How does Cho still have a job?

This hurts to read:

"The Hornets would indisputably be in a better spot had they grabbed Boston's offer of four first-rounders, including what turned out to be the No. 3 pick in June's draft, instead of using the No. 9 pick last year on Frank Kaminsky. They flipped the No. 22 pick for Marco Belinelli because they knew another team would blow away Courtney Lee, and wanted a replacement locked into a cost-controlled deal. I'd still rather have the No. 22 pick."

If that offer was made to the spurs or thunder it would have been perfect because they are great finding talent in the mid to late round while Charlotte has struggled picking in the top 10, so picking a guy you really like makes more sense than to select 2 to 3 late to mid round guys you don't really like. look at Boston how many game changers have they drafted in the last 3 years? Reportedly Boston offered many teams the same package and they declined because that package of picks isn't nearly as lucrative as it seems .

Who are these magical players that some of you seem to refer back to from this deal. Last year after the 10th pick the draft was done with Winslow. 

 

The number 3 pick would have had a chance to play but still not a team changer . All the other picks were trash mid late rounders worth no value thats why no team took boston up on any offer and they had to use most the picks on over seas players. 

Im not the biggest fan of frank but ill take him with a year of seasoning over anyone we would have took at 3 this year.

If Devin Booker was still there at #16 (Celtics pick) It would have been perfect but after Booker who would have got playing time on the Hornets last year?

So a guy we drafted is better than higher & more draft picks bc we suck at drafting? Makes sense.

Who does the Hornets pick at #3 if they had the celtics pick?

I wanted Winslow, but if MKG stays healthy it's kind of a useless pick.  So Frank makes sense, if he continues to progress.

On another bright note, having the third pick in this Draft would be sort of useless.  Unless we Drafted Kris Dunn.  But in that sense, it wouldn't make any because we have Kemba.  Sigh.  It would've been a lose/lose to make that trade.

Kris Dunn comes to mind. I'd take most of the options between 3 & 9 this year over Frank.

How does he develop here as Kemba's backup? Name me the options and how they fit on the Hornets

I like Kemba, but he's a career 40% shooter. That doesn't take us to the next level. If we had a chance to develop a better option and didn't take it, we deserve to stay a non-contender.

I get your point, but he's super cheap to keep right now.  That's why they're fine with him.

NBA fans get way too caught up in a rings or bust mentality. Firing Cho would be really, really stupid and it's amazing seemingly everyone is on board with it.

 

I agree

i may be wrong but at the time that that offer was made, wasn't it suggested that the picks were heavily protected anyway? i'm sceptical that the brooklyn pick would have not had a top 5/10 protection on it?

in a hypothetical situation, it could be suggested that Kaminsky may still have been available with the #16 pick last year... it was probably unlikely, but i remember at the time being disappointed that we didn't take the offer. 

if we had taken the offer, i imagine we would have gone big this year - my choice would have been bender (which would have been a cost effective way of filling the center spot this year, but based upon the amount of minutes we play our rookie's (let alone 19 year old rookies!) i cant see the hornets having the patience, or with respect the ability, to develop him into a starting calibre center

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      KC has a very good defense this year. It is 5th overall. Yes, still worse than last year, but their offense is considerably worse. Their passing D may be their "weakness" but they still allow fewer than 20 ppg. BY completed several deep passes yesterday, and he was able to threaten downfield in ways he didn't seem capable of before the benching. I'm not necessarily worried about his ability to connect deep anymore. What to me was impressive was that he did all this without a run game. We used the pass to set up what little running success we had. Wild.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Solid and fair assessment.   I will say, one of the big things I noticed yesterday was that he wasn't shy to step up into the pocket in the face of pressure.  He's trusting the IOL.  And they took care of Chris Jones yesterday.  We had clean pockets but also good success rate vs. pressure which just hasn't been the case with Bryce.   If he has more confidence the OL gets it done and he can navigate and step up for throws, that's huge.  It's one of the biggest things that's held him back.  He was previously bailing quickly and just too easily throwing away or making dead plays.     He was finding his 2nd to 3rd reads within structure/without bailing in the pocket.  That was nice to see, as much concern I have with him.  And the overall limitations will always be there. Time to back it up this week against the Bucs.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Suddenly the Cowgirls look like our best chance for a win remaining. I think the Bucs are playing better than the Falcons of late.  Our lone game versus the dirty birds is in the ATL where we always struggle.  The Cardinals are marginally better than I thought they would be. We are not beating the Eagles, they are starting to roll. I'm saying two at most, next week at home versus the Bucs and the Cowgirls.
