RE: Kedrick's playing time

["Berry, Mark S" <berrym@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I can agree with that. I guess I was almost over it, especially when Wallace
made the great Delk-Rogers trade. But then he pulled the Baker trade, which
I honestly think was the dumbest sports trade in recent memory, and all the
bad feelings just got stirred up again. It's not about who I wanted them to
draft or who anyone else wanted them to draft. It's about who they DID
draft. They get paid to make those evaluations and decisions, and they
should be held accountable when they do it poorly. 

And I think we're jumping the gun if you're suggesting Kedrick is an
all-defensive team type player at this point. Let's not go crazy.

Well like I've said, All Stars are relatively a dime-a-
dozen in comparison. You get five or six new guys every 
year. 

If you can find a potential All Defensive talent (only 10 
instead of 24 named every year) you did well. Especially  
on a team with two young guys good for 50ppg. It almost 
always translates into a winning record too.

Or put it this way: you can't keep complaining. Wouldn't 
we be complaining even if they had drafted the players WE 
wanted to draft (you liked Brendan Haywood, others liked 
Diop or Rodney White and so forth).

We have to move on to the next thing already. These 
players are what we have and that's that. We went from no 
playoffs to the ECF, we have a 12ppg starter in Delk, and 
we have a defensive talent in Kedrick. Its beating a dead 
horse, from my perspective. 

I hope Chris Wallace gets replaced too and we find 
someone better. But let's stop carping already about the 
same moot subjects. Let it be implicitly understood that 
we didn't always support the decision to draft or trade 
for them, many moons ago. But at the same time get over 
it and move on. We both want to support what we have and 
hope they do well.
