    Best Player Available. Let's hope the new GM shares the same mindset.

    Chad made his philosophy very clear: draft best talent available, not by position ("regardless of position or age")

    Maybe he misunderstood what "BPA" means... So he drafted the Best Person Available. Nolan sure is a great guy!

    Maybe he thought it was already the second round?

    He couldn't believe his good fortune that Nolan had dropped that far!

    You guys really think Buchanan made the decision to draft Nolan?

    If so, then he should get credit all by himself as well on the Wallace trade.

    No, it was Nate, but as a GM you have to be able to sell PA on the right choice. That's why Chad should be nowhere near our GM job

    But why be so high on either of these new guys coming in and so down on Chad?

    Because, in my eyes, Chad has proved to me that he doesn't have command of the draft room that a GM needs to have. Maybe it's a grass is always greener scenario, but the others haven't shown me yet that they are failures at this very important part of the job

    Did you read that piece someone linked the the other day about Clippers Gm? It was a really good read.

    We don't need a rookie GM right now. We need experience, and some of the guys that have been mentioned have a lot more experience than Chad.

    If Chad spends all year analyzing and ranking players in the draft, as per his job and then come draft day someone else in that room wants a player much farther down on the list (as Nolan should have been)...and he doesn't say a word or can't convince them that his rankings are accurate or doesn't have the gravitas to do so? Then no way in hell he should be the GM....

    and even if Nolan wasn't his pick, which I don't necessarily believe, he obviously had Nolan Smith ranked way too high....
