This is exactly what the fans want to hear "we were really close to deals..." 

 

Which makes me believe we weren't in fact close to any deals. 

 

Tbh the only person we were linked to that I wanted was Beal and we weren't stealing him from the wizards. Maybe this summer they will blow it up

This whole trade dead line went well IMO.  We couldn’t off load Biz or Batum so we stand pat for now.  We just could not give up the future (which IMO is bright) to off load contracts from the previous GM.  I think Kup did his best.  He isn’t a dummy so we just need patience.

BTW: the team around Kemba is in the playoffs this year at the moment.  Anyone shooting for Golden State level needs to take their Zoloft.

Jeez it’s like NBA champs or you suck around here.  There is an in between here...certainly for now.

That whole Gasol thing was as much about offloading Biz as anything else.  But unprotected first rounder...that is a stretch when you want MKG as well.  Totally bet they wanted the draft after nexts pick too.  Fug that.

the more time goes by the better i am with not doing anything - IF - we are able to do something in the summer..

Marvin's and Biz's contract become assets next year.. same with MKG's after he opts in - which he most certainly will..

but for right now - i am angry and pissed.. years upon years upon years we have been waiting.. reminds me of Panthers and Smith's prime years..

We're going nowhere for a long time.  For anyone thinking that Monk and/or Bridges are going to lead this team somewhere in the near future, you're kidding yourself.  Once Kemba is gone, this team is a bottom feeder at very best if we don't hit on some legitimate talent in the draft.  Good players are going to try and join a "super team" for pennies on the dollar, and we're going to have to hand out max contracts to the Nic Batum's of the league.  It's not pretty.

Truth is, we're kinda screwed whether Kemba leaves or stays. If he leaves, there's not enough talent on this roster to win 20 games.

If we sign him to a max deal (or close to it), we're not gonna have enough money to put a decent team around him until all of these terrible contracts expire.

Kupchak has a large hole to dig out of, and it will take a while.

I never wanted them to give up Any of Monk, Bridges, Or a 1st in this trade deadline.

I just wish we couldve offloaded something.

Either traded someone a 2nd straight up for Biz, similar to us doing it with a player from the Hawks a few seasons back

Or Frank and even package Lamb for a 2nd then go after a Ellington to sign

 

But for this fan bases sake.  We better hope like heck Kemba stays.  I think next year wont be much better than this.  But 2 years from now when start to take some of the Cho Shackles off with some of these bad contracts, we could be something

I agree on Frank...he kinda lost here as he won’t see much playing time.  He doesn’t fit us all that well but still a decent player.  Feel kinda bad for Frank.

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      KC has a very good defense this year. It is 5th overall. Yes, still worse than last year, but their offense is considerably worse. Their passing D may be their "weakness" but they still allow fewer than 20 ppg. BY completed several deep passes yesterday, and he was able to threaten downfield in ways he didn't seem capable of before the benching. I'm not necessarily worried about his ability to connect deep anymore. What to me was impressive was that he did all this without a run game. We used the pass to set up what little running success we had. Wild.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Solid and fair assessment.   I will say, one of the big things I noticed yesterday was that he wasn't shy to step up into the pocket in the face of pressure.  He's trusting the IOL.  And they took care of Chris Jones yesterday.  We had clean pockets but also good success rate vs. pressure which just hasn't been the case with Bryce.   If he has more confidence the OL gets it done and he can navigate and step up for throws, that's huge.  It's one of the biggest things that's held him back.  He was previously bailing quickly and just too easily throwing away or making dead plays.     He was finding his 2nd to 3rd reads within structure/without bailing in the pocket.  That was nice to see, as much concern I have with him.  And the overall limitations will always be there. Time to back it up this week against the Bucs.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Suddenly the Cowgirls look like our best chance for a win remaining. I think the Bucs are playing better than the Falcons of late.  Our lone game versus the dirty birds is in the ATL where we always struggle.  The Cardinals are marginally better than I thought they would be. We are not beating the Eagles, they are starting to roll. I'm saying two at most, next week at home versus the Bucs and the Cowgirls.
