Are people still ranting about Olynyk being taken over Giannis?
for some posters here over reaction and hindsight are ways of life.

Most of these new threads seem fitting for a night that a new Ebola story breaks...

Edit: Or maybe the other way around?.....

The fact Danny drafted him over either of the other two should be a fireable offense. Period. The. End.

(to quote the movie Stripes...)
"Relax Francis"
Before a game on Christmas against the Pacers, Bird told Chuck Person that he had a present for him. During the game, Bird shot a 3-pointer in front of Person. Immediately after releasing the ball, Bird said to Person, "Merry F!#*ing Christmas!" and then the shot went in.

So does that mean Sam Presti should be fired for drafting Steven Adams over Giannis?

I get it, I was actually on the Olynyk bandwagon and I'm starting to realize that, yes, we missed out on Giannis. But a "fireable offense"? Whatever you're smoking, I'd like to have two of those.

Okay, I do remember Schroeder being compared to Rondo in some mock drafts, but I don't see any similarities between them, honestly, so what did I miss?

There are a lot of posters on the ledge.

Even if he does, it makes even more sense not to draft him.

Why take someone who's potential is what we already have?

I remember the comparisons too...long wing span, big hands, good passer, etc.  But they are different...Schroeder can hit a free throw.

But does that mean that there needs to be a sky-is-falling thread every time someone scores 15 on us?  please...:)

I believe Gandhi is the only person who knew about real democracy — not democracy as the right to go and buy what you want, but democracy as the responsibility to be accountable to everyone around you. Democracy begins with freedom from hunger, freedom from unemployment, freedom from fear, and freedom from hatred.

I'm tired of people going back over the draft 3 years after the fact and picking out who we should have drafted. It's pretty easy to have an opinion with the benefit of hindsight.

 I won't respect your opinion on who we should have drafted unless you were saying that we should have picked that player before the draft.
DKC:  Rockets
CB Draft: Memphis Grizz
Players: Klay Thompson, Jabari Parker, Aaron Gordon
Next 3 picks: 4.14, 4.15, 4.19

I have a question about your avatar, sir - is it a Twinkie with hair follicles and glasses?
