Sessions Signs 2yr/12.5M Deal to Return to Charlotte

If we could find a way to get Bogut or one of the other available bigs in a trade without mortgaging the future we should be in a position to compete for 2nd in the east. We were one of the best teams in the NBA at home last year, get MKG healthy and Batum and Kemba more comfortable with each other and no reason we can't be one of the best teams in the NBA period. I mean we have brought almost everyone back, we swapped Lin for Sessions(small downgrade) Lee for a hopefully healthy MKG(potentially huge upgrade) added Bellini(meh) and we lost Al. All in all not a bad offseason.

Without a center we will probably be right outside the playoffs. It is a very important position in the NBA.

Bogut is being dealt to the Mavs I believe. Cho will need to find someone else to trade for

We are the exact same at center as last year this year minus Al who missed what half the year? So I don't see how we suddenly get so much worse, especially considering MKG will be back healthy(all indications I've seen point to him being recovered by the start of the year). Ideally we find someway to get another viable big man in the fold but even if we don't I think we will be fine(in terms of making the playoffs, I don't see us winning a championship regardless of what we do).

Famous saying for the NBA if you are not getting better you are getting worse. Many teams in the east made moves to position themselves into the playoffs. We have one possible upgrade and that is a healthy MKG. If roll with Zeller at center it will come back to haunt us as he is not a true NBA center. He is a good back up PF and can play center in spurts here and there but that is it. It is a major hole on this team and one that the Miami Heat exploited in their series with us.

after doing some more research i see Sessions is a bargain (contract worth and stat-wise) compared to Lin.. their numbers were very comparable:

Jeremy Lin - 12 ppg - 3 apg - 3 rpg = 3yrs $36mil
R. Sessions - 10 ppg - 3 apg - 2.5 rpg = 2 yrs 12.5mil

after looking at that I am pretty happy..

now after Marvin was signed, they said we had about a lil over $10 mil in cap space.. minus $6.25 for Sessions, that leaves us around $3.75 mil.. not enough for a big time player but if we are able to trade Lamb or Hawes or even Zeller.. OR maybe Jordan needs to make an executive move and go into the luxury tax.. i doubt he will do though.. im still holding out hope for Vucevic or Monroe.. there are rumors of Diaw being avaiable to make room for Gasol in San Antonio - i can see Cho trading for him and all of us committing suicide at once.. lol

Yeah, i like Sessions, i'm just very familiar with his limitations.

He also didn't have nearly good a roster around him the first time around.

Ready for the moratorium to be over with so we can move pieces around.

we will have enough next year for a max type player 

 

obviously the big fish is Curry come home 

 

there are some more guys just need to see how this team plays this season

 

remember weve given Gordon Hayward a max deal once already once but i doubt we would go after him with batum taking his spot currently

    • This was a good breakdown from Daniels.  Last year has had a lasting impact on Young. He still isn't getting the time needed from the OL - the OL we have is made to establish the run and for the run to be in play.  We get behind and have to throw all game we are doomed with this O-line. His receivers have to catch the ball when he makes a good throw to them, he can't have them dropping his good passes. Why are we running 4 slants all toward the same direction?  Why a triple option on 4th and 1? That's on the coaches. Bryce gets hurried and starts slinging the ball where it shouldn't be thrown, more study and recognition from him are needed.  Bryce doesn't step up in the pocket and throws too soon and unbalanced.  He over and under throws the ball because of it.  That's on him.  If the pocket isn't there and he can't get his base set he needs to check down or "live to fight another day." He has been thrown to the wolves and has lost his confidence.  This team doesn't have much, if any, talent and it's a cluster.  I think he can still be an NFL QB.  Maybe not a QB1 in the short term, but if he has a chance with better coaching and personnel he may be better than we are giving him credit for. I think we ruined him last year and have not fixed anything to help him this year.  If we can't run or get way behind all NFL defenses are coming after him.  Dalton has more respect and defenses didn't always sell out to get to him because he'd hit a quick slant, screen, or check down because he has the experience to know what's coming and what to do. Just my 2 cents.
    • All depends on who the backup is. Josh Allen probably would have been benched too if there were better backups than Matt Barkley and Nate peterman.
    • Where did I once say we should draft him because he's a projected Top 5 pick?   That's one of my many problems with you, your reading comprehension skills are very poor (and/or you just don't care to use your brain, one of the two).  I solely used that to point out that me pushing T-Mac isn't some absurd homerism, that at least I'm pushing someone who is deserving of a Top 5 draft pick. And despite me explaining it to you numerous times, you still seem to not grasp how QB's get placed in mock drafts vs draft grades.  They are treated entirely different in mock drafts to any other position, because of how teams generally treat them in the draft because of how important the position is. Literally any other position except QB, mock drafts generally follow draft grades with some team needs factored in.  But with QB's, draft grades are generally disregarded and they ALWAYS put a few QB's at the very top of the draft, because that's just usually what happens.  The exact same thing happened in 2022 with guys like Pickett and Willis widely being Top 10 picks in mock drafts, only for Pickett to fall to what, around 20?, and Willis going in the 2nd round (and even being the 3rd QB if I remember correctly too). The overwhelming majority of draft experts are saying there isn't a high first round grade on these QB's, but they still get mocked there because they're trying to predict how the draft will actually go. That's been my point the entire time, reaching for a QB in a bad QB draft when you have a roster as depleted of talent as ours, does not tend to work out well. And I've never said I'm not open to other players, I've very explicitly said that if a QB or DE stands out come draft time, I'm open to that discussion.  That I'd be open to Hunter as a CB but I prefer a WR over a CB at the top of the draft.  But we're also not talking about the 15th pick here where there could realistically be all sorts of possible picks to discuss.  With the first pick, there really would only be a small handful of options, T-Mac is head and shoulders above any other given our current roster and state of the franchise in general.
