Bye Bye, '11-'12 season

As much as I enjoy watching the Bobcats, and to some extent the NBA as a whole, the powers that be of the NBA may soon learn that there is not much clamoring for their product. If they have to tear the whole thing down in order to rebuild a more practical economic structure, I'm all for it. I personally won't be devastated by a missed season.

Besides, college hoops is the ticket anyway.

I think you have a very valid point Chaos... the NBA isn't the NFL... the NFL could have missed a season and it would have hurt them, but no that much... the fanbase is huge.

The NBA sucks... College Basketball is very popular... a lot of people may decide they don't miss it. I for one won't miss it a bit.

BTW, I just glanced at the Bobcats roster because I haven't thought about it lately. Absolute garbage. We don't have 1 player on our team who would be a starter on a championship caliber team. Not 1. Maybe I won't miss this season after all.

Well, not to try to sound like an ass, but we were not going to make the playoffs with the team we have now, so I aint mad.

I 100% back what MJ is doing. So therefore I back the Owners. Charlotte will never be a contender if we cant bring in and afford the talent.

Its a shame this is happening, but there are going to be alot of players not getting a paycheck this year who will be pretty pissed!

With the season done, a lot of players who were expecting to have re-signed with their teams by now will be free agents next summer (assuming a new CBA is in place by then). The entire free agent class looks huge plus it includes this past summers free agents who never got a chance to sign. It is quite a list including (but not limited to):

Dwight Howard *

Chris Paul *

Derrick Rose

Kevin Love

Brook Lopez

Steve Nash

Tim Duncan

Nicolas Batum

Jamal Crawford

Kevin Garnett

Russell Westbrook

Chauncey Billups

Nene

Jason Terry

Antawn Jamison

Kirk Hinrich

Ray Allen

Jeff Green

Tayshaun Prince

Roy Hibbert

Chris Kaman

O.J. Mayo

Marc Gasol

JaVale McGee

Shane Battier

Michael Beasley

Jason Kidd

Tyson Chandler

Caron Butler

Andre Miller

Danilo Gallinari

D.J. Augustin

David West

Elton Brand *

Vince Carter

Grant Hill

Raymond Felton

Marcus Camby

Greg Oden

Samuel Dalembert

Antonio McDyess

* Would have to opt out of their final year which is highly likely.

    • 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.
