If Pietrus lands on a team that won't wait a few years to teach him some fundamentals and put him in a role he fits...look out. Teams rave about "athleticism" in draft prospects (ill-defined) but then fuss when it takes some SKILL to teach such guys SKILLS. We don't really develop guys a lot. Some,like Monta, are instinctive enough to learn just by doing it. Biedrins mostly was taught to not foul out. Otherwise he mostly has the game he started with. The B Wright who got fragments of play late season looked like a rusty version of what he was at UNC.
Baron and 2 lotto picks leave and we get......nothing. Well.....we earned that. Baron was our star,leader,core guy and Mullin left him hang..I guess as some bluff to save Cohen some money.
J Rich..Baron...Arenas....Jamison. Each had his 20+ pt season here and out....we lost 90 points worth of scoring and got Be Right..who we then didn't play.
Next....Monta. Soon he's the 20 pt scorer with a big deal and there will be some excuse to trade him for the next Evan Eschmeyer + Popeye Jones.
I hope I'm wrong..we get Josh Smith,we keep our RFA's we pull off a crafty deal and a meteor hits Los Angelus. Even 3 out of those 4 would be a relief.
CENSORED... No comment.
