Re: McJesus - The Josh McRoberts Thread
i've said this a few times before, but if we have to make a trade for a long-term power forward, then we also need to fire cho. he has spent 3 top 10 picks in the past 4 years on biz, zeller and noah and if none of those guys pan out as starters, then cho needs to be held accountable.
that being said, an upgrade at power forward is sorely needed. hopefully that upgrade comes in the form of zeller and noah getting better.

I hate the Vonleh pick, and I absolutely despised the Biyombo pick. I didn't mind the Zeller pick at all and it actually caught me off guard that he would draft someone that wasn't a 4 year project. He can pull off some good trades, but Ill give the Stephenson 3 year signing with a TEAM option credit to Michael Jordan flying to Vegas to meet him and his agent personally. I don't know who his agent is, but there is no way Lance and him are telling MJ no to his face.

Re: McJesus - The Josh McRoberts Thread
I think Cody and Vonleh will be a very solid starting 4-5 in a few years...but Bismack....i highly doubt he is still on the roster next season

Bash him for draft picks and then credit others for quality FA signings, makes sense...
I like how we're already **** on Vonleh when he has yet to dress out for, much less play a single minute in, a regular season game.

Im not down on Vonleh, I just didn't like the pick, at all. Thats not bashing him. Biyombo as the 7th pick is a bust. Vonleh is to be determined as is Zeller.

Re: McJesus - The Josh McRoberts Thread
Vonleh was a no brainer pick at #8 let alone #9.
Whether it was Vonleh himself, Nik Stauskas, Marcus Smart, Aaron Gordon, Julius Randle etc. we had to take the player who slid.
Who should we have taken?
Before the season it's all happy families and bring back the buzz! Go 1-2 and people think Cho should be axed?

Seriously. This board is so bi-polar it's absurd.

Re: McJesus - The Josh McRoberts Thread
I was hoping the shirt ripping meant he was pissed about playing time and we could trade to get him back. But, apparently he was just displeased at missing a rebound.
Josh also did this, first game back:[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jduilTUVYNE[/youtube]

Re: McJesus - The Josh McRoberts Thread
I want him back so much...
Kemba - MKG - McBob were the heart of the team in my eyes... And their way of facing (mentally speaking) this sport is exactly how I want the players of the team I support to react.
Sad ... Sad loss.

Re: McJesus - The Josh McRoberts Thread
It's a sad, sad state of affairs indeed. Not only are we going to more than likely get smacked around, it'll be McJesus doling out the back-hands. We have nothing for that guy right now judging by how we've been playing. Who knows though, maybe we can get lucky and come back at the end of the game to keep it interesting and actually pull a win.

Re: McJesus - The Josh McRoberts Thread
Spoelstra said yesterday McRoberts will continue to play 10-15 minutes a game. Im not worried about him at all.

Re: McJesus - The Josh McRoberts Thread
McBob played 6 minutes tonight and didn't put up a single number in the box score. Its too bad that a guy that could really help us is rotting on their bench while the guy we paid big money to take his place is completely invisible when hes on the court here. Sounds like a formula for regression to me.

I wish McRoberts was still here too, but he's not. At some point we need to just move on.

For real. He chose Miami over Charlotte. Move on.

Yep. If anything we should be bashing him.

Re: McJesus - The Josh McRoberts Thread
He was trying to start fights tonight, it is not our fault he turned down a starting job for the same money and LeBron left him holding the bag and now hes only making cameo appearances on a worse team.

Re: McJesus - The Josh McRoberts Thread
I liked the crowd boo'ing him tonight in the pathetic amount of minutes he played. We gave him a chance to shine and earn some big time money, and he leaves us for another team when we basically offered the same amount. Screw him, Im glad hes not getting minutes.
