So we basically walked away from last year's freeagency with Batum, Marvin and Dwight fuging Howard

 

God damn cho, I give you poo all the time, but he just saved his career.

Charlotte finally got the semi hot chick in class

Fantastic trade.   In my opinion, with a few other moves, this gets us back into the playoffs and a fun team to watch.   I think Howard will be a bigger scorer here for us than previous years as well, especially with Clifford.

I think at a minimum you have to give the Hornets an A- grade for this deal.  It gets that grade for getting rid of Plumlee's contract alone.  Getting Howard and moving up in the 2nd round is just icing on the cake imo. (maybe more than just icing with Clifford's experience with Howard and our defensive philosophy, tempering expectations, but we'll see)

On the other hand, ATL gets a D at best.  Keeps being reported that this was a salary cap dump for the Hawks.......but they are taking on Plumlee's contract?  What am I missing here?  Actually, who cares, it's Atlanta, haha

I see ya Cho!

I don't know how anybody can see this as a negative: 

1. GOT RID OF PLUMLEE!!!!!!

2. Moved up 10 spots in the 2nd round

3. Marco played well at times, but is replaceable. 

4. Got a decent rotational player who can play the defensive end. 

Good job Cho!

Now for the draft, I really want to find a way to get Monk. I know he is a small 2 guard but I want his shooting. I am still not 100% sold on Kennard, would probably prefer Mitchell.

If it's a salary dump, it's the dumbest salary dump ever.  Combined we'll spend 48 mill, while the Hawks spend 46.  It's stupid.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      PFF made it up just to make Bryce look better. Crazy right? Also I can’t believe you said he played “better.” Careful and you might let a compliment slip…. (kidding)

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By Icege · Posted

      re: PFF having Bryce Young as the best deep passer in week 12 Link to original article Excerpt from the article: PFF's passing-by-depth report for week 12 NFL Pro's Film Room Play 1 - Completion to XL running a deep crosser despite multiple penalties by KC on the play Film Room Playlist NFL Pro.mp4 Play 2 - Completion to JT with the pass rush closing in Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Play 3 - Hits David Moore in the hands while taking a shot from new Panthers' DL Ter'shawn Wharton for what would've been a TD Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-02.mp4 Play 4 - This is the first play that folks could attempt to pin on Bryce if not for one detail... this was 3rd & 10 with 9sec left in Q2 (as seen in the screenshot showing the list of plays). Bryce had to air mail it out of the back of the end zone so that there was still time to attempt a field goal before halftime. Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-03.mp4 Play 5 - Bryce places this ball where only David Moore can get it (spoiler: Moore does not get it). I've included the other angle as I was confident that some would try to hyperfocus on this play as why PFF was wrong in their evaluation. Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-04.mp4   Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-05.mp4 Play 6 - Sideline shot to XL but he drops it. Again, both angles included to avoid bad faith misrepresentation. Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-06.mp4   Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-07.mp4
