So if we are 5 mill under, can that be combined with trading DJ or Boris to get a decent player? Are there any decent trade possibilites left or was Dampier our only hope. I mean Larry has been a trading machine. I cannot see us entering season standing pat with what we have.

MJ fuged up when trying to get what he thought was the last piece for a CP3 deal.

The Bobcats have definitely taken a step backwards from last season.

This is exactly why MJ has long been considered a failure off the court. He fuged up in Washington...and he just fuged up again.

I think we're actually really only 2.2mill under the cap now but can still do some things. MJ's Dampier trade failed bad, he took a risk and it didn't work out. We were probably, I hate to say it, better off keeping Chandler for another year.

Don't expect the playoffs next year guys.

Everybody ever associated with NBA basketball in DC has fudged up. That team has a history of sucking. To attack Jordan for failing is pretty unfair. I doubt even Jerry West would save that franchise. A have to be one of the worst run franchises in the history of sports. Sheesh

His decisions there (particularly in the draft) were GOD AWFUL....

MJ is known though, for completely turning around washington's financial side, paving the way for the arenas, haywood, jamison teams that were in the playoffs a few years. Sure he effed up some picks...but he did put the next guy after him in washington in wonderful shape.

      Thoughts on using AI for drafting?

      By NCBlu · Posted

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.

      Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
