All Hail Cho The Great and MJ The Magnificent

Cho gonna Cho.  MJ gonna MJ...

 

I'm not sure this offseason could've started any better, and furthermore, I think MJ is finally gonna use his pull to bring a bonafide, league-recognized superstar this offseason - he has stated that's what he wants to do, and we made several moves to open up more cap space tonight...  He's going for it.  At the very least, if we miss out on one of the superstars, then we definitely will sign several key contributors to modest contracts.

 

And props to MJ for letting one of his buddies walk when it came to building this team...  It's amazing, but you can tell the difference it made this year when there was only one cook in the kitchen, and that being Cho (with MJ's blessing, obviously).

 

This draft was direct, decisive, and for the first time, felt like it filled needs and showed a clear direction in mind with each pick.

 

I'm just amazed.  And not only were the picks amazing and the way it all came together (Vonleh falling to 9th, Hairston lasting not till just the 24th pick, but the 26th pick), but then Cho rapes and pillages the Heat for more picks, then turns around and dumps Haywood while gaining more cap space to sign a superstar.

 

This is amazing.  That is all.

I agree. I just wanna say this. It was epic when people raged when pj wasn't picked at first hahahah. I know how it is first hand to overreact during a draft and it was funny to me. Lol.

But yes i love the way this franchise is headed. On a upward trend and can get much higher if we can bring in a melo or superstar. I will atleast give props to cho and MJ if they just attempt to sign a big name. But yes. Obviously the best off season possible has started and can get even better.

You have to figure the rockets weren't gonna take hairston with the 25 pick since they have harden already.

The reason they didn't want him was because they didn't want to pay anyone with that pick. They took a foreign player to save them money to go after Melo. Cho knew they would take a foreigner so there was no way Pj would go to them.

By taking a foreigner, they can 'stash' him away for the future while he finished his contract in Europe. He just used smarts to dictate exactly what they would do.

Great draft. Vonleh is huge and great on the defensive and offensive ends. Also was 11-19 from three point last season. I can't believe he lasted til 9. He could have gone #1 in a lot of drafts. He is a legit star and PJ has a chance to be another James Harden type SG. He can completely take over a game and light it up. Plus some absolute genius moves were made. I hate helping Miami but it is what it is. Such a good draft. Vonleh and PJ will look so good in purple and teal. Bring on FA. Can't wait for this season

    • Where did I once say we should draft him because he's a projected Top 5 pick?   That's one of my many problems with you, your reading comprehension skills are very poor (and/or you just don't care to use your brain, one of the two).  I solely used that to point out that me pushing T-Mac isn't some absurd homerism, that at least I'm pushing someone who is deserving of a Top 5 draft pick. And despite me explaining it to you numerous times, you still seem to not grasp how QB's get placed in mock drafts vs draft grades.  They are treated entirely different in mock drafts to any other position, because of how teams generally treat them in the draft because of how important the position is. Literally any other position except QB, mock drafts generally follow draft grades with some team needs factored in.  But with QB's, draft grades are generally disregarded and they ALWAYS put a few QB's at the very top of the draft, because that's just usually what happens.  The exact same thing happened in 2022 with guys like Pickett and Willis widely being Top 10 picks in mock drafts, only for Pickett to fall to what, around 20?, and Willis going in the 2nd round (and even being the 3rd QB if I remember correctly too). The overwhelming majority of draft experts are saying there isn't a high first round grade on these QB's, but they still get mocked there because they're trying to predict how the draft will actually go. That's been my point the entire time, reaching for a QB in a bad QB draft when you have a roster as depleted of talent as ours, does not tend to work out well. And I've never said I'm not open to other players, I've very explicitly said that if a QB or DE stands out come draft time, I'm open to that discussion.  That I'd be open to Hunter as a CB but I prefer a WR over a CB at the top of the draft.  But we're also not talking about the 15th pick here where there could realistically be all sorts of possible picks to discuss.  With the first pick, there really would only be a small handful of options, T-Mac is head and shoulders above any other given our current roster and state of the franchise in general.
    • TMac is good, but he isn't pick 1 on a WR good.  Last year he would be below Nabers and Williams.  This year you could argue Hunter is the better WR.  WR at 1 better be a Calvin Johnson not a WR that disappears some games in college...
    • So because he's a projected top 5 pick he's should be the guy we draft.   Yet you say the other 2 QBs who are projected top 5 picks are not worth it because you think they aren't that good.   That's my problem with you. You just seem to only care about Tmac. I have yet to see you suggest anyone outside of Tmac. At least I'm open to other prospects.
