This dude... He may be making a difference off-the-ball, but his production with the ball is absolutely horrible. I don't know that I've seen a center throw up so many airballs within 3 feet of the rim. And he has repeatedly done things that completely defy situational strategy and logic. At the end of the game tonight, I believe we were up one, or it was tied, and he got the ball and turned around immediately and threw up a horrible shot as he almost fell into the cameramen under the basket. Then, at the nd of the game, he gets a rebound, down by three, and tries to shoot a two with the ladt shot of the game.

Color me disappointed so far.

I agree and disagree...

He plays good for the first 45 minutes of the game, but the last 3 minutes he was awful. He missed three shots to either tie the game, win the game, or get us within one. He's just a black hole down the stretch.

For the life of me, I don't know why we didn't go to Kemba (10-13) down the stretch.

Aside from my comme t about the airballs, which I've seen him do multiple times over the last week or so, it pretty much is just the end of the game - which is what I was referring to with the situational strategy.

I get that we're paying him to pretty much be the guy, but the way he got the ball when we were tied and immediately turned into a spin and then shot with Gasol all over him was completely retarded. He drove completely under the basket and threw it up into the bottom of the rim. It made absolutely no sense.

Yeah I heard Dell say that they need to go through Al down the stretch... I was like what the hell?

 

He has missed two shots to win the game already and you want to give him a third?

 

What's funny (but not really) is his inability to score down the stretch cost us the game against the Pacers last night as well.

      Serious question:  Why LG and not RG?  There may be something I do not know, but Hunt's contract is huge and he could be let go after this season (post june 1 cut) and it would save the Panthers a ton of money.  Extending him would be paying a G who is in his mid 30s guaranteed money (and I do not see that as a terrible thing).  So if we release him at age 31, we save $19m.  I like him, but at 31, will he be worth the mega contract?   LG Damien Lewis has actually outperformed Hunt and he is a year younger.  He would also save less vs. the cap and leave less in the dead cap pool.  While his current contract expires after the 2027 season, he is a better prospect (IMO) to extend because only 50% of his current contract was guaranteed.  Here are his contract numbers.   Now, getting to Ickey--he could want LT money if he is offered a second contract.  If we pay him LT money to play either G positions, we are likely overpaying.  Secondly, the injury he suffered could be one that limits his productivity.  Ickey was improving, but he was an average LT.  The only way I re-sign Ickey is to have him accept a G contract and make a lot of it incentive based.     I feel like I am missing something, but in my mind, Ickey was always a guard if you consider the fact that he is an average OT and would be a great G.  Is that still the case (injury)?

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Supplemental draft uses picks from next year. So a team were to draft him in the 1st, their upcoming 1st next draft would no longer be available. There have been some notable players that were obtained in the supplemental draft, such as Kosar. It doesn't necessarily happen every year either, and is more on a as needed basis. The gambling trouble is a big red flag for teams, and maybe pushes him down to a 4th? Not sure a team would use a 1st on him.
