    Those of you who keep misrepresenting Larry Miller and the Blazers amuse me. They said their first preference was, yes, for a GM with experience in trades and free agent signings; however, they were not adverse to going after a young up and comer if they thought they'd be the better hire.

    Cho is apparently part KP and part Penn. Supposedly a cap guru who has a good nose for talent as well. We will see how he does with trades.....something KP failed at

    :rolleyes: You're such a crouton.

    Comment all you want on the hire. I'll comment all I want on your idiocy. Free speech applies to all.

    El Presidente at least made a valid point. Cho's "green". Inexperienced. We have no idea if he's capable of making deals. Legitimate criticism.

    You on the other hand are criticizing the hire based on your baseless assumptions of how he'll do the job. IMO, it's ridiculous.

    Yep. I think they've found THE guy who can finally attract big time free agents and orchestrate blockbuster deals. Deffo OKC specialties.

    I'm buzzing like fuck right now.

    THIS IS IT!!!!!

    Why does it feel like we just hired Tom Penn?

    What has Cho done for you to come to this conclusion / mindset about him?

    When he was 10 years old, a Toyota ran over his dog.

    I don't know how I feel yet. I was hoping to get someone with a little more experience.

    Good grief people.....they managed to pick the one candidate who might not be a downgrade. If you aren't sighing in relief right now, you need a reality check!

    Compared to the flotsam that made up the rest of the pool, Cho was a low risk/high reward pick. This is the first smart decision they have made since this fustercluck started.
