Bobcats can't get any worse. Might as well see what you can get for it.

I'm sure Ainge will give MJ $2 for it and their 2nd round pick. The way Jordan has managed the team so for, he'll probably take it.

hmmm... i think 14 is too low for us to move and still get a solid player that i would want. if we trade out that low we would have to get a solid vet as well and the only vet i like from houston is kevin martin since he is a strong scorer but he has a horrible contract so i wouldnt take him. Other than that for houston the youth is patrick patterson and morris and neither would really be of any interest to us IMO. Both are tweener sf?pf and we dont need that here. chase buddinger is a good player but not good enough for me to want any type of move for him. honestly the only trade i would consider would be kyle lowry, thabeet, 14 and 16, and truly im not sure if i would even do that.....

Trading with Houston would put us too far down in the draft, IMO. I think we should stand pat and take Harrison, but I doubt that happens. Wish we could somehow get the 4th or 5th pick. I we were in that area, it would probably make a lot more sense to everyone to take Harrison

They want a star* player in return, so unless they can get a deal worked out with someone where they could acquire a talent like Rudy Gay (or a similar talent), I don't see a trade happening. Word is that the pick will be MKG or T-Rob. Both have said they would like to play for the Bobcats as well.

To me, this takes Houston out of the equation because there is no one on the Houston Roster that is worth the second pick.

Thabeet was moved at the deadline. Sorry. How about Samuel Dalambert? I think his contract is one year at $7M...

only if you took tyrus contract from us and we got lowry 14, 16 then id think about it lol... rockets just dont have what it takes to move up and your too far down to still get the elite 6 or so in this draft

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      They traded away their 1st next year also to get James Pearce Jr. Really hope this blows up in the Falcons face. I don't care how it happens, I just want to win the division this year. Zero sympathy for other team's issues. And our pass rush looks like it needs all the help it can get.

      I would have released him this season, tbh and worked with Christensen out there.

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      By Seltzer · Posted

      10/10. We're due for some good luck, and I think this team is much better than what we've had the last 2 seasons. Defensive injuries could derail us b/c our depth there is still questionable. Still worried about the pass rush getting pressure without blitzing. Pleasantly surprised by the secondary and run defense.  Dan Morgan has done a lot to resurrect this roster from the deplorable position Fitterer left it in by showing some scouting chops with hitting on these guys drafted in the later rounds or UDFAs. Lathan Ransom & Corey Thornton both look like they fit this scheme and the NFL isn't too big for them.  I'm as excited for the rookie trifecta of T-Mac, Scourton, and Princely as I can remember. On paper, this offense is the most talented since 2021, maybe 2017, and maybe 2015. None of that means this team will produce any better, but this team has offensive talent & depth like we have rarely had in team history. If you don't believe me, go Google it. We've had some awful offensive collections overall in many years, to varying degrees mitigated by superstar talents like Steve Smith, Christian Mccaffrey, or Cam Newton.  I honestly think the collective offensive talent in 2025 may be better, but Cam was so otherworldly in 2015 & 2017 that he covered any flaws. Seriously, though, Cam doesnt get enough love for 2017. I think that may have been his best season. In general, Cam doesn't get enough respect IMHO. Both in college and in the NFL, Cam took teams that without him would have had no chance and won. True definition of a guy who elevated his team. To be clear, I am in no way am I saying this team will be better than 2017 or 2015. My point is that the offensive talent is there on offense if Bryce can unlock it.  I've been a Bryce supporter, but there are no excuses not to perform with this group. This isn't the disaster we gave him in 2023 or a new scheme like in 2024 where I think he hadn't mentally removed from his rookie season to start. I dont know how you couldnt be excited about that. And we still compete in a division that isn't insurmountable. I got got in 2023 like most of us in buying into the team propaganda, but in general, I think I'm pretty realistic about the team. I knew in my heart we would be bad last year. I wasnt expecting the defense to be that bad or Bryce to start off that poorly, but I had no expectations whatsoever for making the playoffs. And I genuinely think we will be competitive all year this season. I think we win 8-9 games and compete for the division. I think the ceiling is 11 wins, and the floor is 7. The good news is after next week, we will all be proven right or proven wrong. Keep Pounding!
