Wow what a bright outlook. You know considering we have guy like Rudy who shoot like 30% from the field, I would think you would possibly actually take a positive view to a trade being made. Do some trades need to be made? Yes. Can we get what we want? Maybe. Hell who knows. Maybe Cho will trade Rudy for Jerryd Bayless!
This. With Roy out, Andre is the only guy, other than LA, who can create his own shot. Dude can actually score at will when he decides to.
I don't think Rudy sucks as much as I think he's inconsistent. There are nights when he looks like an absolute star, and others where he makes you wonder how me made the nba. We've got to find a way to get him to contribute every night. And with BRoy on the fritz, I don't think we can afford to trade him (or any other wing).
One thing is for sure regarding Cho He has all but said he has thrown in towel on playoffs. Last year KP would always say the goal is to make the playoffs. You never hear cho mention the word playoffs. To me as a fan, thats unacceptable considering we are 3 games over 500 in a fight for 8th seed. This just proves cho is more of a john nash gm rather then a gm who will build a contender. its like fans will sing "we arent going anywhere song" but lets face it.... what pick are we gonna get? 14? lol in a terrible draft. nice job cho. are you still working for the thunder? never thought id say this.... i miss kpee. least he wanted us to win. this guy is another nash.
cho has no trading skills. hes already proven that by making us worse and hornets better. not to mention good gms make al jefferson type deals. good gms get collison. good gms get emeka okafor for table scraps. cho is fucking garbage.
Re: One thing is for sure regarding Cho and 1 more thing.... if i was the players, id wanna punch cho in the face. they worked their asses off all year for this little punk to walk in and decide hes waiving the white flag. least kpee fought for his guys.
Re: One thing is for sure regarding Cho Wait, so now you're upset that they're not mentioning the word "playoffs", after you've declared the season was over 10 times already??
I don't think he's garbage, but I'm not sure if him admitting he blew it on the Bayless trade is a refreshing dose of candor, or an admission of incompetence. Thus far, Cho apparently isn't even impressed with himself, so people defending him at this point seems a bit odd. At best, he gets an 'incomplete', IMO.
Ok, so what did he do to make the Hornets better again? How's that Al Jefferson "type deal" working for the Jazz?
Re: One thing is for sure regarding Cho Where are these lines I'm supposed to read between for this one?
hey, getting a guy like al for nothing is exactly what we need to do. its called retooling. how did hornets get better? um jack as a backup pg is better then most teams backup pg. god monty williams must be laughing his ass off.
Re: One thing is for sure regarding Cho im just saying its awful for the fans, players that cho has given up after the team has fought so hard. shameful.
Re: One thing is for sure regarding Cho Where did he give up? By saying he won't sacrifice the future? Same thing KP ALWAYS said when the deadline got near.
You are aware that it's not just that easy, right? A team has to have cap room to absorb a player for nothing, or in the case of the Jazz, a TE for letting Boozer go for basically the TE. But you knew that (or maybe you didn't. I'm not sure if you either are so smart that you just play this way to be funny, or if you're completely void of any sort of basketball knowledge. And yet the Jazz are a WHOLE 3 games ahead of Portland, despite Portland only having one player who has not gone on life support. So now you're a Jarrett Jack fan? You'd like to see Jarrett Jack off the bench? Do you ever look at stats? Jacks #'s this year (for New Orleans). 17 minutes, 38% from the floor, 31% from 3, 6.7 points and 2.3 assists. Woah lordy, I bet Monty is laughing a ton about those rock solid #'s!!!
Re: One thing is for sure regarding Cho you should be saluting him, since you do the same on a daily basis.
Hindsight 20/20. At the time I didn't mind the trade. NO was 37-45 last season, and had they got off to a slow start they might have been forced to trade CP3. Who would have predicted they would be playing so well this year with primarily the same team as last year? (Granted, with a healthier Paul). It looked like that draft pick could be a lotto. Not to mention that we'd seen enough of JB to know he was never going to be a starting PG on this team, and that he wasn't even a very good b/u PG. With a healthy Roy, newly aquired WM, & Rudy . . . we didn't really need an undersized b/u SG that couldn't shoot. JB never progressed (he still hasn't). He's got some ability to get to the rim, but too many holes in the rest of his game (ball handling, court vision, shooting range, team defense to name a few) and he never showed marked improvement in the areas of his game that need it.
Bayless improved in nearly every statistical measure from year one to year two. You can choose to ignore his improvement, but it doesn't mean he hasn't improved. Not to mention teams usually don't give up on a player after TWO years. I hated the Bayless trade then, and it's even worse now. His assist % has jumped from 22% last year, to nearly 30% this year. It was only 18% in his first year.
dont worry about be 3 games back of utah..... our piece of shit gm has already decided lotto for 5 years
