I originally added this as part of the Fire Ernie thread, but Wes just started a thread about another article so it dawned on me to give it a topic of it's own.

When can fans expect to see recent number three overall pick Otto Porter on the floor?
And no matter what happens this season, what is the plan for the future?

To them, the questions already do have answers – and those answers demand the firing of current general manager Ernie Grunfeld. I have gone on record in other blogs and forums as defending many of Ernie’s moves over the years, but even I have to admit that this is a make or break season for him.
