I think it's pretty disturbing that our biggest signing on the court from this past offseason was Roberts - Kemba's backup, and now we're trying to trade for a borderline starter instead of giving the job to Roberts?

This really makes me wonder what is going on in Cho's head? If you believed enough in Roberts to sign him in the first place, why are you already looking to replace him with an upgrade? Combine that move with Lance, and apparently advanced stat geeks have no fuging idea how to build a basketball team.

 

This is about finding a backup for the remainder of the season for Roberts.  We aren't trading for a starter.  But if another PG isn't brought in, then either Lance or Pargo is playing PG with the reserves.

I know we have to find someone for depth, but I don't think k this is about depth, otherwise, they would be signing some d league guy to a 10-day and not looking for a trade.

I also think it's arguable that Sessions and Cole are both better than Roberts. It seems like an upgrade to me.

yeah.. i didn't like how the Pelicans fans were happy to see Roberts leave last year.. and how our Front Office was touting the fact that he was a +90% FT shooter.. hmm, great? i dont even remember him getting to the line for and clutch FTs this year, do you?

 

Well, he isn't in the game in clutch time, so that's not going to happen.

I read Pablo Prigioni could be had for a second round pick. Bleacher report has us trading Gary Neal and a 2015 round pick for Pablo Prigioni.

Now I bet a lot of you are wondering who the hell this guy is so I will tell you. He is a 35 year old pg that played mostly overseas until recently. Now that we need to rent a pg until Kemba comes back why not try to get a player that can help fix our shooting problems? Pablo is shooting 45% on his 3 pointers and has a career 41% 3 point shooting percentage. He also is averaging 6.1 assist per 36 minutes. So why not get this guy who can help our 3 point % improve?

To me he is better than Norris Cole and probably cheaper than sessions.

      Exactly the type of thing he would have done here. The excuse people were stannin’ so hard claiming he would have looked just as bad. Just not true.

      It's not just the Panthers... the NFL sucks at developing young QBs "it's a systemic problem"

      Yes and there aren't 32 starting QBs in the league either. Too many teams and too many games. The NFL has regressed over the years and game quality is lacking. The other leagues are supposed to be farm leagues but it doesn't matter. You just won't have 32 no matter what they do. The move to super athletes playing QB at all levels has lead to this. It used to be those guys played other positions but now they are QBs who can't really QB.  It has a trickle down effect too. OL can't block because they never had to. The fact that in today's game your QB must be able to run at least a little to survive is evidence of this as well. IMO they have ruined the game same as with the NBA. It's been simplified to the point of being boring.  Just look at the top 10 this season. Patrick Mahomes (Chiefs) Joe Burrow (Bengals) Josh Allen (Bills) Lamar Jackson (Ravens) Dak Prescott (Cowboys) Jalen Hurts (Eagles) Brock Purdy (49ers) Jordan Love (Packers) Justin Herbert (Chargers) Matthew Stafford (Rams) Once we get to number 5 the stats look like this: 167 262 1,845 63.7 7.0 10 8 65 18 84.5   47.5   10 TDs and 8 INTs??? At number 5??? There was a time not that long ago that he wouldn't even be a starter.

      I'm not convinced that the NFL is any better or worse at developing QBs now than they were 20 years ago.  I mean I'm sure there are some developmental issues at play, just not sure it is any different than it has been. The biggest difference IMO is that NFL teams are waaaaaaaay more willing to invest a 1st round pick into a QB now than they were 15-20 years ago.  A guy like Colin Kaepernick would probably be a top 5 pick in 2025, whereas he went in the 2nd in 2011.  Would a guy like Trey Lance go top 3 in 2010?  Hell no.  Look at Russell Wilson - he didn't go until the 3rd round.  The standard for being a 1st round QB has dropped. So it may seem like we're seeing more high-profile busts at the position, but we're also seeing teams reach for QBs way more than they have in the past.  Someone with Anthony Richardson's college resume doesn't go in the top 3 20 years ago.
