    @WojYahooNBA: Portland's scouting director Chad Buchanan has reached agreement in principle to become Charlotte's assistant GM, league sources tell Yahoo.

    Didn't he want Faried and Denver forced an agreement in which we had to pick someone else or something? I mean the whole idea of a Felton/Smith for Miller/Faried is a shit sandwich but at the time Felton looked like a good fit.

    That wild guess was an attempt to explain the inexplicable.

    I honestly can't remember. But I do recall forming a very strong (negative) opinion of him 2 (maybe 3?) years ago. Slightly before everyone was saying he should just be our GM.

    That was my theory too, because of the Coach K connection. But we're all guessing, whether it's that theory or the "secret part of the Miller-for-Felton trade" theory.

    That wild guess is right on par with the Earth being round.

    Who knows how much of a voice Buchanan had in the draft room, but assuming he had a role in bringing in such flops as Babbitt, Smith, Bayless, et al. I guess you could say he wasn't exactly irreplaceable.

    Honestly, Neil Probably just wants to bring in more of his own guys and that's completely his prerogative.

    Exactly any role in drafting Babbitt and Smith deserves punishment

    Good: Trading Wallace for Pick that became Lillard, signing Wesley when he was unknown to most

    Bad: Draft picks Babbitt, NSmith, AJohnson, Claver and Trade for Felton

    Depending on how much input he had regarding Lillard goes a long ways towards the good outweighing the bad
