What's next? IQ for a top 20 protected first-round pick?

Whats great is, when all these picks convey, we'll just trade them for future picks again. Keep kicking that can!

Yeah, it really doesn't make sense.

Any smart GM/POBO would see that after you drafted a guy you hoped would take Randle's place after his disappointing season the season prior, and then seeing Randle having the best year of his career, would be to sell high on Obi and trade him for a future first or something. But wasting a top-ten pick just to come off the bench and watch as his value continually decreases is just bad asset management.

Why draft a guy if you don't even use him? Or why draft a guy who wasn't even the best fit for the team at the time? No one can even say that this is a hindsight statement because we all know guys who fit better were available to us than Obi prior to the draft.

I am quickly losing faith in our management because I just don't see what they're trying to do. We have a flawed team and it doesn't look like they're going to address our weaknesses (a solid wing who can play defense and shoot, and a backup PG).

The Obi mistake was 3 years ago. If anything we should be happy they finally cut losses now that there's zero place for him and that they took this L instead of continuing to prolong it.

Overall this front office has barely missed. Cam Reddish, Obi, and the last year on the Fournier contract are the only mistakes I can say from the last 4 years that I saw coming a mile away.

Drafting Obi was the original sin. Everything else is just fruit from that rotten tree.

1. Drafting Obi wasn't an obvious mistake pre draft.

2. We weren't giving up first round picks for Cam Reddish. If Atlanta got a first for him we could've waited and got more for Obi.

i don't think you can assume that just because we were dumb enough to give up a 1st some other team will be too. there was more time left on cam's rookie deal too. and obi asked out supposedly. it's not like we were gonna showcase him to pump up his value.

I'm going to miss

The 1 airball a game.
The terrible defensive rotations.
The leaking out to run a fast break instead of crashing the boards
Running like shaggy from a ghost
The unrealistic expectations of Knicks fans.
The handles of someone who should be playing on a black in white TV.

So long obi hope you enjoy pork tenderloin sandwiches.

Cam had one more year on his rookie deal and he also asked out. There wasn't a recording of him talking **** to his coach though so I see your point.

that heavily protected hornets pick we gave up for scam will likely become 2 seconds anyway that team isn't going anywhere anytime soon so they ultimately probably got equal value in 2 seconds
