Is it as painfully obvious to everyone else as it is to me, just how disinterested Boris Diaw plays? As pathetic as it would be, if you DVR'ed the game tonight, go back and watch just Diaw during the game. On offense, he will stand at the top of the key looking to hand off, set a half-screen, and then will stand there and watch the jump shot. He won't crash the boards, nothing. I mean, stuff a high school kid would get benched over.

It's sad that he gets minutes when he could give a rats ass about being on the court. If we're going to lose every game anyway, put a less talented but hungrier player in the game. It's got to frustrate Silas to no end watching Boris' effort.

And in a contract year of all things - total mind fug.

trade Diaw, trade Tyrus Thomas, see if Augustine elicits any sort of attention

Rebuild around Kemba, Bismack, and Hendo (keep Reggie Evans and Byron Mullens for depth)

seriously there is absolutely no point in trying any more this season. Stock pile draft picks and hope for the best

You're not kidding. He's been mailing it in for a while now. From what I saw tonight he was mainly cherry-picking, and when he did chuck up a 3 he was short-arming it and jogging back up the court after he missed. For a team with so many young, promising players it's a shame to see an experienced player so aloof about everything.

This implies that they were trying to begin with. Management knew what they were getting into and the message of "tanking" should have been made loud and clear to fans when Boris Diaw trotted out onto the floor to start the season at center.

It's a shame, because the second D-Wade somehow banked in that contested layup to complete the Bobcats' choke-job in game 2, the momentum, youthful energy, etc. was sucked out of this team.

I really like your plan for Phase 3 of Bobcats de-construction, the question is, will other teams take on anybody from this roster?

Biyombo is really showing the reason he was drafted so high.

He is crazy long and athletic and seems to be taking to what he is being taught..soaking up knowledge like a sponge. Give this kid an offseason, a summer league perhaps, and he should continue his rapid development.

If we don't trade DJ now I'm afraid he will just walk for nothing at the end of the season.

He is a restricted FA, so the option to match any contract is there. I think he is definitely available for the right price, but I dont know how many teams would be willing to overpay a bit to sign him away.

Agree with what others have said about Biyombo. He has already shown so much more potential than a lot of rookie big men (ol' Alexi Ajinca comes to mind) and every around him has good things to say about his work ethic.

I want to go see a game at some point this year just to see all the young guys. I was thinking about the Minnesota game, a chance to see Rubio, Love and the rest of their surprisingly fun team and the tickets should still be cheap

Comparing any big man to Alexi "The French Pastry" Ajinca is an insult to all other big men. That guys had no business being drafted at all...neverless the 1st round.

      ESPN showing some love on out draft class!!

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      He makes a good point about Wallace.  In fairness to Wallace it is hard to play your position as freely as you need to when your defensive line is getting pushed around like ragdolls.  One of the greatest attributes a defensive line has is sucking up blocks, freeing up your linebackers.  Our defensive line couldn't suck up a lollipop more or less blocks.  I think Evans, Sanders and Tremble are going to be a really nice TE group.  I can see all three getting time on the field.  If Sanders can improve as a blocker teams won't be so inclined to believe it is a pass play whenever Sanders is on the field.  Ryan Fitzgerald, I think was an awesome pick-up. Hopefully he can fill our kicker void. Luke Kandra many turn out to be our next Norwell.  Everything I have heard about him says he's a beast.  He needs some refinement, but the good news is he's got Hunt and Lewis (arguably the best guard tandem in the league) to learn from.

      Morgan & Canales

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Great teams build through the draft and have several young players that start that are on rookie contracts. It's important to hit on players in rounds 4 thru 7.  These should be future starters and solid depth.  When you hit on most of your picks you free up a lot of cap space for those one- or two-year players to fill spots you are thin at. No GM is going to perfect on all their picks.  You're going to whiff every once in a while.  That was Hurney problem.  He'd nail the first pick but after that it was reach after reach and we couldn't get any depth on this team. I'm excited about Morgan as our GM and hopefully he'll be around a long time.  It will be even better if Canales can continue to grow as a head coach, both in the development of young players and play calling. I remember last season after Young came back in the lineup and started to perform well.  We saw different plays I had only seen other teams use.   If Canales's play design and play calling continue to grow. Morgan and Canales will be linked together for a long time.  It would be nice to see a Coach and GM together for a decade or two. Go Panthers
