LAS VEGAS New Charlotte Bobcats coach Steve Clifford doesn’t want to get caught shorthanded next season at point guard or among the big men.

 

That’s Clifford’s general philosophy in building an NBA roster. With the Bobcats signing free-agent center Al Jefferson and re-signing power forward Josh McRoberts, the roster has been firmed up. The last major step will be resolving whether shooting guard Gerald Henderson is back, either through a multi-year extension or on the one-year qualifying offer.

 

Clifford sees signing a third point guard and retaining another big man as priorities.

 

“You have to have a third point guard. If your team’s not organized in this league, you have no chance to play well,” Clifford said at summer-league practice Wednesday.

 

“I think you have to have six bigs,” he added, referring to centers and power forwards.

 

“We have some flexibility in that (small forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist) will play some power forward. But if you don’t have enough bodies up front and you go to Memphis and one of them has the flu, that means somebody (undersized) has to guard Zach Randolph.”

 

This explains why they had (have) interest in Greg Oden, Antawn Jamison, and Jamaal Tinsley.

If we seriously want a PF, Drew Gooden could be a good backup choice.

 

It's such a change, we usually have hardly any big men, but Clifford seems to value them pretty high.  I like that.

He can take the fur ball on the back of his head somewhere else.

Everybody is on dyson ands aying he sucks and is no count. But honestly I'm one of the ones who see his potential and like what he bring to our team. He is an efficient scorer with Derrick rose talent and prolly can destroy kemba. Laugh if u want guys. We have our star. We just gotta give him a shot.

Is what u would say if u were better at trolling.

I literally had my jaw drop... Lol

The feeling was much more than just a sports disappointment..I just started to dive into..wow no wonder society is so messed up..you could show a video of someone randomly being shot and 35% would support the shooter.

Thank god it was a joke...my feelings on society as a whole must be on thin ice latley lol.

      Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually.

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
