At least we're not the Grizzlies 

Post#1 » by big3_8_19_21 » Mon Aug 3, 2009 3:49 am

On top of every bad move that they have made (see: every move they have made), now they fire ALL of their college scouts and don't plan on hiring any new ones? Is that a joke? I can only assume that they did this because any advice the scouts gave was just ignored by the FO anyway.

They still have a part-time scout to keep an eye on players in Europe, but they don't plan to make any hires heading into the 2009-10 season.
Thriving on mediocrity since '89.

i take solace in the fact we aren't the grizzlies, kings (NHL and NBA), the clippers, royals, pirates, mappleleafs, or the yankees.

They should probably get that looked at.

Might be tough to apply. I don't know what the zoikus is, but it sounds tough to reach.
