Silas tells Maggette he is the guy


Recommended Posts

Coach Paul Silas has already told Corey Maggette that the newly acquired small forward will start next season.

Maggette won't even be forced to fight for the job. This also confirms that the Bobcats are sticking with Boris Diaw at the power forward spot, which is bad news for Tyrus Thomas and Bismack Biyombo. As the starting small forward on a team devoid of scorers, we're expecting Maggette to get a ton of shots up next season. He'll be an asset for owners in need of points and free-throw shooting.

I don't see why Cranston is so upset that Silas is not making him fight for the job when Maggette is the only true small forward that the Bobcats have on the roster. I know they just made a qualifying offer to Dante Cunningham, but I think Cunningham needs one more year to mature before they see if he can become a starter at the next level. On top of that we traded Captain Jack, Livingston, and our 19th pick in the draft for Maggette (and Biyombo), so we might as well use all that we can get out of him.

Why does this confirm that Diaw is the starter? Did he think that Diaw was going to be the SF and Tyrus the PF? That's not a horrible idea but in no shape or form does this mean Diaw is going to be starting. We are paying big bucks for a talent like Tyrus, he needs to be starting.

That's what I was thinking. Why does that confirm Diaw is starting? Haha

Diaw needs to come off the bench, this way he can create mismatches against the other teams reserves, at the 3, 4, and, even sometimes at the 5. I seriously think Diaw would be very valuable in this role. I'd rather have TT starting.

This, either trade him or let TT start

I could get on board with this, provided that TT can stay out of foul trouble.

Its unlikely Diaw will be on the team at the start of the season, i honestly think he will be dealt by then for some sort of future pick in a way for MJ to save having to pay his salary this year.

He will have the most value at the trade deadline. I bet he gets dealt to a contender in need of help at the forward spot for a 1st round pick. And you know he will play hard this year since it is a contract year.

    • That's true. I did actually mean the FO but that's a fair point.
    • A guy like Jones at average pay is going to not work out IMO. The 20 million difference to spend elsewhere is too large of a hurdle when the QB plays good but not carry the team good. They are in the sweet spot currently at cost to value with him. Darnold is pretty much the same. Good in a limited role but lean on him and he will fold. Tua didn't beat good teams when it had to be on his back to be the difference, and that was true when his team was stacked. All of Murray's talent has resulted in 1 winning season for them and 1 wildcard loss. The NFL has an overpaying mediocre QB issue. At the right price it's not an issue but can be a positive. It inevitably leads to a worse roster which becomes a poo show. NY gave up their RB because they paid Jones and proved that. The first is most likely leading to the second. Baker is bucking that trend but he was always the best of any of that group, even if his time here was pretty much the worst setup possible.
    • If you only factor passing, there is a VERY mild argument Dalton is more efficient but it's ignoring the threat Cam was as a big play literally every snap. With his feet OR through the air. Dalton was never that type of player. I would say Dalton over 200 is a very safe bet.
