Scoring.  That's what we need.

 

All we really have to offer is BG's 13 Mil expiring and fodder.  What are we going to get for that?

JR's value is down because the Knicks are a trainwreck and he's an idiot.  BUT, he can play ball and he can score with anybody.

It's primetime to strike a deal.

 

Who's in Charlotte wants and "IDIOT"?????

 

NOBODY!!!!!

 

 

 

MJ already has a reputation of making bad moves through out his time in Charlotte. Imagine MJ making this move for Smith. He'd be right back on top in the media.

Well, like I said, what other options are there for what we have to offer.  Smith is a huge upgrade in talent, even if he is an idiot.

Before this shoelace crap, over the summer when he was brought up, it was almost unanimous that everyone here wanted him, and we apparently did show interest but he re-signed with the Knicks.

 

I think the crap he's doing now is on purpose so he can force his way out of New York without asking for it.

 

He could give us the scoring we need to possibly push us up into a 4th seed if all plays out well.  I mean, they've basically come out and said they're playing for a playoff spot.  He's on a short-term deal, he can score, we're not gonna get much better, and he'd help us RIGHT NOW.

Not true. If I'm correct, only CP8789 wanted Smith in town.

 

Hendo has been playing well. Theres no need to be desperate for Smith.

I'm absolutely sure there were more "yeas" than "nays" on Smith, Chuck. 

It's not being desperate.  Like I said, I don't see how we could get a more talented player than Smith unless we threw in a bunch of other things that most people here would be unhappy about.  Maybe Afflalo?  But, he's not a natural scorer.  He's like what everyone hopes Hendo would be.

 

But, I just don't see doing much better than Smith for what we need.  IMO, I appreciate what Hendo has done, but he's part of the problem here.

Nope. Im pretty sure there were more nays than yays.

 

If MJ/Cho decides to go after Smith, this would proves just how dumb who's controlling this team.

None. Just go with who we already have.

 

They've said with this BG rumor and all the other moves that they're committed to winning and getting in the playoffs this season.

 

If this team makes it, we are getting swept as an 8th seed.

A move has to be made.

also, went back and found the second or third JR Smith thread from the offseason after it actually was reported that we were pursuing him...  through the first page, there was only about one reply that leaned towards not getting him.  Most all of them questioned what we would be like defensively, but stated that we would be great offensively...  Almost all favorable and affirmative responses to getting him, and among them was this reply:

 


At 10 mil, I easily take JR over Hendo. Only Bobcats fans would think that Hendo is worth that money. I just don't know what direction this team is leaning toward with the possible signing of Big Al and now courting JR. You can't tell me that with those two additions we're not going to be a Playoffs team this upcoming season. From thinking that we could have "3" 1st rounders next year to potentially having "none" (Chicago, Top10 protected: TNT).

not at 10 mil tho.

 

and I might've said some things I really didnt mean.

And, to end this discussion, just quit it already. NO to J.R.

The only J.R. I want in Charlotte is already in Charlotte: Jerry Richardson!

We'll have to agree to disagree then chuck.

 

I think most people just don't want to fully invest in the idea of purposely trying to win this year.

 

I am still on that boat. 

 

This is the last year I wanted to tank. 

 

I felt like this draft was apart of the plan all along.  

 

Seemes like we lost our patience.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      I just tried a few mock draft simulators and this is the only way lol. Nothing else makes sense.

      No, biggest weakness is pass rush, but I don't think there is a blue chip can't miss DE prospect to take at #1 this year, same as with QB.  But beyond that, moving forward, yea WR is a pretty damn big weakness. We have 1 game this season over 224 yards passing and just traded away our best WR (who wasn't going to re-sign here anyways).  That WR no longer on the team was also the only player we've had this year who had over 78 yards receiving in a game.  So again, yea, WR is one of our biggest weaknesses even right now, let alone moving into the future. As I just said in my other post, I love Legette, but he's not going to be a Top 5-10 WR type of guy, Top 15-20 I can see, I think he can be a good #1 WR or an elite #2. After that, what do we have for the future?  Thielen isn't part of it, sure as hell isn't going to be Mingo, and as much as we all like Coker, in no world is Coker as our #2 to Legette as the #1 going be considered as "having weapons" at WR, even with Brooks and Sanders. But put someone like T-Mac into that group, who I genuinely think is going to be a Top 5 WR in this league for a long time, and it changes things.  A Top 5 WR with Legette/Coker as the 2/3, along with Brooks and Sanders, has the potential to be one of the best set of offensive weapons in the league if they reach their potential.

      At this range currently he’s probably a day 3 pick, but I think he will rise to day 2.
