I am not really sure why we haven't signed guys like Quintin Mikell and Travelle Wharton. (or Brandon Moore when he was available) The motto this season seems to be "Just Win" and I think everyone would agree these guys would help us do so. I do like the idea of letting young guys develop, but you usually don't go that route when the main concern is winning games. We have cap space so offer the guys a decent 1 year deal so we keep the books clear for next season. I can understand older players not wanting to play for vet minimum. A better O lineman could be cut that we could pick up but i don't think that any safeties will be cut that are better than Mikell.

when guys get cut from other teams, we'll see some vets brought in.

 

My only problem with that is why would a team let anyone worth a darn go? So is it really going to be that much of a upgrade grabbing a player another team let go?

 

Its kinda like adopting a dog or buy one from a friend, and your like "why would someone give away such nice looking dog" Then you take it home and it craps every, eats up the furniture and never listens. No one gives away a good or well behaved dog. Just like no team would give away a player who can actually help them. Just my opinion.....

but it happens frequently.

 

guys a little long in the tooth and/or who have unpleasant cap numbers or who just simply are the victims of being in a crowded, but talented position group on their team, will see the axe when cuts come.

Hold on, I'll text Gettleman this idea. It's so revolutionary I am sure he hasn't thought of it .

 

I'm sure he has thought of it. I am asking why he isn't doing it. If I had the ability to trade my Nissan for a BMW I wouldn't think about it.

I'm not disagreeing by no means, I hope it does happen b/c we need something....

Jammal Brown, Sean Locklear, or Jared Gaither. Any of the three would be better than Bell. Gaither would be the choice if he could be motivated.

 

 

So why isn't anybody else signing them?

 

Put Mcneil on the injuried on their couch Olinemen you want to throw money at list.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
