David Aldridge: Gerald Wallce is the next to go


Black

Recommended Posts

I'd say Crash and Felton are as good as gone. Brown with a fire sale in order to try and get some of his guys. I guss it really doesnt matter because the Bobcats suck but if they were to have gotten a top 3 pick this year they could have really made some moves this summer. I imagine he is trying to make this club into Detroit south...no star players but a damn good TEAM.

We were on pace to only win 25-30 games this year which would have set us back two straight years after getting better our first three. Cleaning house is not a bad idea. Yes, things could get even worse but I think we were past the point of fine tweaks here and there.

I have a hard time with change sometimes but I am all for taking a few risks at this point.

i dont know if i would call this a fire sale, more of a donation to the salvation army. the team is awful and pretty much everyplayer needs to hit the road (except Dj). im glad were doing what were doing and lets face it, it's the reason we brought larry brown in here in the first place. he's gonna blow up our sand castle and build us a house with a solid foundation.

Maybe...but we could just as easily end up as the Knicks as Detroit. I guess I'm spoiled by being a former huge Hornets fan when they were in Charlotte. Bob Bass was a hell of a poker player. Even when he had to trade Mourning, LJ, and Jones, the team always got talent back. Since I've followed the Cats all trades have been lopsided in favor of the other team, exept for the Okafor trade. I agree that the Bobcats are a failure so far and that change is needed. I think the teams failures so far can be blamed on horrible drafting. Could of had Roy or Gay, could of traded 5/13 for CP3, could of tempted the Magic with some picks or players for the #1 overall pick that year and taken Howard over Oak.

Im not sure where you are going with any of this. Honestly maybe i missed something. Okafor trade? We drafted him. Weren't we in our first year when we drafted Oak? So how would we have thrown stuff at the magic for Howard. Anyway i dont mind Brown clearing house with the way things have been going but he better not bail out on us. If he sticks around he can make this team special if not we have just been set back a few more years.

I can understand why the Bobcats stoop pat at 5 and 13 (when they needed bodies) because there was no evidence that Paul was going to be as good as he has been...I think DW, RF and CP were all rated close with CP and DW considered marginally better.

I actually agree with you. At the time we needed a pg and a big man. May was always healthy in college and looked like he could do pretty good in the NBA. You never know in the NBA if guys are gonna pan out so there is no point on bitching about past picks. I never really felt Raymond would be very good in the NBA but i guess he was the best option at the point for us. Dont remember all the point guards in that draft but at 5 i think he was the best.

The Bobcats traded the 4th pick for the 2nd pick in that draft, which ended up being Okafor. So, yeah the Bobcats traded up for Okafor. The Magic were flip flopping between taking Oak or Howard so the Cats could have traded the 2nd pick with some players or picks for that #1 pick.

I dont mind the Cats clearing house either but it'd be nice for them to have an exiting player in return. It pisses me off that the Bobcats have wiffed on so many players. My fantasy bobcats would be, and yes, I know if we got anyone of these guys we wouldnt be in position to draft the "guy" the next draft but for fun the lineup could have been:

Dwight Howard

--signed PF--

Crash

Roy

CP3

That lineup would seel alot of tickets and win alot of games.

May wasnt healthy at all in college. He had knee and weight problems the first 2 years at Carolina. He lost some weight and got in shape, thanks to Roy Williams, which allowed him to have a very good championship year. May has a ton of skills but zero work ethic and that should have been a huge red flag. Think Derrick Coleman light.

Felton was ranked as the 3rd PG prospect in that draft on everyones board. There was debate between Paul and Williams on which would be the best PG, but Felton was always ranked behind those 2 guys.

I agree that Felton had to be the pick at 5 being the chips fell like they did. I. howerver, thought he would be a better pro than he has turned out to be. I always knew Williams and Paul would be better than Felton but not by this much.

    • "A wasted developmental year..." It's just part of the process of rebuilding, changing the culture and the narratives surrounding a franchise that's been circling the drain. Better to be pulling yourself out than in the tank. This may be our last chance to not become the new version of the Browns or Jets for the next 20 years. 
    • Smitty and Lance Zierlein see eye to eye on the top four, then they start diverging a little bit. It's an hour and 18 minutes.    Link only (due to NFL content.) https://youtu.be/LDzLS0viRX4?si=P5JkRNA8eqevnpHc Again, if you like hearing about receivers, give it a listen. I know at this point that it's easy to get overwhelmed and/or simply tired of too many opinions. That being said, I found the discussion about some of the receivers pretty interesting.  Tidbits: Both have Nabers WR1, but you can't go wrong with Harrison or Odunze. Smitty has Ladd at 8, Zierlein at 5. Smitty has Worthy at 5. Sixth is AD who needs to work on route running. Zierlein said two ex-receivers that Smitty knows have expressed concerns (and, just guessing, it could be Keyshaun & Irving). Legette is 9th. Which Legette are you getting? Many of these receivers, including Odunze will have to play in specific roles for them to shine.  Pearsall is 14th. He can play outside but eats in the slot.   The most interesting thing to me about watching these many analysts is that they all agree that where a guy is drafted and how he is deployed absolutely matters. It can make or break careers. Sure, you have some guys that can do it all, but those aren't as prevalent as we'd like to think, that's why putting guys in the best situations to succeed is so crucial. At the same time, you may not even know all the guy can do based upon the offense he was in on the collegiate level, so you at least have to explore the possibility that he can do more. Coaching is so important.     
    • I never tried HGH but tried a number of different gear related items over the years to include, test cypionate, test enanthate, sustanon, equipoise, masteron, primobolan, anavar and winstrol and damn sure enjoyed all of them. I heard a lot of good on HGH but also some bad. They sure do help in the short term over a number of years but when the playing days come  to an end you end up regretting all that stuff when you get past your 20's and into late 30's and early 40's. I would most definitely advise Bryce to avoid at all costs even if it means him losing his career. Gear is a silent killer and it slowly takes years off your life. Nearly killed me years later. He needs some good nutrition, some hard weight training and some explosive training on a field and I bet Bryce would very much have improved performance on game days. Drew Brees while taller than Bryce by a little was in fact very strong for his size and trained very hard for that strength which I believe helped him to be who in my opinion could possibly be tied for the best QB ever. Bryce needs to get on the Drew Brees training and nutrition plan.
