IMO,

Shammond is no match for KA, not even close.

The Baker trade is and was a disaster.

Potts contributed much more than the Faker.

Baker has some genius talent? Yes, stealing $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

This team will never be Championship quality with this group.

Kedrick has no clue therefore not getting playing time.

OB wants wins, yes, amazing huh??

Trade Kedrick for an established player? That would be the equivalent to the
Manhattan purchase from the Indians.

Wallace sucks.
