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."

      His play style isn’t what’s needed and he’s slow to get off the time. Watching some of these all 22 clips and there’s once again a massive lack of speed on the field. 3rd year in a row I’ve said from day 1 Bryce needs route runners. He’s had one pure route runner and he turned Thielen into a 1000 yard receiver. At age 35. The Panthers drafted Young to be a “point guard” and proceeded to give him the exact opposite of what he’s needed. It would sure be nice to have a deep threat as well. Something Bryce had at Bama

      I'm the same and I just gave up on it years ago.  I expect the new sale to make it a worse fall into making bigger revenue streams and that's not going to be offline franchise.

      Renfrow for being a role player has been 100% fine.  Heck he should have at least 4 TDs.  Bryce Young just can’t throw the ball.  When he does look Renfrows way and he is open it’s almost always just a bad throw.  Renfrow also has been out there setting great picks like the big play to TMac, getting Bryce Young horrible turnovers wiped on away from the play routes etc.  You could literally already make a highlight real of bad throws to him by Bryce and none of that is pimping Renfrow.   It just highlights Bryce fails at basics over and over every week without fail
