    Good Luck Indi, the guy who traded Andre Miller, Rudy, Koponen and a future second-round draft pick for Felton and then drafted Nolan Smith. .. I will never forget the shitty job he did as a "GM".

    But...



    Never trust a highlight tweet. They can make Joel Przybilla look like Shaq.

    I feel like that's giving him too much credit. Yes, he might have gotten us the pick, but he didn't draft Dame. We could have just as easily ended up with Austin Rivers or Jeremy Lamb or Kendall Marshall.

    This IS the guy who drafted Nolan Smith, no?

    On the bright side, it'll cut down on 75% of the league's "double flops".

    And i swear, everyone at the fucking time knew it was the worst pick, especially considering Kenneth FUCKING Faried was next

    Nolan Smith at #21, Faried at #22, and then Reggie Jackson at #24, and then Jimmy Butler was taken at #30 by the Bulls.

    Yea, thats even worse, but i remember draft day, when i was sure we'd pick Faried when he "slipped" to us, and then nope...CB thought Nolan was the right choice...sigh

    Isn't it a well known fact that Denver made us pass on faried if we wanted to get Andre Miller

    Edit: for Felton not Miller lol!

    Yes it's an established fact. But facts have never stopped anyone on this board from bitching and moaning about moves that were or were not made. :biglaugh:

    How was Crabbe a terrible terrible disappointment? Did anyone expect anything more than what we got? 10ppg and third best three point shooter. When we matched Brooklyn's offer, it's not like that meant we expected him to be a better player than he is.

    Probably gets more then we want to spend on him but this would be a good guy to have on 3rd string (that never plays but practices well). Much worse players riding the end of the benches for teams.

    What makes it even worse is that prior to becoming GM, Chad Buchanan was our head of college scouting. The fucker should have know Nolan Smith would suck ass, but that was his pick. Did we even land ONE decent college player while Buchanan was our GM? Even though he got the pick from NJ for Wallace, I'm 100% certain if he had been running that draft, he would have fucked it up, too.

    He also passed on Eric Bledsoe and Avery Bradley to take Luke Babbitt (via trade) and passed on Trevor Booker to take Elliot Williams - when it was already known at the time of the draft that Williams would need surgery on BOTH knees before even playing his first game in the NBA.

    On the bright side, the fucker owes us. Come on Chad, old buddy, how about sending PG13 our way...
