Could we trade back in the first and try getting this guy. He has all the attributes and physical tools and play like a beast every game. Heck, I think he could be playing football if he wanted to. I'd like for us to get bigger. Just wondering what y'all think. Wouldn't mind giving a next year first to grab Jones. Would be awesome to have Davis and Jones in this year draft.

No thanks. He is undersized for the four and doesn't provide the perimeter athleticism or range to the play three. He has flashes of attitude problems and doesn't necessarily have the overall package a lottery pick should. I wouldn't mind a Terrence Jones late in the first or top of second...but anything higher would be a reach (IMO). NBADraft.net has him compared to Marvin Williams while draftexpress has him best case as Michael Beasley..though Beasley is a much better shooter.

FWIW, IMO.

Im not taking him this year as a lotto pick.

I'm all for Davis.

I think Jones is someone who is going to be a 15-20 pick player. I wouldn't mind trading in that range and grab him for a future pick.

Thomas Robinson is a sure lotto pick and is being dominated by Jones right now.

First off, Anthony Davis is our guy.

Second, Terrence Jones is an undersized power forward, which is not one of our huge needs.

Third, if we were going to package guys together it better be Davis and Kidd-Gilchrist.

Theres no way we getting Davis and Gilchrist. Both are going in the top five.

I brought up Jones bc he's one who we could trade back up and get in the 15-20 range.

Thomas Robinson is probably a sure lotto pick. Hes also flashing attitude problems right now. Jones is dominating Robinson tonight. Jones is not a lotto pick but I'd like to trade back in the mid to take this guy.

I think in the NBA, attitude is not so much a problem like in the NFL. If you watch, many players from Lebron to Blake Griffin to etc.... all flash attitude problem. I think it has to do more within the game itself than just the player.

If we could trade Thomas to get Terrance I would do that.

C- Bismack Biyombo, Byron Mullens

PF- Anthony Davis, Terrence Jones, D.J. White

SF- Reggie Williams, Corey Maggette, Derrick Brown

SG- Gerald Henderson

PG- Kemba Walker

That's a solid group right there to continue the rebuilding process with.

Would be nice. I would try trading Maggette also.

Not a fan of his shot selection. Over the past two years I have seen him rely way too much on his athleticism and try to over power people. That won't work in the NBA. He needs some work on his shot for him to be successful in the NBA. He's a pretty well rounded player but with the way he plays he needs a mid range shot.

      If you can only fire ONE person before 2026....

      Someone correct me- doesn't Dave have a six year contract??? I think Dan Morgan does as well..... that's the price you have to pay once you get a rep for firing HCs....

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Basbear · Posted

      Brother re-check that guarantee...my page shows 30mill.....thats means he's staying in my book for at least til the end of 2026.  Im going to be my normal honest self, besides watching like half of the SB, I didn't know the guy. My guess is Panthers have a "planned model of paying players" and they almost had to spend a chunk of space on a DLman after Dbrown injury season gave them a nightmare out-come of worst D in NFL scoring. Once Milton got above Dbrown payments, they went with the plan B. A player whom the "co-GM" put his name with. Brad said turk would not be a problem off-field and leader, which the Panthers need badly. I dug in with the google-fu, I found out  I also found him playing lots of NT, which was shocking given the small frame. He seems ready for a bigger role and had a great SB too. IDK, I feel Dan Morgan was dead set on not going into this season without more DL depth and its there. The real deal is this, nearly all FA take one year to "adjust". I think turk is trying too hard and causing injuries as a result for his contract. Dbrown called turk "strong as hell" and I know for a fact Dbrowns has insane core and strength numbers. They lift together with the 50 LB difference...... you always lift with a guy who's similar in strength cause you can leave on the 8 wheels, let the other guy lift while you rest and go after him.  I do wish he had a better beginning to his panther career, 3 games for him to do so and it would cover up the low points if he made a few plays.... Again it felt like they almost had to make move/spend $$$ and Morgan was going to have DL depth this season no matter what...My best guess.
