    Just steppin' up to 30,000 feet and reflecting.... it's been fun watching CD and Rudy change this team from the Barkley, Pippen, Hakeem aging team to a new and incredibly exciting team in only a few short years. All this without really bottoming out and without high draft choices. A lot of deft moves and great evaluation of talent for the most part. And they have created a franchise that players WANT to play for.

    Franchise (great low first round pick in Dickerson and second rounder Harrington keyed this deal), Mobley (@ #41 I think), KT @ ?# 22-23, taking a chance on Mooch when no one else could see what he could bring. Attracting two good FA's in SA and MoTay when others were offering more money. And now Griffin, Morris, Langhi.I think that Bull may be the only holdover. Great credit should go to the front office.

    Sure, they missed on a few, but what a tremendous makeover "on the fly." This team should be fun to watch for many years to come. [​IMG]

    What i like most about the 2-year rebuilding process is the fact that we didnt have to lose 50-60 games ang get high lotery picks.

    Smart trades, attracting free agents every year is what makes this organization one of the best!

    GO RUDY! GO CD!
