Cats making hard run at Goran Dragic, submit offer!


Recommended Posts

The Bobcats are said to be preparing an offer for unrestricted free agent Rockets point guard Goran Dragic.

It's hard to imagine Dragic playing in Charlotte, but it certainly seems possible now, if the money is right. He's also being targeted by several other teams, including the Mavericks, Suns and Raptors, but wherever he lands, Dragic is nearly guaranteed to be a starting NBA point guard next season. He played well enough last season to lose his sleeper status in most fantasy circles, but will be a highly popular PG pick if he lands in the right situation.

The Charlotte Bobcats have prepared an offer for unrestricted free agent point guardGoran Dragic, according to CBSSports.com's Ken Berger.

We already submitted a qualifying offer to Augustin, so if we land Dragic; we could possibly have a damn good group of point guards.

PG- Goran Dragic, D.J. Augustin, Kemba Walker

However, if we land Dragic and someone decides to submit an offer sheet for Augustin; we will most likely not match that offer.

Dragic averaged 11.7 points per game, 5.3 assists per game, 2.5 rebounds per game, and 1.3 steals per game last year with the Houston Rockets.

Dragic also recorded eight double-double's.

Points: 26

Assists: 14

Rebounds: 7

Steals: 4

Blocks: 1

Also of note, Dragic hit his stride in the final two months of play last year and that was with a mediocre and semi-talented Rockets team. To be honest, I don't see the Rockets being much more talented than us; they just gave more effort.

Anyway, Dragic had 27 straight games where he hit double figures in the last two months of the regular season; and in those two months seven double-double's and averaged 16.95 points per game.

He was pretty incredible for the Rockets down towards the end of the year.

If we get him for him for a good price, I will be pleasantly surprised and extremely happy. However, I would still be thrilled to have Dragic even if we do overpay him (a little) because of his impressive leadership skills; which is something Augustin doesn't have and never will have and something that Kemba hasn't acquired yet.

    • We've never seen them outside of the structure of two very well ran organizations I'll give you that. And yes they are long in the tooth. I do think they are more than capable of getting a franchise turned around in short term capacity though. They are by no means a long term solution.
    • You're not making a good-faith argument by blaming literally everything on the quarterback when the defense gave him a fat 38 seconds to overcome its ineptitude, but it seems you're dead-set on blaming him for any problem the team encounters. In this case, it's not warranted. Sometimes it is. But he had no time to throw (pressured on 46% of all dropbacks, an insane amount) and that's simply not all his fault -- particularly when they rush 4 or less and are in the backfield in 1.5s or less. Should we have gotten more than 0 yards? Sure! But he hit a WR in the hands on fourth down and it was dropped. Not his fault. He missed one throw on second down but I attribute first down to a bad play call and third down to poor pass protection. I would've called some quick slants, personally, but it really seems you're saying: - playcalling: Bryce's fault - poor pass protection: Bryce's fault - defensive choking away a lead: Bryce's fault, not the defense - Horn dropping a pass: Bryce's fault It's a great way to garner support on here, because when it comes to Bryce, logic takes such a backseat to context that it's not even in the same vehicle. Plenty of games can be attributed to him. Can't take anyone seriously who solely blames him for that one. 
    • I don't see how you can logically make that argument when the team beat two of the top teams in the entire league during the regular season.  Now imagine the additional games we would have won against absolute tip top competitors like SF and SEA had we had a professional QB.  You can throw any random stat at the problem you want, but the proof is in the pudding.  We all watched it live.  This roster would have produced 13 wins (wins against SF and SEA, two wins against NO, and would have swept the Bucs) and (almost certainly) a #1 seed with a remotely competent QB.  Those were not games where we needed an all star performance to win.  Those were games where a very, very modest stat line would have netted us an easy win. Nearly every measurable aspect of the team would have been significantly improved with a competent QB.
