Keepers For Bobcats


HeatCheck

Recommended Posts

Looking down the road in 2 years we only have Tyrus, Kemba, Bismack, Henderson, and Mullens as possible on the books players.

Question for everyone is who do you guys feel are "keepers" for Charlotte's team next year?

Tyrus Thomas - Mainly because I don't see a way we could trade him without bringing back an overpaid player. He has talent but his shot has been really off this year.

Bismack Boyombo - Haven't seen anything from him this year that would make me want to give up. He is a young player that needs to develop his post game but great defender.

Reggie Williams - Good shooter and can even handle the ball in situations where a true PG isn't on the court.

Kemba Walker - Has talent but also has some work to do. Needs to work on his decision making and not pounding the rock too much.

Gerald Henderson - Good mid range shooter and defender.

DJ White - Love this player. Not sure why he doesn't get more playing time but it might just be the situation. Has a good shot for 4.

Players who I think we are stuck with:

Carroll

Diop

Maggette

...unless we amnesty one of these guys.

Only 2 tradable players I see are Mullens and Augustin (S&T)

Keepers

Bismack- best player for team, plays hard and wants to get better

hendo- solid starter, would be even better if he wasnt expected to be our best scorer, with a great scoring SF he coud really be something special

kemba- i like him, but he is what i expected, not a true starter, more of a jason terry type. not dissapointed with it s it is needed on a roster

Reggie williams- good shooter off bench.

mullens- good scorer still young, decent backup big.

Kinda's

D.J White- not much of a white fan, but if he came back cheap less than 2mil id keep him around

Tyrus- i just dont know, he shoots too much for me, but i wouldnt let him go without value in return which just isnt going to happen right now

D. Brown- he works hard and is trying to get better everyday and i would say he has, but if he isnt less than 1.5 mil i dont want him. He will never be more than a athlete at the ned of the bench.

gone

DJ- he looks to have given up

diop- never showed up

maggs- when you drive i love your game but you settle for a jumpshot way too much. plus too much money...

with that said i think tyrus will get the amnesty at the end of next yr if no improvement is shown, no point to use it on anyone else since their contracts end in next yr or 2. and we would have around 20mil free this yr to sign a hibbert for 13mil or multiple mid level players.

Tyrus being amnestied, never heard anyone bring that up. I mean it does make sense in a way because he has the longest contract. But you do know if he is amnestied they still have to pay him. So basically we'd be paying him to play elsewhere.

its a popular rumor, because it saves so much money for the cap in future yrs.... just if jordan is willing to pay the contract. i'd like to wait and see about his progress next yr and then make a decision.

The only players that need to be back are Henderson, Bismack, Kemba, Rdub.

Try to trade Augustine and whoever else you can. There are very few pieces to build this team around. But it is something to start with. The biggest improvement will be getting rid of most of our roster and drafting Anthony Davis. Hopefully we can get Kris Joseph or somebody in the second.

i think hendo is at worst a 6th man, he has learned to score with either hand around the rim, and knows when his shot isnt falling and to drive to the lane. he doesnt take a bunch of dumb shots and is always playing great defense with constant effort. besides Biz he is the only other reason i can watch the team right now.

Maggette was such a terrible pickup. He's the glass man, injured when someone sneezes. I think if amensty anyone it'll be Diop, even though he only has a year left, he helps us zero, at least Tyrus can play. Then again, why didn't we dump Diop before this year? Not sure. This team is such a mess, I don't see us having a decent team for 2-3 years.

    • With all the money invested in the offensive line, we really need to hit on some Round 1-3 picks.  We could really use a star receiver or pass rusher on a rookie contract for a few years.
    • I understand everyone being happy but let's try not to turn it into another schoolgirl crush festival. No offense. It isn't slower WRs that cause wild overthrows. They have all kinds of practice. It is his mechanics keeping things under control that allows a more efficient conversion of energy, let's call it, into the throw, that we are seeing.  He was doing it with horrible mechanics and needing to put 100% effort to get the ball that far. That totally fugs your accuracy. There is video of Mahomes and Carr on this site that I have linked with them throwing under control vs all out trying to get the most velocity on a radar gun. It shows exactly what I am saying. I didn't make it up. I have been telling y'all for a year at least. It really is all about the margins with Young and he has to be very attentive to his technique to get the most from what he has. He is doing that now and this is the new 'what he can do'. And this is it, there ain't no more. You decide if that's enough for you I guess. But you are noticing better ball flight and zip I am pretty sure, it comes from there. Again go look at the Buffalo drive in preseason and you will see that same thing you see lately. To do that stuff you have to be willing to stand tall come what may, sometimes. Hopefully you have protection to step up safely but the difference making happens when you stand in there and finish just ahead of a hit.  ..... And btw, the straw that broke the camel's back when Tepper fired Reich, was because he couldn't fix it in a week. One of the last issues that I remember was about Young's footwork. You know, I guess it is normal that 10 weeks into the season someone just realized, or finally accepted, that Young had major fundamentals issues. It took them a lot longer to realize it isn't an overnight fix. And my issues with Young were specifically over this stuff. Major rehab job, you don't pay what we paid for that. Hopefully he is 'fixed' and it 'took' and he doesn't go back into his little safe space of the old mechanics like he did week 1. If he hangs with the new, this is what you are working wth now. We just saw his ceiling. 
    • i'm not nearly 100%, but i'm trending that way. He's definitely got me around 75%.
