i remember brian hill really wanting redick too, so in 7 years, 12+ picks, redick is the only one contributing

I dont think so but he would be a huge upgrade over BBD imo, I bet he heads to the heat to add some size, and hes only like 25 I think?

Smith was part of the war-room long before he was GM. But he did not have an executive choice, as mentioned above, until 2006.

Drafting is our biggest issue. Most teams would at least be able to find a back up even third string PG in the draft. Same with back up center. Our inability to draft even back ups mean we need to keep throwing money at veterans.

Hickson has been as bad as Big Baby. Funny Sac town got tired of it and cut him. While Davis still getting big minutes for us.

And even when we find good talent (Lee) we trade him away as soon as possible. Funny how management can't wait for anybody and yet, they have never won anything in over 20 years.

That Diener pick is the only thing warding off the pink slip.

well deserved caus eh sucks

RHBullsFan · Post #58 » by **RHBullsFan** » Tue Mar 20, 2012 5:05 pm

not adding another player...

Our backup PG is Chris Duhon
Out backup C is Glenn Davis

Derek Fisher and Turiaf available. Waive Orton and waive Smith.

Guys on message boards should not be proposing obvious improvements to our roster that our GM is refusing to make.

IGotDaMagicInMe · Post #59 » by **IGotDaMagicInMe** » Tue Mar 20, 2012 5:26 pm

How much better would we be if we waived orton, signed turiaf and used ish instead of duhon?

Using my new algorythm

Davis and Duhon playing less= more wins for the Magic
