I don't know either.

Might need a major culture change like what happened after 2010 when Cam Newton was drafted. Mediocrity is almost acceptable.

I've been thinking  the same thing

I can remember Cam talking about changing the losing mentality in Carolina when he was drafted. But have to admit he's had help.

U right...unfortunately, we'd have to overpay for Batum and I would rather have Whiteside, period. Howard would be a disaster here.

I'd rather have broken down Howard as a reclamation project (Jefferson, McBob, Marvin, Lin, etc.) than Whiteside, who has Lance Stephenson written all over him outside of Miami.

But, that team needed a total overhaul starting with Cam.  This team has a few solid pieces, and Kemba has been a winner his whole life...  he still is, but he needs a team around him that are also winners.  And as I said before, you win over time with stars.  Kemba is a lower-tier star, we need to find a way to bring in one bigger than him to help.  Problem is, making it to the playoffs and knocked out in the first round and drafting horribly isn't the way to do it.

Howard is linked here already as a landing spot because it makes so much sense.

 

Clifford in Orlando 

Lin from Houston

 

Howard respects Clifford and is friends with Lin. It would also put Howard back in a defensive system that he knows well from his Orlando days. 

 

 

However, Lin is also expected to opt out of his contract and look for more money. You have Batum who will be a max player and Howard would definitely be a max player....so it would be very expensive.

You mean the favorited team who had the same record as us and split the season series with us. The same team we beat 3 times in a row. NBA is a set up and that is my opinion but saying the heat were huge favorites makes no sense outside of media pundits who beat the drums for big markets. NBA has the least amount of parity of any sport hands down and it is getting worse. My last comments on this league time to enjoy summer at the beaches.

ironic that you say this on a football board considering the AFC champs since like 2003 have been QB'd by only 4 QB's (Brady, Manning, Roethlisberger, Flacco)

Letting Biz walk was a bigger mistake than we made it out to be and it shows against big, athletic centers.

Yup.  I said this along with a few others when we let him walk that it was stupid.  He got paid peanuts too.  We really failed.  Would it have helped us win this?  Idk, but I know Biz would have gotten under Whiteside's skin and probably messed him up in the head.  Also, they wouldn't be getting free buckets in the paint against us.

Since 1988:

Detroit Pistons (3)
Chicago Bulls (6)
Houston Rockets (2)
San Antonio Spurs (5)
Los Angeles Lakers (5)
Miami Heat (3)
Boston Celtics
Dallas Mavericks
Golden State Warriors

That's every team to have won a championship in the NBA since the Hornets began play. That's 9 teams. There have been 13 NFL champions since the Panthers began play, and that's 7 fewer seasons. The NBA has 3 teams that account for 16 Championships since 1991. There is far more parody in the NFL than the NBA.

Including two Bulls 3 peats and a Lakers 3 peat skews that statistic a lot worse. 2003-present there have been 10 different NFL champs, 8 different NBA champs, 8 different MLB champs, 9 different NHL champs.

The way NBA playoffs (and best of 7 series in any sport) work are conducive to the same few dominant teams winning every year. NFL would be similar if it wasn't single elimination.

Not sure the Hornets will ever make this list unless we luck into a Stephen Curry or Tim Duncan.

...and Flacco only once.  The other three have twelve of thirteen

      We finally get to see Brooks this week

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I mean.....his guy has to be someone willing to come so Geno Smith is out. If you mean RUSSELL Wilson, that is laughable. Fields and ZACH Wilson are just basically the beginning of the end. These aren't likely to be Geno Smith turnarounds. Fields is further proving that he just isn't much more than a gimmick player. Zach Wilson still probably needs a year or two under some better circumstances before I would consider him a candidate for being a turnaround. He is just jumping straight back into the NY Jets fire here.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      This is factually incorrect. He was a two time Pro Bowler with the Rams and in fact statistically he was better with the Rams in his best season there than he has been with the Lions(could change with this season). Some of his per game stats have creeped into being marginally better with the Lions but there have not been dramatic differences in his play, actually. The biggest reason that McVay and he ended up splitting was McVay didn't think he could win a title with Goff. TBH.....so far he was 100% correct. Stafford almost immediately won them a SB and Goff in a historic run was about 70% of the reason the Lions faltered in the NFC championship game. He missed critical throws all over the first half and throughout the second half that he normally wouldn't. He choked. So, until Goff actually does win a SB...McVay has been right.

      they have the best defense they've had in a long time...probably the best in the reid/mahommes era.  but i think they are probably the most beatable they've been in a while as well. record doesn't exactly bear that out, but they just don't look as strong on offense as they usually do. lots of reasons for that, like trying to build chemistry with newer receivers, but right now they just aren't as frightening as they typically are. i mean they'll probably win tomorrow, but i don't see them as the strongest team in the AFC right now.
