To be honest, I'm preparing myself for another franchise dark age, one to rival the Nash epoch. Things could have been pretty nice with a healthy Roy and Oden, but we have turned down the darker road. Will there ever be light again? Perhaps. This is the winter of our discontent, though...just in time for summer.
Sorry Minstrel but the chemistry just isn't right between you and the rest of the forum so I'm afraid we're going to have to let you go.
Maybe Greg never warmed up to Cho. Maybe he will like the next one better. Maybe he hated Cho. Or Maybe you are right. Personally I doubt it makes a difference.
I don't want to rebuild, because I think tearing down what talent you have invariably pushes you further, time-wise, from contention. But I think the front office is in disarray, which greatly reduces the team's chances of figuring out where to go from here. Ultimately, they may take the "easy way out" and announce a full-scale rebuild...for some reason, complete tear-downs can be sold to fans as a credible plan for progress.
I'm no fan of tear-downs, either, but I think in this case I'd prefer to take a step back than to go with a "win now at all costs" mode... which it seems like the team might be more interested in. The team is not that close to winning and I don't have faith in the GM-less management to get it to a position where mortgaging the team makes sense. Ed O.
I like to think that maybe the firing of Cho had more to do with how he handled the Oden and Roy situation. Who knows. Maybe Allen doesn't want Greg and Cho did? We will soon find out.
Well you might like to think that, but all reports seem to indicate that this was not performance related, that it really is/was a personality conflict ... I can't quite decide if that's somehow better or worse (I'm leaning worse).
I wonder between who? Allen and Cho? Miller and Cho? Nate and Cho? Or the players and Cho? Or maybe all the above.
