No more deal for me.

 

Play it out with who we have right now.

 

Make a run after Greg Monroe during the offseason.

 

If we're lucky, we get Marcus Smart with the Detroit pick. Then, take Glenn Robinson or Nick Stauskas with the Portland pick.

 

PG: Kemba Walker / Gary Neal

SG: Marcus Smart / Gerald Henderson
SF: Michael Kidd-Gilchrist / Jeff Taylor / Glenn Robinson
PF: Greg Monroe / Josh McBob
C  : Al Jefferson / Biz Biyombo / Cody Zeller

With that roster McBob would not be kept over Biz.

Biz is a good defender, rebounder, & shot blocker. McBobs is not. His 3pt shooting is no longer needed with Walker, Smart, Neal, & Robinson.

Could be, but he actually played for the Bucks before so, I don't see how they'd forget.  We won that trade big time.

 

 

I don't know man.  Sessions was a team leader and can drive to the hoop at will.  I always thought Sessions could have improved his jump shot and his foul shooting, but he could really manage our up tempo offense, he's a good distributor, and he's a great finisher at the basket.

 

This makes me worry about team chemistry.  I'm not sure if these two new additions can just jump in and start pumping out production.

 

We'll see what happens, and how this changes around the roles of our other players namely McRoberts who's in essence a pf with sg wing responsibilities.  I think he might suffer from this trade.

So any word if he will play Friday night?

 

Bonnell expects them to play Friday night.

If anything it helps McRoberts and increases his assist numbers and 3pt FG% because of the extra floor spacing. 

 

These guys are going to come in and contribute because of floor spacing, they are going to see some serious time with Jefferson on the floor. 

 

Kemba/Ridnour 

Neal

Tolliver

McRoberts

Jefferson

 

That lineup is going to be on the floor quite a bit and that's some serious floor spacing, that's like the Orlando Magic with Dwight Howard finals team floor spacing.

Ridenour gives the Hornets a true PG with a good shot off the bench.

Sessions would get to the foul line and was a good driver but Neal off the bench creates more balance on this team.

We have a ton of slashers in gerald n MKG which Sessions driving to the hoop nullifies.

Neal gives them a bench a guy that can put in 25-30 once in a while but probally a solid 8-12 points regularly.

      Nice to win, but Tim Weaver of SI has key duds among the studs

      It is hard to win in the NFL. I’m never going to put an * next to a Dub.

      The Dowdle Mirage - Play Calling Problems

      We had a very favorable matchup our o-line manhandles theirs. Even Etienne looked like he would have had a great game on his limited rushing opportunities.

      The Dowdle Mirage - Play Calling Problems

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I think that's part of the problem, he's spreading the ball around too much, many of them are the first read play calls, and on top of that, a large portion of them are purposefully called screens or other short passes. I just looked, the Cardinals are the only other team in the league right now without at least 3 players with 100+ yards receiving so far this year, with the majority of teams having 4 or more.  And even then, their #2 right now is McBride with over 200 yards. Our 2nd leading receiver this year has 108 yards (albeit with 4 more players with 82 or more). On the surface, that might not be as alarming as you might think, but when you add into it that Bryce is currently 6th in the league in pass attempts, and it's even more alarming that he hasn't gotten a 3rd player to 100 yards so far and his second highest is only 108. XL has 39 yards on 18 targets.  Renfrow has 82 yards on 24 targets.  Tremble has 87 on 16 targets.  Sanders has 92 on 14 targets. None of those are good enough, so why aren't we calling more plays with T-Mac as the first read and forcing the ball to him (and again, that's not me wanting my guy to get more targets, that's me wanting more targets for the only productive pass catcher so far this year, I'd feel the same no matter what that player's name was). All of this is why I have issues with Canales' play calling.  How do you have a player who had 73 yards in the first half and then you only give him 1 target in the 2nd half despite playing from behind the majority of that time? You can be happy about the win, happy about Dowdle getting 200 yards, but in a game where your QB threw it 30 times, I can't accept the above sentence in the same breath, that's just terrible play calling, which is on top of the already predictable play calling in general, which is also on top of boring play designs as well. Add it all up, and THAT is why I'm unhappy even after a win, not because "my guy" didn't have a bigger game.
