this really sucks, our best interior defender and rebounder gone. i knew he was gone last season when Cliff played Maxiell over him. i guess this means we aren't looking to trade any of the other bigs

The only person we had to get rid of this season we brought back and let screw up our roster. It takes a special type of stupid for a coach to be this inept at offense to cost us good players.

It's kind of funny that we can make a decision like this and Cliff is the one that is getting all the blame, when folks were convinced he was getting fired like two months ago.

Apparently he went from zero job certainty to running our FO and calling the shots.

Haha, the joke continues... This is what happens when your team is run by clowns.

So we trade Vonleh, but draft a less talented Kaminsky

keep a fat one tool center who is near the end of his career who never has or never will win in the playoffs, trade for an overpaid guy coming off a terrible year in Hawes, but we dump a 22 year old that has improved every year and is a better all around player than either of these two right now and will only get better while they get worse

i dont like our frontcourt right now, too much skill overlap. no above average defenders besides Cody and no above average rebounders (for their position) possibility.

I think it was a dumb move at a time that we don't need to be cheap, but I don't expect to feel the negative effect from it this year.

Pretty indefensible though IMO.

I would have preferred to keep him but he really can't shoot or handle the ball at all. We certainly could have used his D though.

Also while Al was injured he absolutely refused to give Biz any credit even though he was playing better than Al could imagine playing and made the team better, it was our best stretch of the year for win/loss record and performance

Don't be surprised when Al gets a contract extension, what a joke......

I think I'm officially out. This franchise is hopeless. The management is just as bad as the Kings and Cavs.

we're letting an elite 22 year old rim protector go so we can open up minutes for spencer **** hawes. no other way to put this. this is really terrible and inept on our part. A smart front office will see the value in Bizz and he'll be a very nice piece for someone.

Ours is much worse than those guys, and that is saying something

I just don't agree with the whole pile of decisions that make up the rationale for this one. it's all very stupid and wrong.

Anybody watching those games was struck by how the entire team suddenly became energized by having a big man who gave a damn about playing defense and owning the boards while being completely content to never touch the ball on the offensive end. Everybody except our coaches and front office apparently, who must have resented their 12th man making their franchise savior look like a fat worthless piece of crap. Guess they won't have that problem any more.

Now that we've got Spencer Hawes AND Marvin Williams to provide spacing around our rotund Earthbound ball stopper, we don't need anybody who can do all of those things Clifford constantly bitched about us being terrible at doing in every post game press conference.

Who needs Biz or Vonleh when you can have Albatross and a bunch of stiffs with no potential?

Charlotte deserves better than this franchise.
Humble yourself.
