fats or other mods, what say you start a poll?

Make it kind of like how the GB votes on best players/coaches and such.

For example

Does Nic Batum belong in the BFHOS? Yes or No?

Call it a minimum 67% yes vote for enshrinement

when you vote you nominate the next subject from a list of 5

Separate thread for each vote?

Corey Maggette for being the worst tank commander ever. Didn't even bring us the first pick. And Tyrus Thomas. I was so hype about him but he was awful.

honestly, for this iteration of the franchise 2003-today I can only think of a handful of guys that deserve positive recognition overall for going above and beyond and thats pretty sad
Crash/Kemba as "stars"
McBob, CDR, Marvin, Lin as role players

pretty much everyone else I can think of, and that includes every coach we've ever had, either gets a C or B for meeting expectations or was a failure, or its too early to say

the list of successes is shorter than the list of catastrophic failures which is actually pathetic :lol:

Not sure if anyone has mentioned the '16 trade of #22 for one year of the ghost of Belinelli? Siakam, Dejounte Murray, Brogdon all on the board. Of course, we would've drafted Brice Johnson.

im just trying to think of anything from this exercise that would even be controversial or generate any kind of debate
I guess someone earlier said Glen Rice but not sure why he would even be nominated

maybe playing horribly fat out of shape Diop actual minutes would get some pity votes for the comedic+likability factor

My screen name says it all. My gawd that man had a massive forehead.

But the Dwight Howard debacle could be added to this list despite his okay stats. Oh, and trading Alonzo Mourning was the move that caused the most pain.

Pains me to say it because I loved him in college but PJ Hairston, guy starts off his career by getting into a fight with some high schoolers in his first Summer.

wasn't it suggested we were going to draft Brogdon? that's what made it more frustrating

I seem to recall that was the case. This seems to back it up;

What an unbelievably crap move.

My 2 cents - we're really wasting some good offseason content on these brown frown threads.

this list is going to be extremely long


if we do a poll every three days, we might not be done until 2024

Spoke about it last year. Says it was his injury history. Stiil, trading the pick for Bello was atrocious.

Brogdon who was represented by David Falk, then expected to land at 22 with the Charlotte Hornets and Falk’s most famous former client, Michael Jordan. Charlotte’s medical team put paid to that hope.
