It really feels like he brings a professionalism and approach to our front office that we have never had before.

I like it

I'm interested in this scouting database he's putting together. If OKC uses something similar, we could have some good prospects coming our way.

If anything, I'd love to have a meal with Cho and pick his brain a bit.

I came across that yesterday. It's from when he was hired by Portland, but it's still worth the read.

Cheers for the articles guys, I'm so glad we have Cho & his analytical approach to being a GM.

Paul Allen seems like an owner who only wants to be surrounded by yes men, Paul Allen is the biggest problem for the trailblazers aside injuries.

His deals for us so far have been magnificent & I'm looking forward to that trend continuing.

Cho is the best thing to happen to this franchise by FAR. We should rename the team the ChoCats.

:D :D :D He sure made the right call trading that 2nd rounder for Mullens. Now if only Coach would let Byron post up about 10 feet away from basket and tell DJ White/
BB to clean up the offensive boards, Wow! :wink: :wink:

Have to tell you about my dream last night which woke me this morning. I dreamed I was hearing my radio on ESPN talking about how the Bobcats just traded DJ and Diaw to the Lakers for Andrew Bynum. The Lakers needed a PG of the future and Diaw filled a need for them this season. But they really wanted Diaw for his expiring Contract also. Dwight Howard had announced he was finishing this season with Orlando and was then going to sign with the Lakers. Meanwhile they was talikng great about the Bobcats having a terrific set up with Kemba, Hendo, Biyombo and Bynum. And the Cats were in line to draft Harrison Barnes to fill the final spot to make them a serious contender in the East.

Of course, I then woke up. Kinda sad it was only a dream. Then, wondering if Cho could actually pull off a move like this one.

I don't think DJ and Diaw are fair value for Bynum. Not that Bynum is amazing, but most of his value is being the second best center (when healthy) in the league.
