  1. I'm not saying we don't need a little length, but I think the NBA is moving away from traditional centers and more towards overall team athleticism. Look at the Heat and Thunder. There wasn't a bunch of 7 footers on the court during the finals. Biyombo could have matched up against Perkins/Ibaka/Bosh no problem.

That's exactly what I'm talking about. That's why I said T-Rob could've even been a good addition if we didn't take MKG bc of like OKC where they have Ibaka and Perkins.

I think all these Bobcats' fans are dying for a real traditional Center bc they saw Hibbert shined last year. But it's hard to really find one and teams these days are really going smaller athletic players.

I'd like to add a Center like Lopez. Other than that, it's pretty much wasting money to have a mediocre team where we would fall out of the top 3-4 lottery pick with having a chance to draft a star prospect.

Other than that, I'd take Hickson if he would come here and have him at PF with Bismsck playing the 5.

You also want to draft Zellers who is a 5. So if you brought Hickson in to play PF you would have wasted a season of Bismack not playing PF. Zellers gets drafted by us and now you have to change Bismack again.

People keep saying this but how many teams won without a true center?

I'm willing to bet more teams have won with centers.

Let's remember the Bulls, Lakers, Dallas, and Spurs all had true centers.

By saying to draft Zeller or Noel, I mean if the FO want to tank another season. That's rebuilding mode with a young group of guys and I would prefer that scenario.

But if the FO really want to rebuild fast and spend some money, why not spend it on a guy like Hickson? You'll have s strong 4 and 5. Next year take a shooter then.

But why have a mediocre team to win a few games and drop out if the top 3-4 picks when you can tank it again and get a talented big man in Zeller or Noel and build a bright young future like OKC.

True but this year two finals teams had no true Center. It's great to have a guy like Hibbert who has all the physical attributes but how many teams actually has a true Center? Not much right. All i am saying is majority of the NBA teams are much smaller. Even this year no.1 pick AD, a big man is still only 6'11".

They really don't want to spend like that or they would have brought Hilbert in and gave him the Max. Or drafted Trob. They drafted MKG and will get Carroll and Diop off the books before they really start spending.

That's 1 year and not to many teams will have 3 elite scorer on them as well. It's a lot harder to build a team like Miami and OKC then is like the Spurs, Dallas, and the Lakers.

I Agee with that but teams now, are starting to have more smaller athletic guys to win. True 7 footer Center are really hard to find now and if you do have one, it's still hard to win with it (pacers) due to teams having great range shooters. Sure, Mavs won it with Chandler, but the real reason was bc of Nowitzki and Terry having the ability to score those jumpers.

Spurs got beat this year even though having Duncan, bc the other teams had guys who were faster and more athletic in guys like KD, Westbrook and Harden.

Also, just look at next year draft, the two best big men are 6'11" still.

Dallas wouldn't have won without Chandler.

Spurs have 4 titles.

And I'll take a 6'11 guy like Deandre Jordon, Or Zo Mouring.

Of course me too. But I thought we were debating about 7 footer true real Centers like Shaq and Chandler. Lakers and Mavs right?

6'11 and 7'0 are about the same thing so I put them in the same catagory. It has to do with height and mass as well. Dwight Howard is 6'11 and a true center.

Drummond is 6'11 and a true center.

I think you put too much in to measurements. Drummond isn't really a true anything.

      Fvck Bryce Young

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      Idk man, I think it’s necessary.  There’s people working 9-5s everyday that get told poo about what they aren’t and what they’re not capable of and they’re working for scraps.  These guys are making millions.  People are watching and invested because their team and fandom is a part of their identity and a big source of pride.  When someone like Bryce comes in and is given chance after chance after chance after proving he is not worthy of the position he’s being gifted, and he continues to be the biggest reason above any that we are losing, yeah…  I think it’s fair to call a spade a spade.  Am I saying Bryce the person is trash?  Bryce the person is a piece of poo?  Absolutely not.     I came up in an era, especially in basketball, where if you were fuging up people heckled the poo out of you.  I played in rec leagues as a teen where the fuging parents were calling kids trash and yelling poo like “TURNOVER!!!  TURNOVER!!!”  “CANT DRIBBLE!”  “CANT SHOOT!”  And that’s adults screaming that poo to kids like we were in the fuging Rucker lol.🤣🤣🤣  I went on to play basketball at a collegiate level and with professional players in different settings.  What those experiences as a kid taught me was to see if there is any merit to what people are saying, and if there is, then work my ass off til they can’t say that anymore.  Come back better, tougher, harder.  And I did.  If kids can figure that poo out, an adult calling another adult who is bad at his job while making millions and millions of dollars will be just fine.

      I'm 43.... I've lived half my life if I am lucky... will we ever have another team that we will fall in love with?!?

      I have tried to like this team, lord knows I have tried. BY9 is a nice young man, if I had a daughter he can take her to prom, but he ain't QB1 and he's not Cam or Delhomme Chuba is a average RB, he isn't Stephen Davis, he isn't J-Stew McMillan has the makings of a good WR, but he isn't 89/Moose D. Brown is a great player, but if the game was on the line I want Kris Jenkins       I miss this brand of football, even in the bad Jake games the games were entertaining It has been nearly 8 years now of watching numb football

      I’m not sure people understand how fuging bad it is

      I'm not so sure. Something about the whole Frank/Bryce situation seemed off from day 1. Bryce didn't fit Frank's QB mold as well as Stroud, then he basically gives up when Bryce is named starter in preseason but gets virtually no reps in games. Then he looks completely unprepared and Dalton steps in in Seattle, has a decent game under immense pressure, and it's right back to Bryce. All his mechanics are terrible and he's having the worst rookie season ever and Frank doesn't bench him?  You dont have to be a conspiracy theorist to know Bryce wasn't ready to be a day 1 starter. Everything with Bryce, then coaches, and the FO seemed forced.
