    I have no problem with admitting I was wrong. Good for Cho and whatever he did. I still believe with all honesty that Cho had less to do with this deal than a normal GM would, but kudos to the entire organiztion for landing a very good player

    But, thats only because you've trumped out that Cho has been a horrible GM since the day he was hired.

    If Cho had some kind of history, I wouldn't be as smarmy. But, the guy wasn't even given a trade deadline or a draft day before he was criticized by the masses with corny nicknames and such.

    I can honestly buy a little of that. This was PA and Larry Miller as much as it was Cho.

    Not trying to belittle Cho at all, but I think it's pretty clear this decision was made as an organization, which imo is a very good thing. I will say though it's probably opposite of what Cho would ideally like to do. I think he was ready to tear it apart, trade Camby/Miller/etc and get younger and rebuild. I don't think PA wanted any part of that so this is what happened.

    It was just as informed as you trying to break down Cho's line of thinking.

    Maybe already posted: Wallace will wear #3 . . . just pull off the 0 on your old Wallace jersey and your set.

    Wallace is a thuggish, ruggish looking gentleman. Gives us a little ruggedness in style of play that I like.

    my wife knew him in SAC. She says he's a very polite (and used to be quite shy) guy, and was excited to hear that he's coming here.

    That's awesome, I added him to the Blazers on NBA 2K11 and gave him those exact same shoes :lol: What are the chances?
