Umm Am I Missing Something?

Umm so Charlotte traded Gerald Wallace for #19, then trades Stephen Jackson to move up to #7? Does anyone else think this is absurd?

LOL, G-Force and Jax for Biyombo.

The only reason I am okay with it is because we can start rebuilding instead of being stuck in this cycle of mediocrity... Though I wish we would have gotten more in the end.

As Van Gundy said on draft night, it got us from being a mediocre team fighting over the 8 spot in the playoffs and having a mid 1st rd pick to becoming a "bad" team that will eventually get better.

As much as I loved Wallace and always will as a player - we are clearly in rebuiding mode and are building around PGs Augustin and Walker, SG Henderson, and PFs Thomas and Biyombo. A lot of cap is coming off in 2 years and we will have top 5 picks most likely the next 2 years and in time, this team will be a threat.

If we stuck with Wallace and Jackson, that wouldnt be the case.

Understand you points.

I just think that the one year wonder of Biyombo was a VERY risky pick. He has little to no offensive skills. Would not have made the pick if it were me....but that is why I am not working for the NBA.

Question, how many games are we winning without the trades?? I'll answer that for you, enough to barely miss the playoffs and/or make it and get bounced in the first round, only to end up with a pooty lottery pick, or be without one completely. Same poo every over and over. Its time to switch it up, move on.

Nope. With Jackson and Wallace we were bound for the 8th seed (at best) for a while. If that's what you wanted to see then that's fine. I understand people would rather see us be a playoff team than not. But really when you're an 8 seed you in the worst position. For one, you will be knocked out first round. And two, you get a middle of the road draft pick. So you are just stuck in that cycle.

We needed to rebuild. People always complained because we were mediocre but sometimes you have to take a step back to take two steps forward. That's what happens when you "blow it up."

    • These are the three deep throw attempts that Will Levis made in week 12. His first one is a beauty; Levis and Westbrook-Ikhine gets the safety to bite on a deep dig only to go over the top for the score. His second throw is another beauty: a crosser to Calvin Ridley reminiscent of Bryce to XL (though Ridley has noticeably more separation on his route). His third and final deep shot was an incompletion from his own endzone on 3rd & 14 with pressure coming down on him (to me, this seems like a solid throw).   Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-02.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Levis took half of the deep shots that Young did. The differences are: Ridley had much better separation than XL, which is why his deep crosser turned into a 63yd play since he was able to scamper for another 15+ after the catch. Westbrook-Ikhine holds on to his TD pass. Bryce had to throw one away to preserve time for a field goal. Bryce had two more throws that were incomplete due to the WR Are we really holding the three WR errors and clock management decision against Bryce in order to say that Will was better throwing deep in week 12? That's not passing the eye test nor is it confirmed by the data.
    • If you go on the PUP list before the season starts, you are gone for the year. If you start the year on the PUP list then you can get off of it. Kind of semantics, but we are putting him on the PUP list now which is before week 1, that’s why people who come off of it aren’t really on the PUP list until week 1, hence you usually hear right before the season that they are “starting the year” on the PUP list. I think PUP list and IR may basically be the serve the same purpose now because you also sometimes hear that if a player is added to the IR before week 1 that they aren’t eligible to come off the IR list for the entire year. Now, everyone added to IR (post week 1) can come off after 4 (or more) games so the PUP list is meaningless since it’s 6 games and starts at week 1. Anyone added to PUP or IR in the preseason is gone for the year.
