Time To Let Rich Cho Go?

[Implied Volatility]

I have to laugh at the mention of Barnes. I am a huge UNC fan but there is no way I'd take Barnes over a healthy MKG. I also wouldn't take Beal after seeing how MKG looked in the few games he played this season.. And Biz (2011) wasn't even in the same draft as Drummond (2012).  Regardless, 8 teams passed on Drummond because he failed to live up to the hype at UCONN. And looked disinterested in basketball at times on the court.

"over a healthy MKG"....took the words out of my own mouth.

Ok I actually wanted Barnes or Drummond in those drafts. Even with the injury issues I am holding out faith that MKG can come back. I also don't believe in Drummond. I know he is good, but I can't overlook the FT shooting. Guys like Drummond and Deandre Jordan can't be in at the end of a close game. So I still think MKG can be the 2nd best player in the draft. 

Great Picks: Kemba 

Good Picks: Zeller & Vonleh (netted us Batum)

Ok Picks: Biz, Jeff Taylor, PJ (netted us Lee): Both played ok for us over the years until Taylors injury and tbh a lot of us wanted to resign Biz. I know I did

Bad Picks: Trading away Tobias Harris for Biz,

Incomplete: Frank because he is a rookie. MKG because of injuries

Tobias Harris? really. Milwaukee told Charlotte to draft him for them the same way Milwaukee drafted Biz for Charlotte. You can't use that as a bad pick and use Biz as a 'ok pick' because Tobias was never a true charlotte draft pick.

* Kings drafted Biz, Milwaukee drafted Jimmer , Charlotte drafted Tobias and they all were apart of a 3-team trade.. the point still remains Tobias was drafted by Charlotte on orders by Milwuakee

Okay again if we had good drafts over the last 4 years and had better scouting during that time period we are looking at a championship caliber team and home court advantage possibly throughout the whole playoffs. To me building through the draft is always going to be the most important way to build a winning team over a long period of time. Unless you are in a big market and then free agents can do the trick with a few good picks sprinkled in here and there.

We just improved 14 wins from the previous season, have won consecutive playoff games after a 14-year drought. We are doing this without MKG, our most important player.

Could Cho have made better draft picks? Absolutely. But you can't deny where the team is right now because of the roster that was built basically on the fly last offseason through various means. He's still money on the trade market and the Kemba, Marvin, and Lin deals are absolute bargains.

There's a chance for the franchise to have stability for the first time ever when we bring our FAs back this offseason. Guy isn't going anywhere. Overreaction thread at its finest.

Well, he's also holding the broom he got out after Game 2, so...

Nah I let it go. I am by far not the only one who thought sweep after game 1 and no doubt after game 2. Rich Cho has hurt us in the draft badly and it is a legitimate gripe.

This thread would have been great last year, not after the best season in fourteen years...

You mean a thread about us getting swept after 14 years without a playoff win? I am happy I was wrong but I had a legitimate reason to feel a sweep coming on. Either way go Hornets.

He still needs to go.
