No draft picks for us this year.


Captain Morgan

Recommended Posts

Our pick this year is top 12 protected....Chicago gets it unless we draft in the top 12,

and right now, we're projected to pick higher than that.

And we don't have a second round pick.

There is a very good chance we don't even get a draft pick this year.

The good news is, right now, it looks like a very, very weak draft.

and we have 2 additional picks in the following 3 years to add to ours.

And we have free agent cash to spend.

gonna be fun watching Cho handle this.

Why in gods name would you want that. Sounds like a recipe for NBA purgatory- good enough to compete for the playoffs, not good enough to do anything in them, unable to improve with mid round draft picks and an inability to attract top free agents. Don't let the nice start fool you. While this team is drastically improved, there is still a long way to go, and we need to build through high draft picks.

I wish we could get Noel to be our C. Idk..I guess I just like his eraser top hair do..lol

Really though..imagine Biz developing the rest of this season and off season..and becoming a force at PF..then having a force at C..

l get picked too early for us to grab him though. I imagine top 3 or so...

wouldn't bother me. honestly this draft class blows, better off giving up that pick now so we don't have to in the stacked 2014 draft. we have cap space to significantly improve with if thats the direction they wanna go as well. and wouldnt be surprised to see Henderson or Sessions on the move for a pick or two at the deadline

You guys do know we are developing Biyombo to be a Center right? Think of him as hopefully becoming something like Ben Wallace, An absolute beast on defense. He played very well last year against Dwight and a few others. Also, I don't think I have ever seen him in a game some far play the 4.

    • We could quibble about was that an answer to what I asked but I  don’t see it as being one. Look, he agreed to this Evero thing. Up front. Apparently anyway. Took the job with those conditions in place. I buy that and will work off of it.  This play calling issue isn’t the same thing. I am not in the mood to delve into Canales’ shortcomings and get out the pitchforks at the moment. I will abstain from that topic and stick to the quandary the dissenters who want to usurp his play calling power, find themselves in. As far as that goes I am still on the fence and think the play calling is Bryce centric and the play selection/playbook is affected. That does not mean I know that if the playbook was open he would be great play caller. Just that he is hampered right now.  Inserting an OC not of Canales’ approval changes the original parameters of the assumed agreement.  Unless you think Tepper placed a contractual prescription to allow Tepper to dictate that he can insert a play caller of his choosing after a time period if he is not satisfied with Canales’ work.  Which, do you really think that is in play?  I do not.    Unless it is, Canales has the option to yea or nay. As I said, it could be forced on him. But they only do that if they want him out.  And as of now his stock is up, I would have to say I don’t own any but I think it is up. He had the stadium rocking, the team in the playoffs, and has that sorry lil draft pick trending upward. Even at this very low rate.  I think he has ‘hand’ right now as they say on Seinfeld. This is something that may get play in the 2026 season, not now. IMO.     
    • Canes now have 19 losses on the year. Here is the truly alarming stat. 13 of those were multiple goal loses. 9 of those were 3 goal plus losses. This team is getting blown out more than any other year under Rod.     why?  Blue line is a total mess. It’s just no good with their combinations.  It pains me to say this, but they were mikes better with Burns and Orlov. They need Slavin so bad.  Health.  Size. The team is too small and has no physical play. Most forwards do not forecheck.  Worst under Rod.  Goalie play. Pretty average to sub par. PK is downright bad. It’s allowing a little over a goal a game. Worst under Rod.    Team will not win a playoff round under its current group of players. It’s not constructed to do so against heavy teams.      solutions.  Must get physical size by the trade deadline. Rod and Tulsky know this. That probably has to come with the 2C.  KKs size but a better scorer and meaner.  The need another physical winger.  Goalie. Either go all in on a top guy on a bad team or get average. Lastly, better defense. Need a Right shot heavy defenseman.  Yes that could mean someone’s favorite dman could sit. Looking at you Boom.    thats 3-4 new guys that must be brought in for them to have a chance at a cup.  And it’s all players that are different and better than what they have.  They have the cap. KK is gone. Add 4 mill back.    And then hope it’s jells unlike Mikko.
