From an NBA team that had S. Jackson, G. Wallace, T. Chandler, R. Felton to a HS squad with B. Bijombo, E. Najera and C. Maggette.

Why and how do you to that? :bang:bang
Their front office in my opinion tore apart a pretty cohesive team by trading 2 players in their prime (G Dub and Chandler) for nothing. Then shipped their best player to Milwaukee for a guy like Maggette. What's the point of these trades? All of them were on more or less reasonable contracts, I would have S. Jaxx instead of Maggette for the same money every day of the year! OK, they might not have wanted to give Jaxx and Dub 4-5yr extensions, but at the same time there was no other alternative available. Is is better to pay the same amout of money to guys like Najera and Carrol and be dead-last in the league? This is just hilarious stuff... :lmao
I can understand that by trading Felton they wanted to open up more playing time for Augustin, but again: a) every team should have 2 good PGs, b) a team run by a rookie PG is always going to struggle, c) Augustin isn't good enough to be a 30+ min PG yet.
Secondly, by trading away your "big names" (I'm not saying any of them were real A-list stars) you automatically lose the trust of your fans, who...as we all know...vote with their feet. Empty arenas = less revenue for the team. :married:
I could easily overlook the drafting of Kwame and Morrison/May, but by destroying a team like the 2009/10 Bobcats cements the status of MJ as the dead-worst FO guy in the history of basketball. At least for me.
