The only thing that's missing is the aviators.

Did the Warriors really screw up by winning? I think if they drop out of the top 6 they swap picks?

Chandler Parsons and Goran Dragic look ridiculously similar.

The Wolves without a real playmaker (Rubio) are a doormat.
With, and as young as they are, the Wolves were fighting for a playoff spot.

On track to be the worst team in NBA history.

25% chance at a future potential superstar big man in Anthony Davis ... Yeah, I'd say he's doing just fine.

Thats gonna be a 3 to 4 game suspension. It should be suspended for the entire year including the playoffs.

Positioning himself to draft Anthony Davis is about all you can ask for.

A more competitive team and a few more wins would have been nice for the fans and the organization.
Charlotte could have won twice as many games as they did and still have been the run away team for worst in the NBA. (I don't think being the worst in history of the NBA gives them any greater chance in the lottery)

Why? I mean shitty is shitty whether it's 7 wins or 18 or whatever. If I was a fan of that team (are there any Bobcat fans?) I'd be happy that the team is doing all it can to get the best shot at the number one pick instead of dicking around at the back of the lottery where that team has been living for years.

I think the Bulls have the Bobcats pick, but protected.

Bobcat fans still exist. I think that's the true test of a fan base. Are you there when your team really needs your support or are you just a fair-weather fan?
It sucks for Charlotte to have such a terrible organization. When the Hornets were there they regularly led the league in attendance, especially in the mid-90s. They were really fun to watch when they had Zo, Johnson and Bogues. I still keep up with the Bobcats, even though the Blazers are my first team.

I think you answered the question, if they have fans. They aren't even trying to appease the few fans they have. The team already has the best shot at number 1, by a long shot.
How does doubling the win total hurt or putting something that resembled a team hurt? Got nothing against Cho, but anyone can do what Cho is doing this year. Hell if the goal is to have the top chance at the number 1, I can beat Cho's 7 wins in a season, even in a full season. There has got to be more than trying to lose every game, IMO.

The goal was to be really shitty so they could get the best pick available. The GM has no control over whether a team can pull out a couple wins. Cho has been on the job less than a year anyways. Hard to blame him for Charlotte's years of ineptitude as a franchise.

True, but this has been a monumental, possible top NBA historically bad season. GM gets some blame if the team is worst in history, right?
I get being a bad team and being the worst team to increase the odds of the lottery (think it is bad practice but I get it). I don't get being the worst team in history or even something along those lines. No point for that, IMO.

IMO, Cho knows his shit. He was the one who told Paul Allen to burn this piece of shit roster to the ground, only to get fired, and proven right. He landed a lottery pick last year for Stephen Jackson, and while be forced to build on a roster he didn't believe in, here in Portland, traded two picks for an all star SF

I agree.
I was listening to the radio the other day on a national show and they were talking about the Bobcats and how Jordan's a disaster as an owner. Well anyways, they had a long time beat writer on and he was talking about Cho for a minute and he said Jordan has a good GM in place. He said don't be fooled by Cho's short stop in Portland. Because Cho was ultimately advocating what the mangled Blazers front office is currently doing, he was just a year ahead of the game.
I kinda smiled when I heard that.

Ha. Nice.
Also, unlike a lot of people, I think Kemba Walker and Bismack Biyombo will both be solid pros. Add in Davis or MKG, and they could be a player in a year or two

Well first you thought it was a good idea to compare Utah to the Blazers as you acknowleged that you thought Utah had good management. I noticed Utah is fighting for the 8th seed in a year they have no chance to win a championship . . . so I'm guessing you are no longer a belief in the way Utah runs an organization.
Liking what Cho is doing is consistent with what you think the Blazers should do . . . hit rock bottom to get the best draft picks possible. But if "building" the worst team in history is the right path, I want to root for the team on the wrong path. I hope the day never comes where the Blazers are threatening the worst record all time (while I am still paying for tickets).
I have nothing against Cho, but if he thinks he is going to have another league high scorer handed to him through the draft, he is going to be disappointed.
