One day I think this team is tanking the next day I think we are trying to make the playoffs, so I wanted to propose an idea. if we want to win why not try this lineup

 

Cody Zeller PF

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist SF

Al Jefferson C

Kemba Walker PG

Gerald Henderson SG

with CDR and Tolliver getting big bench minutes

 

 

McRoberts averages 7 Points, 5 Rebounds playing 32 minutes a game, if Zeller got those minutes he would average roughly 11 points, 11 rebounds, 1.3 blocks

 

McBob is the problem here.

i have said this for a while now. McBob is not the gem anymore- he is the washout has-been he was on the Lakers, Magic and Pacers

I've wanted McBob replaced before we even drafted Zeller. I admit I thought Zeller would be a bust when we picked him.. Hell he still might be.. The kid is only getting better and he needs that starting role. He can't be worse than McBob.

What team draft a player with the no4 overall pick to just sit his ass on the bench? Only the Bobcats.

I'm so ready for a name change. I think the Hornets would really help solve this bad luck of the Cats.

The 1st and 3rd picks also come off the bench. Hell, they hardly play. Porter played 1 minute tonight as the Wizards beat the Heat, while Bennett has yet to check in vs. the Blazers at the half.

I get that.

 

Im just saying, MKG (2nd) and Zeller (rookie) were not going to win the game for us. Also, if we have to rely on them that just proves how bad this team really is.

Go play for the future and we will be surprised how much better of a team we would be.

 

Kemba

Henderson

MKG

Zeller

Jefferson

 

Sessions, CDR, Tolliver, McBob, Biyombo off the bench.  

 

Not exactly different than what we are doing now, but just more minutes for MKG and Zeller.

I say start Zeller, give him some valuable experience.  7 footers are hard to come by, at least those that don't trip over their two left feet.  I forget the article, but it said there's something like less than a hundred seven footers in the country and half of them are in the NBA.

      Shaq Thompson to Enter Free Agency

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I think he is being looked at primarily as an edge, but I would use him like you suggest.  His rating as a defensive player is very high, but if you take only the plays where he was an edge rusher, there are several who are better.  Shaq (remember he was at Washington and they were on the quarter system when we drafted him, so he missed a lot of the OTAs) We went to the OTA (used to go to 1 per year) that was his first day in Panther gear.  I am 6'1" but was listed as 6'2" as a player, so I get the nudging.  However, he came up to my kids to sign their mini helmets and he was probably maybe 6 feet tall and weighed about 210-15.  He looked like a DB.  His frame is not thick; I am guessing it was tough to keep his weight at 225. Wear and tear.  When the panthers have been successful, they have had a slobber knocker in the middle.  We don't have that player now.

      Is everyone looking at Walker as an ILB? I was viewing him as an outside guy, moving around and trying to get into the backfield.

      There are some teams absolutely boxed in on bad qb contracts

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Waldo makes a good point about Atlanta, but I wonder if they did not create a self-inflicted wound.  Signing Cousins to a four-year deal in March, 2024 at $180m ($90m guaranteed) means that the Falcons, if you include Penix Jr, will have nearly $70m in cap space at QB in 2025. I am not confident either QB is good enough to win the South, NFC, or Super Bowl, so it is as if they did this to themselves.  By drafting a QB in the first behind your $100m veteran, you created a situation that would force a move if Cousins faltered, instead of letting him play through it.  If Cousins struggles and you don't put Penix in, then the fans question the decision to draft a 24-year old QB who can't take over at the end of his rookie season.  However, drafting a first round QB a few weeks after signing an established QB to a long contract with nearly $100m guaranteed is in itself a head scratcher because Cousins sighed a deal that indicates a trust in his ability.  So it was not only financially questionable, it was emotionally questionable.  It cast doubt not only on Cousins, but on the entire front office.
