His jumper was water, Presti might have finally made a bad trade


Thank god this guy got suspended. How would be trading away your 5th best center that will never play a bad trade? *sigh*


If anything, if Mullens does well in Charlotte is would show just how good Presti is at seeing talent.

You are correct, but damn if he isn't putting up some good numbers for the lolcats. Did anyone in 2010 guess that Mullins would be the one doing well and Aldrich not so much? Yeah, me either. My first thought was that Presti made a mistake trading him, but knowing that he would never see the light of day in OKC softened my stance on it considerably.

Anyone else expecting him to have a 'revenge game' statline when the lolcats play the Thunder next?


Aldrich would be putting up numbers just like Mullens if he went to a terrible team and got to play 30 minutes a game. The players we have on our deep bench are all very talented, they're just less talented than the players in front of them.

QFT. How many teams can say that their 4th string big men could potentially be starters for another (admittedly bad) team? It'll be interesting to see if Mullens and DJ make it over Diop, Diaw, and Tyrus 'but I am Le Tired' Thomas.
I move around so much, I've just decided to start rooting for everybody.
Except the Heat.

Mully is starting and seems to be getting better ever game . His rebounding has picked up quite a bit while his can't miss shooting has cooled off a little . Hes droped at the ft line to 88% down from a can't belive 98%. Hes about 12ppg in scoring. DJ White is solid very solid and should be starting over TT. He averages more off the beanch than TT does starting. Its lots of talk about extending his contract. Even Cunningham could play and we should have matched his contract offer.

All that said i belive OKC finds talent better than any team in the NBA. Like a few of you guys said . You have better talent roting on the beanch than some teams have starting.
CHO seems to know talent ? Can any of you guys give any input on him ?

Cho is awesome.

Wasn't he with Presti in SA?

Confirmed, Cho is awesome.


Cho was not in San Antonio. He was at Boeing before he signed with Presti and the Sonics

He was never going to get minutes in OKC. So good for Bobcats for taking the risk!

There's 2 way of looking at things.
1) OKC messed up by giving up a floor spacing backup.
2) Presti draft magic is still intact!
