Do not want. He has been irrelevant for awhile now...except with Shaq...and for all the wrong reasons.

Didn't McGee win the top prize on that show twice? Lol.

Good post. I am certainly not blind to Biz's limitations, but I am more forgiving of them since he is the age where many graduate college. Al being such a terrible defender with questionable effort certainly is a contrast to Biz who gave great effort. I see how that could cause many, including myself, to overvalue what Biz does, but until we add some shot blocking and rebounding inside, I will be disappointed in this move.

I don't want us on "Shaqtin a Fool"...

I recall Biz posterizing multiple people from catching lobs off pick and rolls. For those defending Al, how do you explain the improvement of this team, particularly the flow of the offense, when such an "offensive liability" like Biz was in the game? People need to see the big picture, including our front office. Detroit fielded a damn good team with Ben Wallace out there. Biz is not balanced, much like Big Ben, but he is elite in something; something that I believe was worth at least the 4 mil QO.

Don't have room for another stretch big perhaps...but no room for a rim protector? Screw logic I guess.

On top of it...how can a "defensive coach" not use this guy. Unbelievable. I would have rather jettisoned Clifford and his love for subbing players out right when they get hot...

Terrible move. After a pretty solid offseason, this kind of ruins it for me. I just want to make sure I have this straight.. We draft Biz at 18 years of age, knowing he is a project with high upside, then let him walk at the end of his rookie deal... How foolish. Waste of a draft pick then. Why draft a project before he reaches the age where he starts putting things together? In Biz, I saw a player that really came into his own, particularly when called upon to start when Al was hurt. He is one of the better post defenders in the league and blocks everything in the lane. I honesty do not see us replacing him with an equivalent player, let alone one that is as affordable. I'm about as butt hurt as someone can be about this. Very disappointed.

I read your comment as a slight against Laettner. Laettner was still a good player, so when you compared Frank's situation to Laettner's, you failed to slam Frank. Sure, I would rather have Webber than Laettner; I would also take Oak or Towns over Frank, but we weren't in a situation to draft them were we? All Frank did was go out there and beast every big he played against. Everyone knew they needed to stop him, but they couldn't. Sure Oak and Towns were freshmen, but they are both highly touted prospects, and Frank took care of them. Let's not forget that he had the foot speed and ability to win his matchup against WCS too...last time I checked, he wasn't a freshman, and he is projected as a premier post defender in the NBA. Since we drafted Frank, I rewatched both the Kentucky and Duke games, and against quality NBA bigs, with length, Frank won with an arsenal of post moves, outside shooting, and quick cuts to the basket. He might not be a perennial all star, but he will be able to play in this league. High floor is what I see, and unlike Cody, Frank does not lack confidence and aggression.

Laettner had a few years where he was an 18/8 guy, with a few assists. Long time starter in the league. If Frank can do that I'll be perfectly content.

The "highlight reel" link...is a link to a link that finally gets you to a video... Was this done for extra ad revenue for clicking multiple pages? That's the only reason this makes sense. I would rather you just tell us straight up. I don't mind clicking like 20 pages for you from time to time if that would help.

Someone needs to take this guy's keyboard...light it on fire...then sabotage his employment to ensure he has no money to buy another one...

I think I was initially butt hurt not over Winslow...but the fact that Mudiay was so close...just two picks before us. After some reports saying we were one of the teams looking to trade up for him, I really got my hopes up that he would be a Hornet. I think he is going to be a stud.

After sleeping it off, I reminded myself that he actually isn't slow, he just isn't an explosive athlete, and honestly at 7'1", he doesn't need to jump 40" in the air. His footwork is outstanding. His prior point guard experience allows him to handle the ball in a unique way for a 7 footer. He can put the ball on the floor a take centers off the dribble and has court awareness to drive and kick. Not many big men can run off screens and hit jumpers...Frank can. He lacks length, but I believe his mobility and footwork nullify any concerns there. He outperformed every "NBA" big he went up against. He won't be a great defender, but since Al is already the worst defensive big I have seen in my life, I'm sure I can deal with Frank. Just give me a guy that stays in position and gives effort. Frank will do that. There is more, but I'm tired of typing on my phone.

Would not totally be against this, especially if we use an MLE on a decent shooter in free agency. It is hard to argue with Oubre's physical ability and potential, however he does seem like a guy who will need to work on his game substantially.

I'm really hoping there is some chance we can move up in this draft to get a premium talent. There is a chance Okafor could slide to 4...I would move up to get him if the price is right.

Congratulations to GS. Like Kerr said, part of winning a championship is luck with health. That is just part of the big picture of course, but big enough for him to mention on national television in his first post game interview.

​Not that simple pal.

​If the player willfully takes a step back, then that becomes the line of scrimmage. Forward progress only works when forced backward by an opposing player. However, no matter how you slice it, you can't throw a forward pass unless you are on offense behind the original line of scrimmage.

​New to the game?

Top 5 is where you want to be in this draft. I don't see a way we get there without giving up at least a future first, and knowing us...that pick would be a lottery selection.

​I'm not one of these people, but the reason is obvious. Winning fixes everything. There is much more to a player than his FG percentage.

That Cleveland team was something else. Hard not to root for them, at least in this game. They wanted this game more than GS and they deserve this win.

​This is true. What Curry had going for him is that he succeeded when many doubted his ability to perform in the NBA. That gives him a hate pass. Literally everyone expected Lebron to go HAM in the league, so people get jealous and pitch a fit and try to bring him down. Then there is the "He isn't better than Jordan so he sucks" crowd that operates on solid logic... *rolls eyes*

​I'll take anyone else...thanks...
