Do Not Sell My Personal Information
another scrub to add to the fire in the dumpster.
 
Koby really disappoints me with who he decides to trade for/acquire. Doesn't seem like he has a good eye for talent and need.

He was never seen around the nba as someone qualified to run a franchise when he was elevated to GM. Once Dan loses his patience about 12 months to 18 months from now, he will probably be fired anyways so Dan can find his next victim.

Don't know him very much and hadn't followed his career very closely. I just know that he hasn't been good so far to say the least and I also know that it's not easy working under Dan because he meddles, so things need to be taken with a grain of salt. Although, his acquisions fall largely on him...don't see how Dan could be a part of it.

Until this franchise gets a qualified front office, and coaching staff and Dan simply fronts the money the rebuild is in great danger. Remember history tells us many franchises experience failed rebuilds after going to the bottom before they figure it out. With the new lottery odds, this is even more scary.

These guys actually thought they were going to be at or above 500 with a team built around Kevin Love in his 30s. I want you really take the time to think about that. You trust these guys to fix this roster? I don’t think many realize how much trouble this franchise is in ...

The new lottery odds certainly hurt us. Too early to say by how much.

Once you draft you also need a stable atmosphere to let the players grow and develop. Please go back and think about the last rebuild before Lebron came through the door. It was going horrribly bad for 4 years and if Waiters, Irving and Wiggins had all shared a locker room, Blatt would have had to check himself into a mental hospital by April of his first year.

Don't really want to drown in negatives. Thinking about it deeply and negatively accomplishes nothing. Let's just see how everything unfolds, and in the meantime you can/we can criticize the moves that are currently being made. Yes, it's not an ideal situation at all because of a bunch of different reasons, but you never know how things unfold. Nonetheless, it sucks that I can't confidently have any trust in who's in charge. Shouldn't really be this way, but it is what it is for the time being.

Yes anything can happen. But I think the astute members of the board would all have a better outlook if we had a first class front office and a young coach in place who was respected around the nba. Just getting a top 5 pick is not going to solve the major problems the organization currently has. It is not about being negative, but honest about the problems that need to be adressed so that the team has a realistic chance to succeed over the next 5 years.

I think for certain slots on the roster a GM needs to look in certain pools of players. I think Koby has tried to look in other better pools and have basically come back to the proper pool to find it depleted.

I think Koby has tried to over reach in situations for players. Like we were interested in Shane Larkin and Shabazz Napier for our 3rd PG spot, those two guys wanted to be backup PGs and be in the rotation. Napier got that with the Nets and Larkin went to Europe for what I presume to be a starting job. Those guys want to play and prove themselves with a bigger role, which we could not offer, at least not immediately.

I hope it something he has learned from and will just trust his evaluation of players to build from the right pools. The summer league rosters he has put together has had talent and is really where he should have been trying to fill our two way and 15th spot on the roster.
 
This guy was only brought in as an apparent need while Hill is injured, the truth is they have better options in Canton and this guy is just part of the tank.
It is not a reflection of poor decision making on Altman's part at all.
 
Was that a 2way euro step tonight?
