I'd go a step further. I genuinely would trade next years first rounder, unprotected, for new owners. We'd be so far ahead of where we are now if we had even average NBA owners.
There should be some rule preventing this from happening. They're stunting the development of the team. In over their heads, completely clueless. The only comfort comes from knowing that they can't keep up this charade forever. They are so stubborn that they'll likely hang on for another few years, but eventually they will be forced to sell. I can't wait for that day to come, and there will be no thank you's for them. I hope the door obliterates them on the way out.
Exactly. There's no commitment. Bring the guy in and see how he does in camp. This just pisses me off.
So Gavin goes around calling season ticket owners telling them how they should invest in the team, and then they turn around and pull this s*** again. Instead of investing potentially a minimal amount in a prospect, they go for cash, which we never see put to good use. Such a bad taste in my mouth.

For me, the choice was between T-Rob and Drummond. I never really considered Barnes, even though we have a gaping hole at 3.
Would like to claim that I watch very little college ball (only March Madness, and that too limited), so not offering any analysis. I did want to take a flyer on Drummond. He is exactly the kind of player we need, and if he develops, watch out.
I can however understand the concern about his work ethics and efforts. While we want him to be the next Admiral, he might turn into Kwame. So, picking T-Rob is justified in some way, and I think it was a good decision under the circumstances. I just hope Drummond doesn't grow up to make us regret this decision.

It's like what I heard on an NBA show: MKG is going to lose more games in one week with the Bobs than he has in his entire high school and college career. They need offense. BADLY. Trade them Thornton for an unprotected #1 next year.
Miller still not taken. He won't go undrafted though. Surprised no one has taken a chance on him, he's talented. O'Quinn could conceivably go undrafted - would give him a camp invite if he does. Machado should be taken, he's another one I'd love to have if he does.
We should have taken Kostas. Could have left him overseas for a year or two. There is literally no other possible reason why we would sell the pick other than the Maloofs being embarrassingly broke.
We are at the bottom of the salary floor. We shouldn't have to sell a 2nd rounder in order to re-sign Williams. Utter farce.
EDIT: Whoops, O'Quinn was drafted by the Magic. Nice pick by them.

Of course he would be horrible wiht anybody else who needs the ball in their own hands. He's great at what he does, but he's just about the most ball dominant player in the NBA, and he's lived virtually his entire career with teams respecting that and surrounding him wiht finishers ratehr than guys who like to work off the bounce.
