    I don't like Rudy's offense.

    I don't like Cuttino's game.

    I don't think we have much depth in the backcourt.

    But the bottom line for this team's failures are the series of missed draft picks ... particularly the Euro's which we have wasted picks on in the first round to avoid salary issues ... that has cost this team a chance to be a contender.

    We can build around Yao/Franchise. We can't do it without the benefit of better draft strategies ... IMHO.

    Remember, Desmond Mason, Jamaal Magloire, and Quentin Richardson were all passed on for Jason Collier. Eduardo Najera, as much as I loathe the man, was dealt for Dan Langhi. Mirsad Turkcan and Bryce Drew were taken over Rashard Lewis. Rodrick Rhodes may have been one of the dumbest picks I have ever seen.

    You call taking Cuttino with the 42nd pick a "miss"?

    You just lost all credibility.

    You are correct, of course. Don't let the bashers get you down.
    They don't want to hear the truth - they can't handle the truth!
    Or- they can't handle hearing it Again. and again. and again.

    Ok- it does get old.

    Maybe we should create a forum to vent people's frustration.

    It would cut out all the useless threads that state the same thing over and over again.

    We can call it the "Useless Forum."

    this is so stupid. the past 12 years we've draft better, per our position, than 90% of the teams out there. talent is not the problem!
