Too early, but should things continue this would definitely be a possibility.

The problem is you're going to run into a situation like the Braves are in right now. If you trade Al, you might as well tear it all down with the exception of the youngins and hope they develop enough so by 2016 you have a young core and cap space in a bad east to pitch to Steph a la Cleveland and LeBron.

The problem with that is Cho is not going to be the guy that tears down what he just built, so he would probably have to go.

God between the braves, hornets and panthers I'm ready pull my eyes out. I expected this year to be one of the best sports seasons for me ever (Braves coming off a 96 win season, Panthers off a 12 win season, and the return of the hornets) but the whole year has gone to poo.

Dan Uggla and Bj upton cost us a Heyward extension.

Just...I can't...that's just terrible...

On a positive note, should the hornets be in a position to sell off players, they already have a young core in the wings and the contracts they have on the books aren't exactly albatrosses (somebody will want to buy low on Kemba if he's made available. That's been the MO of the Kings for a couple years, and Hendo can be a throw in to match salaries.)

The Hornets section is a dumpster fire, did half of you start watching basketball last year?

Are you kidding? Chuck has actually gone away from his emotional posts and folks are dropping knowledge like it's going out of style.

Roster talk is a year round thing, and with Al surely opting out after this season it is interesting to think about.

Trade him for who?

 

It's a bit early, these guys have to learn to play together.  This isn't the NFL.  I'm a bit worried, yes, but it's still early.  

 

For a minute I thought I was in the Panthers section. This place is a damn abomination right now.

Pretty much how I feel also. I will say this, if Al doesn't start showing some intensity on the boards or defensively, I want him gone if we can get a good trade. He looks like he doesn't give a poo out there on the court.

      Agreed on the last part. They can’t afford to lose all these games with Martin and Perets.

      Serious Thoughts Fellas What numbers would Bryce..

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Yes.  And this converts directly to confidence.  Does the coach have confidence to call a deep dig or seam route?  Does Bryce have confidence in his ability to be the Alpha?  Do his teammates have confidence.  About film--when I see Cam Newton's pre-snap confidence vs. Bryce's, it is night and day.   Film--tells you if the WRs are open (why l love watching the Replay telecasts from the end zone cameras--you can see it.  I have seen 2 WRs open and Bryce's eyes are on the outlet WR or the pass rush. )  You can see progressions, and he has improved a bit--but he is very quick to rush through 1 and 2 and checkdown--that is a lack of confidence in his ability to read the defense.  I had a former NFL TE (Deems Maye) who played QB in high school (not sure about college) tell me that the best QBs read the defense by knowing where everyone will be when the ball is to arrive--not where they are.  I think his QB at the time was Humphries.  He said that Humphries would throw the ball into coverage before the cuts etc.  because he understood DB momentum, zone areas, etc.  and he could just see it.  Said so when people say nobody was open, they are usually right because nobody should be "open" when the QB has the ball--when the ball arrives, everyone should be open.  He said Humphries was never "great" but his skills were limited--from a small school--but his ability to read a defense made him never give up on a route.
