Several years ago, there was a road map for this team and it went horribly off course. We were to be a dominant team of the future with a trio of Roy-Aldridge and Oden with a bevy of complimentary role players. Cap space cleared 2 years ago was supposed to net a PG of the future. We got Andre Miller. Rudy Fernandez, emerging star, has not lived up to potential. Injuries decimated the team, but are not the cause for the dysfunction. This team, as is now, compared to the vision from 2 years ago is a train wreck. There is no faith in management, no faith in the GM and beloved players and GM Pritchard have been alienated and/or let go without explanation. Roy will stay. But if this path keeps on what it is, we're going to have the same situation with Oden that Rudy is in and then we have no championship hopes whatsoever.
First was Penn, then it was Pritch and now its Rudy. Then the assistant coaches let go and the FT coach and whoever else. There is something fishy in the water here and I believe its more organizational than the guys getting the boot or wanting to jump ship.
According to Quick, Cho turned down first round picks by a couple of teams (as well as player for player deals). It seems to me that since we signed Matthews it pretty much ended Rudy's tenure. To turn down a first round pick for a reserve player is a sin. Cho had held out for too much and therefore has to bear his share of responsibility for the mess. Cho failed to make a decent deal when they were presented.
No faith by whom? You? Because I have faith. The outlook is good. Let this team play a healthy season of basketball and if it all falls apart, we can talk about trains wrecking. And who is to say that Andre Miller can't turn into out PGotF? He almost did on draft day (via the Chris Paul trade).
You must live in some kind of crazy ass dream world where all of your plans come to fruition and everything goes according to script.
This would be the only reason I'd be angry at Cho. If we really indeed did have a 1st lined up, then shame on him for not making that deal.....I don't care what year the pick was either. The overvaluing continues
According to Quick, Marc Iavaroni is currently the team's coach. According to some random dude on Bleach-report "The bleach segment in Guatemala has not had strong innovation over time, leaving space for small local brands to enter the segment with a fairly similar product but at lower prices. Total current value sales of bleach declined by -1% in 2009, to reach GTQ130 million. The down trading tendency during 2009, stopped the fall from being steeper, as many " - http://www.pr-inside.com/bleach-guatemala-market-report-r2049477.htm Really...
Is it only now that we're about to get nothing for Rudy that everyone is content with a 1st round pick?
