It wouldn't change anything. He clearly has little pull in the FO.

This and the Vonleh deal have Clifford's prints all over them.
Humble yourself.

I love Charlotte too much to ever cut ties but we are so inept. If Al is resigned......

Each move and draft pick by this FO perplexes me more and more.

I feel like a fool for ever believing in this franchise, what a waste of life this has been. Good riddance MJ/Cho/Clifford basketball organization, you don't deserve the Hornets nickname much less to exist in the city of Charlotte. Run these idiots out of town and force the cheap, dumbass that is Michael Jordan to sell the team.

Umm......maybe it's just me, but this isn't THAT big of a deal...I understand Biz works hard but can you really afford to play 4 on 5 on offense in today's NBA?

I can't believe anyone actually thought we would bring him back. We have Hawes / Zeller / Messy Marv (Cliff still thinks hes a PF) and Kaminsky. Kaminsky will see time at PF and C so these guys have the backup rotation spots taken up. You don't pay $4.1 million for a third or fourth string C. Besides rim protection isn't that important when you have a new super offense like us. We will just be outscoring fools left and right.

I mean no offense when I say this, but I feel bad for you guys.

Your front office and coach are complete idiots. I'm not the biggest Biyombo fan (I'm sure some of you are). But letting him go and trading Vonleh are really bad moves.

at this point I'm just cheering for the team so they won't leave the city. Maybe the stars will align one day and we will win a playoff game. It won't be in our lifetimes but maybe our children will see it.

Are you being sarcastic or are you really implying that adding Batum, Spencer Hawes, and Frank Kaminsky, to the worst offense in the league propels it to "super offense" status?

You know it's bad when Philly fans feel bad for you

Eh could be worse. Hurts because its another draft pick gone but at the same time I feel like we gave him his fair shot. He is far from irreplaceable without a long term commitment. I'm interested us play a different style of play hopefully more offensive based anyway

If Biz sucks than this decision is an indictment on Cho for being a poor judge of talent. If Biz is good then this decision is an indictment on Cho for being a poor judge of talent. Cho is a poor judge of talent.

edit: don't know why i said trade.

we're all overreacting probably, but either way this is just not smart asset management. when you have a 22 year old center that is arguably elite at something you dont just let him walk for nothing. this whole offseason has been bad asset management, from dumping Vonleh for a possible rental to not taking the Celtics trade for the 9th pick.

Just got the alert on my phone and could not believe it. Outside of Zeller, the remaining bigs are allergic to defense. Biyombo will never be a great offensive threat, but to not even offer him the QO is baffling to me. The team should have traded Albus.

If he is good the indictment is on Clifford's or not knowing how to use talent.
