Trolliver: The Anthony Tolliver Thread

Snidely FC · Post #61 » by **Snidely FC** » Fri Jul 4, 2014 12:55 am

Tolliver is obviously out the door, and it's a shame imo. One of the problems with the NBA is guys like this get no respect. He was playing great ball for us last year, then the powers that be decided to bring in Neal. I loved watching AT last year. Thanks for the memories.

The most telling stat of Tolliver’s positive impact is the fact that when he is on the floor the Bobcats are +2.8 points better per 100 possessions. That means whenever he is on the floor the team is better by nearly 3 points. Three points is valuable in this league and unless you have been watching him all year you won’t really understand what he means to the Bobcats. Tru School Sports

ugh... why are you saying that? is it because of the extra wing we drafted? I guess you're right.

Well, they basically said don't let the door hit you when Neal came in, but I posted the above mostly because of this interview I just listened to where he talks like he will be elsewhere . . .

Tolliver said the list of teams showing interest in signing him changes daily, but he has a list of players he'd like to work with.
"I'd love to play with Steph Curry. I’d love to play with Chris Paul. Different point guards that are really, really good at distributing and really, really good at getting the ball to their open shooters."

I'd love to see him play with either Curry or Paul, hitting threes for the Dubs or Clips in meaningful playoff games. He really is the ultimate professional and deserves his shine in the limelight after making it into the league through the D-League and then playing for minimum salaries not ever knowing whether he'll even hit the court the next few weeks and being okay with it.

Eh, when Tolliver wasn't hitting threes at a Ray Allen clip he was pretty useless.

I like Tolliver. He is smart and he tries on defense. He can play as a stretch 4. The fact that he gives you a different look is what makes him a good option to keep for me. Even if he's not hitting, defenses still respect him.

Put me down again for CDR and Tolliver both being guys I'd rather bring back this year than Taylor.

That's good enough of a clip.

McRoberts and CDR would be priorities, but mark me down as one who would like to have him back. He was fantastic when he was hitting threes.

I concur, as far as Tolliver and CDR are concerned I would even say lock our scrubs(for lack of better term) on cheap deals, figure the rest of off-season moves later. Especially Tolliver who is such a likeable character. I don't mind Taylor either, the injury is bummer though. Classy to make his contract guaranteed, even if he possibly ends up as trade throw in eventually.

Per WT:

Tolliver has also received interest from the Detroit Pistons, Washington Wizards, San Antonio Spurs and Charlotte Hornets among other organizations, sources said, and teams expect a possible signing next week.

I'd rather Tolliver than Marvin Williams bum ass.

Signed a 2 year 6 million dollar deal with the Suns.

Thanks for your service Anthony.

Congrats!

Really loved Tolliver. Glad he got himself a good contract.

Kind of wish we kept Tolliver. We still need shooting. With the extra defense and passing we'll get from Lance, Tolliver would have slotted in nicely for some minutes at the four.

He was easily our best three point shooter last season. 102 made threes on 41.3%

He'll fit in well with Phoenix though.

I wish we had Anthony Tolliver for 2-years/$6 million instead of Marvin Williams for 2-years/$14 million. I'll move on though, hopefully. It's up to Williams to prove me wrong, in which I'm hoping from a fan's standpoint sake, but I doubt it

Just saw his twitter post thanking us and the rest of Charlotte for supporting him. What a classy guy and a nice role player to have. Glad that he got his money.

best pure three-point shooter in Bobcats history. I'll miss him.
