NBA ChoK16 - the Rich Cho Thread

I just don't see a logjam of Lance + Hendo + Neal + Hairston, with Taylor on the roster as well and CDR lurking.

If plan B is Lance then I'm surprised we're not seeing more movement on the trade front. Then again you don't hear about any teams being interested in our guys anyways.

I would change my tune about Cho's offseason if he were to land Lance and send out Henderson somewhere.

I honestly don't see it, maybe neither.

If a GM decides that Lance Stephenson isn't worth it because he already has 4-5 shooting guards, and Gerald Henderson is the best of the bunch he deserves to be fired.

Especially after offering a max-deal to a parallel player that play the same position

Lance is better too, and helps us match up better with Cleveland. It literally makes too much sense. MKG+Stephenson is a great pair of defensive stoppers to attempt to limit Lebron+Wiggins.

Not until we see what he has planned. He might finish this free-agency with a lot of tricks up his sleeve. Currently, it looks bleak, but it's still the beginning of free-agency and far from over. A lot of trades and other acquisitions could be made between now and the start of the season

So, what you're saying is, fire Cho

This is the same Cho that wouldn't draft Drummond (a guy he seemed to have liked) because he just drafted Biyombo. Cho's an idiot in terms of roster building.

No. I'm saying that I'm not going to label Cho 'incompetent' until I see his full body of work. There's still time to vindicate himself in my eyes. They've been saying all along since the draft process that they've had everything mapped out from plan A to plan B & C with possible trades on the table, so I'm willing to wait it out and see

...but to answer your question in all sincerity, 'I might be'

there's plenty other reasons for not picking Drummond. None of them were great reasons, but the fact that Vonleh was drafted a year after Zeller was drafted at #4 disproves your point.

Not if my point is there is no rhyme or reason to anything Cho does. My other point is that Cho is an idiot which was decidedly proved by drafting Zeller at all.

Totally agree.

I wonder if Cho pissed Hennigan (Orlando Magic GM) off in trade negotiations, because I'm not finding any common ground of sense in why he traded Afflalo to the Nuggets for a lesser package only to follow up by signing Ben Gordon to a 2-year deal at the same position, other than to flip Cho a flying 'F' bird

I think Hennigan is just an idiot. I wouldn't read into it.

Remember before last season when Bledsoe for Afflalo was being discussed? How bad does Orlando want that one back?

I certainly agree that Hennigan hasn't come off as the brightest. I thought it was imbecilic to not make that swap of Afflalo for Bledsoe since it was in the best interest of both teams

As far as his relationship with Cho, I was just 'wondering' because it doesn't make sense, considering that Charlotte has been trying to trade for Afflalo since the offseason of 2013, if not sooner

Cho assembled a roster that got us to the playoffs and people want him fired?...

He's obviously got no idea, putting together a Bobcats team that can make the playoffs is so easy/green

Considering Hennigan gifted us McRoberts for Warrick to preserve a TPE... he's totally unpredictable. He traded Dwight for a bunch of unknowns and Afflalo. Turns out he struck gold on Vucevic and Harkless looks pretty decent too. A lot of the time it seems like he pisses away value to get players he's interested in. The players he's interested in are usually pretty random too.

It's hilarious. This board was so optimistic when we sucked, and so pessimistic since we fielded a team shooting for the playoffs.

The guy literally is responsible for 50 percent of the relative success that we've had over our existence.

When I read people ragging on him, it's like

Once we became Hornets all went south. Rod! Rufus! Cory! Come back, all is forgiven!

Draft lottery and draft day were good days that had us going north. I can't say the same about this free agency tho. I think I'm missing Higgins too and I'm being dead serious.
