At least we were able to stop the Great Hassan Whiteside from putting up another Double-Double and 4 block game. 

I like this. While it may be true that all the "others" set it up so Vivek had the opportunity to step in at the last moment, he did step in and in a big way. His off court stuff has been great. Even the increase in ticket prices is an understandable evil if it wasn't for the basketball side of the operations having mucked everything up and doing it grand fashion.Much as I hate to be taking Vivek's side right now, or countering your point because I generally see eye t0 eye with you and I can't say that about so very many people ... would you go ahead and name some of the stable you refer to?
The vote was only 22-8. 7 votes from oblivion, and again... we know Mastrov wanted the team bad - he had bid before. If he only needed to scratch up a few bucks, he would have - and he would be chairman. I don't think it is fair to deny Vivek a substantial share of credit for 'saving the team'. He worked hard, presented well, came up with the dough... come on give the guy a little credit.
So it's a success because the front office fooled Rudy Gay? Well, I guess that's where we've sunk to.
I am about 99.994% positive that Gay would not be here without Malone. The chemistry he developed with Cousins over the summer, in addition to what he saw (and what we saw) from Malone was worth it for him to say, "Hey, Sac is turning the corner! I want in."
Hell, they barely let the ink dry on Gay's contract before canning Malone.

How do you figure?This is axiomatically wrong.
Because you wrote it.How do you figure?
Because knowledge and wisdom are not related to each other. It's like saying that someone with a high IQ also has street smarts; maybe he does, and maybe he doesn't. The notion that intelligence and common sense are inherently interrelated is so absurd that it can't be taken seriously.How do you figure?

Indeed, haven't you ever played Dungeons and Dragons and rolled up that high intelligence/low wisdom master wizard with sloppy impulse control??

I'm halfway tempted to volunteer for the Consortium, just so that I can have some input into these Girls. Second time this season I have come away feeling very underwhelmed about the selections.Let's be honest. Nobody is gonna check this thread for the grades. Just post the girls for those who are interested and forget the rest.

Maybe they aren't the same thing, but I still think there is a very strong correlation between the two.Because knowledge and wisdom are not related to each other.

It's really getting frustrating now. The reason to fire Malone, was to finally install some kind of NBA offense, besides handing the ball to DMC.
This didn't happen, leaving us with a still offensively challenged team, relying on it's superstar at all costs, not even getting him into position to score an easy basket most of the time. Furthermore our defensive mindset, which really was the essence of Malone's coaching, faded away.
We are still terrible on offense and worse on defense.
I'm sick of it. At some point we got to realize that we demand too much of DMC. Yes he is a franchise player, but he can't do it all alone and be effective doing it.
Just stop - man up on defense and finally run an offense, that comes close to NBA level for gods sake.
How about hiring an NBA caliber head coach?
So why is pace so Important? The bulls has some of the slowest pace games but still comes out as a playoff team each and every year
It's the conning of Rudy Gay that makes me extremely angry.
Maybe they aren't the same thing, but I still think there is a very strong correlation between the two.
Knowledge can create wisdom. For example, the phrase "history repeats itself". Having knowledge of history gives you more wisdom in regards to the future.Anyone can gain knowledge. Pick up a book.
Wisdom can't be checked out at the library.

So with the knowledge that "pace" means so little in regards to success in the NBA and that often times the team with the highest pace are among the most non-competitive teams in the league, as any NBA historian will tell you, there isn't much wisdom in putting something such as "pace" at the top of one's priorities, is there?Knowledge can create wisdom.
