Ray,
You really don't like Banks this much?

Does this analysis sound accurate?
"You were able to determine all this after two games and sporadic minutes
for a guy who doesn't know the system and needs lots of developmental time
to boot. "

Sure a preseason is longer than two games and only has sporadic minutes for
a guy who doesn't know the system and needs lots of development time to
boot, but wouldn't it be fair to be a bit more consistent and trust DA for
making a good draft pick, not unlike the trust you have in him for making
the big trade earlier this week that you seem to be so pleased with?  Where
is the consistency when passing out criticism and praise.  DA was and
apparently still is a bum for drafting Banks, but he has redeemed himself in
whatever moment you live in when discussing the Walker trade? Will you
possibly once and for all take responsibility for your bombastic predictions
and analysis if by chance, and god forbid it does, this trade puts us into
the lottery this season, like it certainly could?

Good job with this deluge of input on every single email that has a hint of
disagreement with you, and frankly it isn't very becoming of you to all of
sudden be a kiss you know what to those people on the list that respond to
your posts in a positive way.

Where is the consistency?
Greg
