a hell of a scoring threat coming of the bench.

Hughes is a better PG than Flip, though both are SGs with decent ball handling skills.

There isn't room on the roster for both. Combine that with the fact that Hughes is the better defender and DJ's panties really get wadded up when Flip is around and you can see that Flip won't be with the Bobcats next year.

Hughes has never played point guard before, Flip has actually played that position before.

I think he played some PG in Philly when they would make AI the sg. He also played pg at GS. Not sure about other teams. He has played a lot at the point. Also no to both. If i had to choose it would be Larry though. You will take anyone back. Is there any old player that you wouldn't take back?

Edit: Looked him up and he is listed as a PG/SG.

I will take them back if they are better than a player at the same position on the team.

Im not sure who they are better than. You could make a case they might be better than Henderson and Livingston but I'd much rather give them some pt and see how they turn out. Neither of them are very good. It's time to try some new things out.

Nah. You know better than that.

Put it this way, earlier this summer after the Bobs were wiped out of the playoffs, a reporter asked LB about Flip coming back. LB sortof sidestepped the question and started raving about how well Hughes was playing. What does that tell you about what LB (and management) are likely to do?

A couple of weeks ago Flip Murray (who will be a free agent this summer) said he'd love to sign again with the Bobcats. I asked Larry Brown about that at his end-of-season press conference Friday. Brown's reaction showed he loved coaching Murray. But also that they have to figure out Gerald Henderson's role and Brown hasn't given up on Larry Hughes.

"I guess we have to see how Gerald does (in summer league and training camp), but I would never be opposed to having (Murray) on our team. He's tremendous for me because of his knowledge of the game and contributions he makes in giving me little ideas. I love it when players are engaged and aren't afraid to give their opinions in respectful ways.''

And then this unsolicited comment on Hughes:

"I think we saw Larry Hughes at about 50 percent of what he could be because he hadn't played in so long when we got him. He was way behind, but made tremendous progress.''

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      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.
