Serge Ibaka had the same criticism. Only thing DJ and Kemba have in common is size, they are two different players completely. I'd rather start over from the mess Larry Brown left than to keep dwelling around the 7th and 8th spot in the playoffs. No FAs want to come to Charlotte, so this is how we get better. Things have to get worse before they get better.

Wouldn't quite call going to the playoffs one time in your 7 year existence dwelling.

The way its looking, you guys are going be rebuilding for the next 20 years. Toronto 2.0. Especially if you keep consistently laying eggs in the draft. Those lottery picks don't mean much when you waste them on players who suck, or exit the league in 2 years. Seems like the worse is going to continue to heavily outweigh the better.

Hey, at least Adam Morrison got a ring.

See above.

No one is saying 20 or 30 points, but he needs to be at or near 10 points in most games. Bitchsmack will have many 0 point games, unfortunately.

Child please.

Do, you know how many missed shots these Bobcats are going to have? He will get at least 10 points a night on those. If Kwame can score 20 points some nights for this team, then Biyombo can.

You would be a terrible GM. Remember post Jordan era how bad Chicago was? The only reason they are doing well right now is because they got lucky and drafted a center Jokahim Noah (who had questions on his offensive game) and they sucked so bad one year because they tanked that they drafted Derrick Rose.

If he plays like Oak he could turn out to be an absolute beast with his physical toolset, that's probably one of the best matchups coach wise Bismack could've gotten in the draft, Oakley could be a perfect teacher for him.

we'll see. I know one thing, with Corey Maggette, he'll have plenty of opportunities for put backs.

Both Oak and Silas will be excellent teachers for him. He has time to grow and mature, we aren't asking him to be an all star next year.

Just for nickname purposes I wanted Maggette!

Oh I'm actually warming up to the idea of Thompson, I just think we could have traded down a few spots to get him. I think they could have got a D-League guy like Hansborough though instead of a guy we'll never see.

Overall I give us a B. Not a great draft but with the picks we had in this scrap heap I think we did already considering JVal's buyout. Still think we should have gone Vesely though but whatev's.

I just don't understand the TT pick when you have Hickson (

) unless he is being traded, which could bring a good return for Cleveland.

Kemba Walker better drop at least 20 points a game for the Bobcats lol.

How would I be a terrible GM?

Because I wouldn't be stupid enough trade away my top scorer and defender and the #19 pick, only to get a guy with literally no offensive game at #7?

Or because I wouldn't be ignorant enough to take another undersized front court player with almost the exact same attributes as someone I already have on my team?

You're right. I couldn't hack it.

And how were the Bulls lucky. Yea we sucked, but when you lose 2 of the Top 50 players of all time, that's probably going to happen. We rebuilt by actually making smart trades and getting value out of our lottery picks sans Eddy Curry. Jay Williams doesn't count. The Bulls have one of the best front offices in the league, not sure I would call that luck.
