Apology for the snark.

Flip was fired because there was a near mutiny. Go back and read the previous game recap before he was fired. And the team’s play reached a level they became a national laughingstock.

Cost is a major factor in every decision. He is not just trying to keep costs down. He is keeping costs down. Many of our trades include a noticeable cash component: either we are paid directly for the trade or we receive a veteran that we buy out saving future salary commitments. We were paid for Turiaf, We were paid for Yi, we bought out Iggy, We bought out Bibby. etc. When you are buying out better veteran talent and replacing it with cheaper, lesser veteran talent, money is the primary concern. Without spelling out every detail, I think you recognize that as a trend.

And our veterans make the minimum except Lewis of course. We are out of pocket maybe $4 million dollars for three veterans. You probably can find three veterans that would play for less than a million dollars per year. But overwhelmingly, the commitment to quality veterans is very light compared to every team in the league.

Do you think it is a coincidence that H was cut the week his contract would be guaranteed? Of course he was cut for money. That is exactly why he was cut this week and not last week or last month or some other time before.

Does he stay on the offensive half of the court when we are on offense or is he rushing back to guard an empty basket with no opposing players within half a court

If he sticks around the offensive half of the court, then he should be given a shot because our current starting center cant seem to know which half of the court he is suppose to be playing on.

in all seriousness, I did look up and saw his stats were not so great. But three games is not really a fair sample size, is it? I think he should have been given a chance. Everyone knows we need the help. You are mis-stating my position then arguing against it. Or is that what you meant by silly?

I love the Lazar Haywood comment. He was projected to go 57th but he went 30th….TO US!!! thanks for making my point LOL

Seriously?? You’re joking right?? The trade was announced, forget about agreed to, before the 30th pick came up. Unless Ernie and Kahn agreed to the trade, and when Ernie asked who Kahn wanted picked was told “I don’t really care, take whomever” then Ernie did not make that pick! But why let something dumb like reality get in the way?

He was in the D League like a week! He was sent in Jan and played in three games. lol

A simple google search will tell you that he was sent down on Jan 2, called back up on Feb 4, and played 10 games to go with a months worth of practices. But why let something dumb like reality get in the way?

Booker projected at 34. We had #30. The top teams are not looking for a Booker. They have them on the roster already. They are not that thin at the PF position.

Name on team that wouldn’t want trevor booker. And like I said being projected to go 34 by a mock draft website does not mean you actually will or should go there. But why let something dumb like reality get in the way?

We dont know. Why is it so hard to admit we dont know what a guy who got too few minutes to matter would evolve to. Why is it so hard to recognize we need major help at center.

I tend to trust the opinion of paid talent evaluators who get daily reports on his progress over a fan who only saw the few NBA minutes he got.

Why am I so hard on Ndaye when I know he probably was not the solution. Because Ernie can not draft, evaluate talent, or put together a team. So I trust my own eyes which you should too. Because since 2004, the only real potential starter EG has drafted is John Wall….maybe Booker one day if he develops a shot…did I mention since 2004?

Because the Blatche pick was terrible value for 49. And Nick Young, a lights out shooter who plays great defense was terrible for a mid first rounder. As was McGee, who for all his faults, was good value for the 18th pick. Seraphin is starting to look like a pretty good pick IMO and Booker was a steal. Mack is looking like a steal too. Vesely has a bright future, but you probably disagree there. And the Caron Butler and Antwan Jamison trades were definitely poor talent evaluation. As were both the Hinrich trades and the first Gil signing. But why let something dumb like reality get in the way?
