    How does it end? I have no problem calling out Michael on his bad track record as an exec. But why are we still calling him out specifically for moves when he finally put people in place to make those kind of moves?

      I have a succinct feeling MJ called that shot.

      Coach Clifford intimated he liked Winslow much more and Cho kept repeating after the draft (when asked who picked Kaminsky) it was a collaborative decision and that he wouldn't talk about Winslow.

      It's hard though...especially when I got my neighbor playing their franchise across the street...maybe I will occupy myself with Glamore Magazine.

        That was the word

        The Celtics were willing to give up SO MUCH to draft Justise Winslow at No. 9 ... but Michael Jordan held onto the pick so he could take Frank Kaminsky.


        The FO has failed as a collective group here in Charlotte, and that includes MJ, he's not to blame for everything but he's had a part....it is what it is.

        That said, Frank is coming a long....don't know how many watch Hornet games but there's some solid progress there...

          Michael can't even build a wardrobe.

            I wouldn't say failed as they have a good team...Batum being out off/on and Jefferson's MCL has really hurt their already limited depth. The team couldn't afford to deal with these injuries.

            I've watched Frank and I'm still not enamored. He seems like an 8-year old playing youth basketball with no direction on offense sometimes. He has gotten better than season start, I'll give him that.

              I wasn't even blaming Jordan, or a part of this conversation. I was just making a joke because MJ did neither of what King said in his points. I wasn't even being serious really.

              I actually like Frank, I think he was a smart and safe pick and we all know Jordan's track record of picking guys with hit or miss risks hasn't worked out.

              That said I would have taken all the picks, especially since if they really wanted Frank they likely could have still made a move to get him after the trade for all those picks. But in the grand scheme of things it's no biggie. It's just funny because of his draft history, mainly just because Kwame started him off so badly lol.

                Was at work, and caught Draymond and Metta getting into it a bit out of the corner of my eye. Now THAT right there is a potential matchup.

                  Yeah was hoping that one went further

                  Also Steph hurt his shin again and left a little early but the game was way out of reach by then anyway.

                    Who is "we"?

                    ONE person said something about it. Nobody is calling that man out. Ain't nobody worried or caring about what he is or isn't doing there.

                      I was speaking in general because you and I both know damn well the "lol MJ sucks as an exec" every time something goes wrong narrative is alive and well in the sports world.

                      And Speedy specifically lead off his post with "MJ is so terrible at basketball decisions" in what universe is that not calling him out? It's okay to sit this one out Pack, we know how you feel on the topic when you think somebody is caping too hard for Jordan. I can't speak for 23 but I can tell you I'm not caping for him if he deserves to get called out I'll be right there with y'all doing it.

                          Fortunately, I pay very little attention to lazy sports narratives, such as those.

                          And Speedy specifically lead off his post with "MJ is so terrible at basketball decisions" in what universe is that not calling him out? It's okay to sit this one out Pack, we know how you feel on the topic when you think somebody is caping too hard for Jordan.
                          Lol sit what out? Was never a big deal to me. I told OJ to sit out because he never wins those discussions. Doesn't have nothing to do with anyone "caping".

                            So apparently Doc Rivers put Josh Smith and Lance Stephenson on the trading block

                            Guy doesn't have a clue what he's doing. He's not the type to be a coach and GM. I'd even say that should never happen anyway
