    Why hate Fran?

    Hate your front office for drafting him.

    Well, I think it is obvious that we all hate the front office. [​IMG]

    But you have to give some of the blame to Franny. He did have the choice and he didn't think he could "adapt to the American way".

    I?m not even going to act like I know whats going on. I have been away from any type of news for the last four days. Is he not coming back to play for the Magic ever? Or is he playing another season over seas? Do we get compensated for the pick if he chooses not to play for us? Well if the case is he will spend a season over seas I do not mind. He might be able to come over and have the impact Ginobli did for the Spurs if he spends a few more seasons over there.

    I don't hate the front office, they made what was the right pick...

    1)You don't get many "low risk" guys at 11.
    2)The buyout was said to be very small and very doable.
    3)We get our "twin towers"
    4)He was projected top 10 pick and the #1 PF in the draft and he fell to us.
    5)He was "NBA ready".

    I hate Fran for not coming. I hate myself for ever defending this guy when everyone else was calling him a bust and stuff without ever seeing him play.

    You guys act like we own him rather than the right to sign him to an NBA contract.

    I don't know how you can hate him for being honest. He said he never said to the front office that he is sure to come, he was all the time thinking what he should do. He apologized to the front office if it wasn't clear to them.

    And I can fully understand why he doesn't want to play here, I don't hate him for this.

    It's once again our management that didn't recognize those things.

    But there is one thing I don't like so much, he apologized to the front office but as far as I know not to the fans.

    Edit:

    Okay there are other things I don't like about his attidute, that media knew about it before our management.

    But as I said in the other thread, it's our management that should get the most blame for this, not Fran.

    Also hate is such a strong word, too strong.
