2003 is a long time ago. what about your record since drafting wall?

2003 is when Grunfail came.

Longest tenured GM without a ring.

At the bottom with CLE and CHA

Two winning seasons with a crappy conference doesn't fix Grunfeld having the team in the lottery half the time he's been at the healm

:dwillhuh:

so charlotte has the worse record in that time span, made less playoff appearances and havent won a game much less a series and you still are saying your front office is worse?

that doesnt make any sense

squandered picks

lost cap space

the wiz have been horrible

used 2 picks in 2011 and both are out of the league

before that traded the 5th pick for mike miller and randy foye

just terrible

Safe to say this trade has worked out a lot better for Charlotte than I or many people in here thought it would :whew:

agreed. definitely the short term winner here. long term is yet to be decided (if batum resigns with us and if vonleh busts or not). could possibly be a matter where both teams win

Exactly. We don't know how this trade will work out in the future. Vonleh is still developing.

honestly we can still take a pretty big L on this trade if batum leaves town and vonleh develops into a stud.

but right now batum is cooking and he says he loves charlotte so just gonna enjoy this season

By the time he develops he may not even be on your team anymore.

Vonleh can't even look like he belongs on the floor for two possessions in a row. And it isn't like he lacks an NBA body either - dude is built. He's just eating boogers on the court. Cliff was dead on about the guy. He's dumb as fukk.
