I'm less worried about the coach and more worried about not getting pick one or two.<BR/><BR/>I see us taking Oden, especially in light of West's latest quote: <BR/><BR/>"We need a big, tough rebounder and there is a kid in this draft that's a big, tough rebounder that's played on a great team."<BR/><BR/>He has been my slight preference for a while, partly because I never saw Durant play, and partly because you can't teach size.David Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12836285894552837634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1970612912558903293.post-43086283857973504292007-04-17T11:12:00.000-07:002007-04-17T11:12:00.000-07:00So now that West is officially done after the draf...So now that West is officially done after the draft. The team looks like it will be in Heisley's hands for the forseeable future and he is committed to spending less than 60 million a year I am ready to see your look into the future Mr. Jones. I have a couple scenarios in mind. 1) The dream scenario: we get the first or second overall pick and take Oden or Durant giving us a new face of the ranchise to work with Gasol and to a leser extent Gay. In the mean time we manage to hire the Sun's assistant and pick up a couple of role players in free agency (i.e. Darco or D-Mason or players along those lines, not too pricey with an upside). Now we have two All-Stars a new exciting coach and a chance to compete maybe not next year but for years to come. 2) The nightmare scenario: we get the third or fourth pick and end up with the ugliest man east of sam cassell or somebody like mike conley. We don't get one of the top coaches and we end up mired in mediocroty like the hawks praying for a lucky break at every draft. Heisley manages to sell the team before May first and the new owners won't pay enough to get free agents or keep the decent players we have.

Yes, he has had a career year, but it should be noted that the reason Chucky has had a career year is the increase in playing time. <BR/><BR/>No one ever doubted his talent (his speed and offensive ability are pretty impressive). The problem was that he is not the prototypical PG. If I were GM for an NBA team, I would definitely not want Chucky to be my floor general. He's selfish, takes too many shots and he turns the ball over way too much, especially in key situations. <BR/><BR/>That being said, he did have a tough role to fill with being the starting PG and he did a decent job.bkatzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08409167027799168899noreply@blogger.com
