We are keeping him.

Great pick. So scared we were taking Carl Landry or DeAndre Jordan with the #2 pick of the draft.

I hope we don't trade him.

I don't hate the kid...just hate the pick at #2. If we had 5 "legitimate offers" than something had to be better than this...we probably could've gotten him with the trade down to 4, there's no way we should value the 31 THAT much.

Like the pick and like the player. Happy with it, whether he stays or is traded. Marc Spears saying ihat he could be traded.

Love MKG!

I'm okay with it, but the with the second pick? come on.....

CATastrophic · Post #15 » by **CATastrophic** » Fri Jun 29, 2012 12:09 am

MKG knows how to win and his effort and defense will do the Bobcats well. His shot will eventually come. But we could've traded down and probably still have gotten him. Disappointed that we were so stubborn that we would trade down only if the other team took Tyrus or Carroll!

I'm legitimately concerned that none of the starters has consistent perimeter range...

Bassman · Post #17 » by **Bassman** » Fri Jun 29, 2012 12:11 am

AS said in the draft thread, I hate the pick. The guy is all motor, but he's undersized in length and cannot shoot. We need so much, but we certainly needed a SF who can shoot the ball.

This day has been one from hell. Enjoy your expensive glue guy folks. I respect your opinion if you like the pick, but at LEAST we could have gotten more value by dealing with Cleveland, who clearly went to plan B on their pick.

I agree with someone who indicated that MJ really fell in love with MKG. So, either he vetoed the trade cause he might lose his man crush, or Cho has baby balls.

Now, I'm vented. Thank you all for understanding.

Mkg wasn't my top choice but I can see why we were high on him. He's young and has room to grow into a better shooter over the years. Plus his motor is top notch. Can't wait for summer league.

I really want to transition him to the SG spot. I think he could be a nasty off guard playing beside Kemba

JMAC3 · Post #20 » by **JMAC3** » Fri Jun 29, 2012 12:25 am

I dont hate it. Hope we can land a big man at 31. Sullinger, Nicolson, Mike Scott, Ezeli, Melo possibly
