    I'm confident in what I'm betting on, obviously you're not.

    Which shows he's good at analysis. He's analyzed his own track record with predictions and come to the logical conclusion.

    Why don't you just say "Painful to realize but the Nate Bishops will be happy just like when they thought "Bassy" was the future", or were you talking about someone else?

    Uh oh, a mod is catching feelings. I sense meltdown. Where's the next forum we're all going to?

    If it helps, MIXUM has been characterizing anyone he disagrees with as "Bassy is the future" people.

    Even though this thread wasn't entirely serious and people are just taking a chance to bash MIXUM whenever they can get it, I've always kinda thought Cho might just be a "lame duck" GM. Someone has to be the potential fall guy for when difficult decisions are made. Who better than someone most people had never heard of before he got the job?

    Rebound GM? The guy after your last steady GM who bridges the gap to your next steady GM?

    Well, they couldn't get who they wanted, so I guess Cho would fit the "rebound GM" tag.

    Who did they want? I'm not recalling, off-hand, someone who was clearly their top target that rebuffed them.

    Lamer is on the $$$$$$$! Nice job. Least you get it.

    Cho is John nash part 2. A bad gm who communicates with fans to soften blow. Can't wait for blazer slogan. Choke with us,

    Cho is a lame duck until we are on the rise. His trades will always be salary dumps, 2nd round or lates firsts and project draft players. He will feed the kool aid club the whole"it worked in okc" till fans stop going to games and we get a top 5 pick where another Webster will happen.

    Sit back and watch. Lamer hit the ball out of the park.

    1. An experienced GM that hasn't had a job in forever. See: John Nash.
    2. The current GM who put the team in a position to have to make difficult decisions. Kevin Pritchard.

    Why would the team hire a young and up-and-coming GM when they could have just kept an existing GM on board? At least they could have forced KP to resign if he didn't want to play ball, saving the team money.

    I don't see any evidence that the franchise hired Cho to take blame for things. In fact, based on the lack of moves, it seems to be the exact opposite.
