I never said anything about us getting Oden. Although given that we should have been in intetnional rebuild mode by that time, would have been nice to have had a few more ping pong balls in the race.
I am talking about the entirety of Geoff's soft little tenure in Sacramento. Finesse finesse finesse finesse and oh, maybe let's add a little more finesse. And then the big bully on the block comes along and kicks sand in our face, and gee, its such a shock. You don't get a soft label stuck to your franchise for ten years straight, some of them even good years, by accident.
Our young bigs are our young bigs, and they are a significant part of any hope we have as a franchise. But there is absolutely positively 100% no doubt what needs to be added to our frontcourt before we're going to scare anybody. And that's size and toughness. As oh, half of this little fan board was able to easily diagnose that over the summer. And for years for that matter.

I guess we have diametrically opposing views on this. This isn't a junior high school tryout. This is the NBA. If Donte Greene isn't seeing court time, I'm going to believe there's a reason. And considering how disappointing he's been thus far (especially for a #5 pick that Houston had no real problem getting rid of), I have to think it's more likely his own fault than Westphal's... I've yet to hear or read anything that says Donte Greene is doing anything to impress anyone.
Fixed.
I don't care about pre-season wins. Never have. I want to know that they're working on finding the right combinations of players, that the players are getting to know each other in real game situations, and that if nothing else, we're going to see a TEAM this year instead of a bunch of guys who look like they found a box of matching jerseys.

He warrants playing time because we traded our best player Artest for him.hes young and He needs court time.. so what if he fails out there at the start.. at least hes getting the experience to turn that failure into success next time around. he dosent need to see kenny thomas taking all his minutes especially since kenny hasnt gotten off the bench for like 4 years.

If I remember correctly, the reason we didn't get that pick was because we beat the clippers at the end of the year cuz Muss needed to go out a winner before getting fired. We lose that game and we end up ?7th? which is where Portland was when they won the lottery.
But everything else you said was spot on.

Oh please. Saying he "deserves" playing time is bogus to begin with, especially when you're using the Artest trade as a rationale. Greene had chances last year and he was singularly UNIMPRESSIVE. Face it; he could easily be the Joe Kleine of this team, except that we didn't actually burn a high draft pick on him. Houston did. We just inherited him when we finally found someone to take Artest off our hands.
