    LeBron wasn't what he is today when he first came in the league either, but i would say Zion is the closest we have seen since James joined the NBA.

    Yeah, I think he will fit in nicely. I hope he has a great season and somehow sticks with the team.

    Exactlu my point. Nothing. So why is it necessary to wash rinse repeat with "criticism" of the sMe old crap on a daily basis. What if someone came in and praised Olsbey or one of the other targeted people every single day with the same level of praise some do in bashing said person.

    It would be amazing if we could somehow keep Hood along with Baze.

    It would, similarly, accomplish nothing. So it seems a silly criticism to level.

    It's like complaining that people shouldn't drive Fords because they don't advance teleportation technology.

    No trophy. But the banner is going to look nice in the rafters.

    Yeah I just listened.

    That was a great introduction. Baze is legit.

    None taken. Interestingly though, you often proffer your critique of others' opinions. Yours certainly aren't immune.

    Not sure they both would be happy, unless you offloaded Harkless and made one of them a starter and the other backup.

    Nobody owes him shit. He was criticized for mistakes, and those criticisms were valid, no matter what he does now. He can improve, but that doesn't mean that people owe him am apology or need to say they were wrong when they werent.

    He's been classified by inactivity. The dead money is rough right now. ET, Craabe, Moe, Meyers were all good moves? And part of it was his overall tone (which hes improved).

    This conversation should be happening regardless. Olshey is making moves to improve this team. As he has every season.

    Oh, I think they do. Those moves got us further than we've been in a long freaking time. Anybody who said he deserves to be fired owes it. They know who they are. They were begging to eat crow when they said it. It was a joke then, and it's even more of a joke now that we've made WCF, and look to be moving into contention... You all know who you are. It's only a big deal if you're too little to man up.

    If someone screws the pooch and deserves to be fired, but isn't, and then subsequently does well after retaining their position, that doesn't mean that they still didn't deserve to be fired previously.

    It is possible to "bifurcate" present success from past incompetence.

    I love the smell of self-rightous twaddle in the morning. It smells like getting swept in the play-offs because our GM won't replace Aminu and Hark.
