i dont blame MrKIA for being pissed. why should their fans waste money and time following this team over the next 2 years? have have absolutely zero intentions of trying to win any time soon. why not just forfeit the season and save everyone time and money.

Isn't that exactly what we did?

I am convinced Higgins leaving helped this draft so much

philly might be awesome in 3-4 years when all these assets start to come around, but man they are going to be brutal next year and probably the year after. 3 years in a row of being unwatchable is tough to ask for fans, even if there is a bright light at the end of the tunnel.

Why did we spend time following our team? If you are a fan you are a fan through thick and thin. Being pissed is fine and dandy, but disowning a team after you disagree with a draft is just stupid. But whatever, up to him.

I'd give it an A. I was kinda disappointed at first because I had my hope set on Stauskas or McDermott, but Vonleh is a very good pick. We made two good trades and had 3 good value picks. I just pray Vonleh and Hairston work out. Both are high potential but have a substantial risk.

Walker/Christon
Hairston/Neal
MKG/Henderson
McRoberts/Zeller
Jefferson/Vonleh

I like it, think we're definitely looking to trade Zeller or Biyombo.

higgins would have never figured out a way to dump a late 2nd round pick as a way to clear 2 mil in cap space.

Amazing. Cho did it tonight. Hairston and Noah, two guys who were slated to be drafted a couple of spots ahead of our picks. Most of all, both guys with talent and potential.

true but we've had 10x the seasons of crap that Philly has and how many of us became Laker fans etc.

he probably would've done the opposite

A+

I gave him a 'A'. This was a excellent draft for the Hornets

I give him a A- because of the VONLEH over PAYNE, but he showed Genius in this draft.

You described it well, but it's more to it. They haven't gave me anything to invest my emotions into for over a decade. I was cool with the tanking, but these draft picks today was almost the worst case scenario. I didn't like a single pick except for maybe the Russ Smith trade for Pierre Jackson, and that isn't much but backup fodder

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

Just watching a presser on Raptors TV and it's Masai Ujiri facing them and being GRILLED by the press about the Bruno Caboclo pick.

It's SUPER awkward and uncomfortable.

It's awesome.

Because we drafted him!

lol oh ok. Did we get a second rounder with the Napier Hairston deal?

mattcampbell · Post #459 » by **mattcampbell** » Fri Jun 27, 2014 4:19 am

Vonleh is younger than Payne and Payne has some conditioning problems. Vonleh has some nice potential, no way I take Payne over him
