Bobcats Trade The #1 Pick?

ok I see the smoke coming out of your ears but hear me out. Bobcats need more than just 1 player. There are many teams with 2 first round picks, cleveland, portland, utah, New Orleans, Boston etc. Would you be willing to give #1 for 2 lower 1sts?

I wouldn't be opposed to it, especially if both of NOLA's lottery picks are top five...but I do have bad memories of the 2005 (?) draft when the 'Cats had two first and took felton/may when they probably should have traded both to get CP3 or Deron Williams. I know it was reported that trading was thought about and discussed.

1) We don't know where we are picking yet. 2) IF we have the number 1 pick, then absolutely not. There is no player in the draft on Davis' level. He is the type of guy that can turn around an organization. You build around that type of player. It was what the organization has always needed and never got. Even in year 1 when we should have been able to get Howard, we missed out. But like that, knowing our luck, we won't get the number 1 pick.

personally, I dont think Unibrow will be the superstar everyone expects him to be.

I'm with you on this. I personally would like 2 1st rounders, but I can understand the cats going with Davis. His offensive game just scares me

Honestly I would be completely willing to trade #1. I was thinking about this yesterday as a matter of fact. I am not as in love with the unibrow as everyone else (doesn't mean I think he will stink, just not convinced he is a franchise changer).

If we could get a king's ransom and only move down a couple spots I would do it in a heart beat.

I dont think he will be a superstar but a good player. I would trade #1 pick to get 2 lottery picks.

Definitely, especially if we can get the two best Duke and/or UNC players available.

I'd love to have Marshall as the PG, too bad they took Kemba last year and already have Augustin. :(

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
