Solid move.

Neal is a solid shooter that can also knock down the three.

I'm not a fan of Ridnour but his deal is expiring so it appears that he was just an add in.

Overall it appears like we acquired Neal for at least two years and only lost one million in cap space in the process.

Good trade.

 

Ridnour can run the PnR very well.  He's a traditional PG that we can use instead of the ball hog driver Sessions is.  I don't think we lost out here but gained.  I don't mind this trade.  Two things I always thought we needed was more shooting and more of a passing PG.  So not bad.

We're trying to play the inside out game with Big Al, so bringing in a guy like Neal who is an above-average 3 pt shooter for a guy like Sessions who is a below-average 3 pt shooter makes perfect sense to me. 

 

Ridnour can replace Sessions PG minutes AND he's an expiring contract.

 

Like it!

      I mean, I hear what y'all are saying, but Derrick could have been positive without being negative.  He essentially accused people of not seeing Bryce's improvement because of their desire to not be wrong. He could've kept it about Bryce and the team. For example, he could've said: "Bryce has made strides, and we believe in him. This coming season, his continued improvement will turn a lot of people into believers."  That would've been supportive of his teammate and sent a message to the doubters. That being said, his tact almost summoned and left the door ajar for more skepticism. That's my take anyway. Bryce has improved from the bottom to perhaps skirting the line between the bottom third and mid-third at best...after three seasons. We've all seen it. Yay! In my mind, Bryce has still got a long way to go and a short time to get there, but my expectations are top five--at least top 10--always! Yes, I am a fan, so there's that, but I don't believe it's unreasonable to expect excellence. Hopefully the Panthers FO has the same mindset (and that doesn't even necessarily have anything to do with what we gave up to acquire him). That is the lens I'm looking through. Derrick Brown has his homer glasses on. He just needs to be more diplomatic and thoughtful with his words in my opinion, but I get it that he's a good teammate.

      Canes vs Canadians Gm 2 Rd 3 7pm

      I have no doubt the Canes will come out like gangbusters, huge bounce back from game one - my only concern is Freddie, if he lets in a couple of softies and Dobes stays hot we could be in trouble.
