I am not even gonna explain this simple situation to you again because you either lack the comprehension skills or you just like to pretend you lack the comprehension skills.

I was around long before And1s exist and for awhile on top of that didn't post often in the GDTs which is And1 parties as well. :lol:

But keep going, I'm sure your time on this board is gonna come to a close soon as everyone has grown tired of your stale tired schtick. Be sure to say hi to jimmit when you join him.

Haliburton should be a Knick..Obi should have never touched a Knicks jersey.

I'll forever be pissed at the current FO for putting personal interests over the obvious Haliburton pick and the Knicks franchise.

Two 2nd rounders? At least they're doing right by the CAA.

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.


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

It's possible but they're getting Bridges back it's not hard to see them almost making the playoffs again with Bridges, LaMelo, and Miller.

The pork tenderloin sandwich, also known as a breaded pork tenderloin sandwich, contains a breaded and fried cutlet similar to Wiener Schnitzel and is popular in the Midwest region of the United States, especially in the states of Indiana, Illinois, Missouri and Iowa.

Obi is too good of a player for that. Really disappointed at us getting merely two 2nd round picks.



jacob toppin aint gonna get no damn minutes. the hell are you talking about ? :lol:

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.


Not good enough for me, fam. My question is, why did it take them so long to cut their losses? Many of us saw this immediately when we drafted him. Unless we were trading Randle, selecting Obi was a poor selection as Randle was NEVER going to fit with him as neither are strong defenders - and they play the same position.

Cutting our losses now is like going to Vegas with $1000 and after the first blackjack game, you lost $500. Instead of just walking away after dropping half your cash, you wait until you're down to your last $300 to finally say, "Okay, I'm done".

That's what we did with Obi.
