Okafor vs Chandler so far

Recommended Posts

Long term this was a great deal. That summer when we gave Okafor that deal he was the best in the pool of players. Was he worth the money?.... NO. Did he play up to his contract? .... NO. Is he worth the money now? (given those stats that are above) NO. He was the best of the worst for that summer so, instead of not signing anyone you keep what you have and pretend that your happy. With that being said, Chandler is nowhere close to living up to his contract. Both players are C level players getting B+-A level money and, they both are not worth the money. The big difference is the length of those contracts. After this year Okafor has 4 years left on his contract..... thats 4 years of overpaid average basketball. Chandler has until the end of this year and an option to come back next year. I cant see Chandler wanting to comeback next year to play for this team.

So now what? This summer you a have a pocket full of money in one of the deepest Free Agent pools in NBA history..... Lebron, Wade, Bosh, McGrady, Dirk, Joe Johnson, Ming, Amare, Ray Allen, Brandon Roy, LaMarcus Aldridge, Boozer, Camby, Rudy Gay just to name a few. We have a good chance at signing any of them outside of Wade, Lebron, or Roy.

At the end of the day this was still a good trade.

He would leave almost 13 million on the table if he did that and based on his injury history plus his poor stats for this season, any new contract he gets wouldn't be more much more than 2-4 million per year and probably no more than 2 years.

This upcomming FA class is so overloaded in both quality and quantity that he may have a hard time finding a team willing to take a risk on him.

They are two different players. Chandler fits us better and he hasn't been 100% Mekas numbers have been better but i still like Chandler better for this team if we can get him on the court. Meka just never felt right for this team just like Jason Richardson didn't either.

    • NFL Pro has the All-22 up already 😄 Going to grab a play or two from each redzone series to put screenshots to. Looks like AT angled his route off to the near pylon rather than the back corner where Bryce was throwing to. I imagine this is something they'll quickly try to figure out with Thielen back from IR. After watching the All-22 again, this was actually a pretty nifty play. I thought it was a TE screen to Tremble because of the way XL charged the DB, but he quickly shed and kept upfield as seen in the second screenshot. This looks like it had multiple layers built into it with AT running the crosser, XL the fade, Tremble to the flat. The progression would call for the play to go to Chuba here as the LB does follow Tremble out into the flat. Ball hits Chuba low and in the hands, but the LB does a good job disrupting the catch.
    • The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.
    • Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
