the current ex-bobcats team - how many wins?

Post #1 » by **fatlever** » Sun Feb 3, 2013 4:32 pm

how many wins could a current team made up of ex-bobcats win this season?

the team (did i miss anyone worthy of making the team?)
pg: felton I augustin I temple
sg: dudley I richardson I s brown
sf: wallace I jackson I anderson
pf: okafor I cunningham I hollins
c: chandler I diaw I k brown

defensively this team would be fantastic with lots of experienced vets who know how to defend and have been above average defenders at their position for many years.

i could also see starting cunningham to provide a mid-range shooter to space the floor and moving okafor to the backup center spot with diaw moving to backup pf.

rebounding would also be a major plus.

team lacks a true go to scorer, so the scoring would have to be a balanced effort with felton, dudley and wallace probably leading the way.

depth is a plus.

good role players on the bench in cunningham, anderson, hollins to pair with scoring vets like jackson and augustin and shannon brown.

i'm thinking this team could get 45 wins purely off defense, rebounding, depth and experience

for all his flaws, jason richardson could be a dependable scorer during his time with the bobcats.

Using ESPN's Trade Machine and replacing our starting lineup with the ex-Bobcats starting lineup that you have above according to John Hollinger's analysis would only add 4 wins to our current 11-35 record.

...so 15-31 :-?

i forgot about jrich, add him over cartier martin and move shannon brown to 3rd string.

I'd start Jack at the two and move Dudley to the backup 3, then start Diaw at the 4 and move Dante/Okafor to the backup spots.

Felton/Augustin/Temple
Jackson/Richardson/Brown
Crash/Dudley/Anderson
Diaw/Cunningham/Hollins
Chandler/Okafor/Kwame

Total salary: $79,057,216

That'd be the 7th highest salary in the league

swedd - thoughts on why you'd start jack over dudley? dudley appears to be the superior player at this point in their careers. jax is fading fast, dudley at his peak.

80mil for a 6-10 seed team. and THATS why we blew it up folks.

On a team with his buddies Felton and Crash, you'd give him the start based simply off their chemistry. He wouldn't have to be the 36+ minute guy he was for us before, but he'd get the start. I'd have him play the first 8 minutes or so, then have Dudley be the first wing off the bench with 25-28 minutes while Jack/Brown/Richardson swap around the remaining available minutes depending on matchups.

Pretty sure I'd take a retired Brevin Knight over Garrett Temple.

This was my lineup but I was thinking of the players when they played for us.
I loved the Jax/Crash wing combo, they were so tough.

Jax probably gives you the shot creation that you need. I think if we said we wanted him to start and be the man, he would get into his old shape. He wasn't afraid of work.

Replace Temple with Livingston and replace Hollins with Diaw and put Brezec as 2nd Center, and too bad Hermann didn't make this list.....

not players from when they were here, players as of today. herrmann and brezec are put of the league. if that was the case my team would look much different. herrmann, brezec and knight would all make the team for sure.

What about the late-season 2011-12 Bobcats against this lineup:

C: Alexis Ajinca/Ryan Hollins
PF: Dante Cunningham/Sean May/Bernard Robinson
SF: Vladimir Radmanovic/Adam Morrison/Juwan Howard
SG: Kareem Rush/Shannon Brown
PG: Jeff McInnis/Sean Singletary

Who wins?
