Silas tells Maggette he is the guy

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.

      Deebo wants out of SF, and our current odds are high

      By frankw · Posted

      This is from 5 months ago. It was one or the other. Trade for one or draft one. We apparently called the Jets about Wilson. We also talked to the Seahawks about Metcalf. Drafting our own guy was the best course of action given the required investment. Regardless now is the time for Bryce Young to produce. We are fourth amongst all teams in cap spending on the OL. Back to back first round picks at WR and multiple young TE draft picks now. Very solid and respectable backfield. New pieces across the defense. The time is now.

      That was just the worst time to have their worst game of the season. One key deal was the broncos guess the Panthers would NOT change any plays or flow to the game. Another key point overlook that bronco defense was truly one of the best in the NFL history. It was the best defense the Panthers faced that year, by far. They were not ready for it, but broncos were ready for the Panthers. Mix in that bad luck, poor refs showcase, and this is the golden boys last game........ Panthers needed to win by 20 and the broncos defense was not going to allow that.  Panthers were the favorites and I believe they also thought that it was going to easier than them destroying NFC playoff teams as they marched to the SB. I've heard darin Gantt say the play calls were to give remmers help, but for some reason the team never did it. During the year they never had that problem, so maybe never practiced giving help via TE/RB, or WR chip. Cam was superman that year, no need for any adjustments...... Until you meet a legendary defense with studs at all levels, Think about it, Peyton was throwing wingless dunks for the whole season, the defense had to carry his corpse to the SB. That's how good they were, not many defense are able to get to the playoffs and win a SB without decent QB play. If you recall the beginning of that defense took Tim Teblows and his non-throwing arse to the playoffs couple years before. That's insane the level of defense needed to overcome.
