Hold Onto Your Butts: MKG BEING SHOPPED.

Doubt this happens.  It's too early to bail on MKG.  Dunlap didn't play him enough and I think the potential is too great.   Who would they trade to us (Pistons)?  Monroe?  Drummond?  Those are the only ones I'd be interested in.

Yeah can't imagine the Pistons having anything to give us.  We'd have to give up a lot more than MKG to get Monroe or Drummond I would think. 

 

Probably nothing to see, but it wouldn't be unheard of to deal him.  Weren't the Wolves shopping D-Will (fellow #2 pick) last year at the draft?

I personally value MKG on the same level as Monroe and Drummond because I don't really think we got to see the real MKG.

There was a report that came out from Steve Martin (the Bobcats drunk play by play announcer) that MKG had called Coach Cal multiple times saying that he made a huge mistake leaving UK after one year.

This leads me to believe that MKG wasn't comfortable here last year (which would affect hisbplay) and I attribute that uncomfortability to Dunlap who clearly showed he was not a players coach.

I actually think that MKG has all the tools to be a very good three, very similar to what Gerald Wallace was for us for the longest time.

For what it's worth, the Bobcats beat writer for the Observer (Rick Bonnell) said he would be "shocked" if we traded MKG.

I would take Monroe over MKG every day of the week because it's way harder to find a good big man than a slashing SF.  I know he has potential and Dunlap was, well, Dunlap, but we need a big.

 

That being said this probably isn't even happening and they wouldn't give up Monroe I don't think.  I wouldn't believe this really but, anything could happen.

Maybe if we were getting a guy like Cousins back? I still don't really like it.

That being said, I can't say I'm surprised considering Cho didn't exactly give MKG a ringing endorsement at the end of the season.

My opinion is that is shot is HORRIBLE but can improve, but I also think he has HUGE potential across the board. We got robbed last season because Dunlap was a blubbering idiot and MKG often times ended up sitting out entire halves because of it. He will make an impact next season.

    • 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
