You draft the damn BPA like Winslow, let him battle it out with MKG and Batum, and if anything Winslow is a very valuable asset you can flip for a veteran like we did Vonleh with Batum. No one freaking wants Frank.

I think he opens the season as the 5th big and we trade Marvin.

Zeller-Hawes
Al-Biz

we have to keep Biz, or we have no shot blockers.

They didn't pick Winslow because of MKG, and that is clear as day. I love MKG as much as anyone, but you absolutely cant select someone for need coming off a 33 win season. Todays NBA is positionless. The Warriors just won the title going small with Draymond freaking Green playing center. Cho, Chad Buchanan, Clifford, the scouting department, whomever can go to hell if they honestly had Frank over Winslow on their board. Thats ridiculous.

Water is wet. Ice is cold. Cho is Cho. This is like the 4th time he's had his mind set on a player entering the draft no matter how the chips fell.

all the hornets are to me right now are the lessees of a building where I can pay to watch actual teams come play every couple of weeks.

MKG is our best player. No need to draft a wing that can't shoot behind or around him. Kaminsky was BPA.

He probably does.

Think of it this way. Marvin Williams making 7 million might be our 3rd string PF. Kaminsky might be our 3rd string PF, and he was the 9th pick this year.

Cho saying that Frank can play center is fine and dandy, but hes not better than Jefferson or Hawes. We just added a 3rd string front court player.

I can't take you serious if you think Frank was the BPA. Id take Oubre, Booker, Turner, Frankenstein, Dracula, my mother, anyone over Frank.

More trades to be made. We gotta find a sucker to take Marv or Zeller. I like the fact that Cho is tryna right his wrongs. Should've listened to me from the get-go.

Even if Frank was the BPA. Shouldn't they just keep going down their list cause our BPA has been absolute **** since MJ and Cho got here.

Should just go "yeah Kaminsky is tops on our board, but **** MJ, you and I (Cho) have only made one good pick in a combined 25 years doing this. Maybe we should just take the next dude and see what happens"

Three PFs three straight years. Tried to trade the first, traded the second, drafted the third over a top 6 guy.

**** **** man.

Like isn't this what we've been asking for? Better, more dynamic offense with better outside shooting?

I don't get the "redundancy" argument.

I guess we should trade Zeller for Channing Frye and Biz for Pero Antic.

But we already have Zeller and Biz. Are we done prioritizing the improvement of our disaster of an offense?

Like really...I log on here every day and read about how Cho does a terrible job putting together a roster that fits and getting us shooters. He makes a pick that does both of those things and we roast him.

And screw you guys for making me be objective and defend Frank.

We already added 3 shooters, 2 of whom are high IQ passers and one is a stretch big. The good thing about the trades we made is that they balanced out the roster and allowed us the leeway to take the most talented player with our draft pick, but instead we reached for another shooter/stretch big when we already have a huge logjam in our frontcourt.
