* Two out of the last three trades were voted "bad", but not by wide margins.
* All four "Good Trades" were voted so by large margins
* We have roughly 20+ people that actively participate right now (unless some of you bastards registered twice to double your vote)

Thanks for that Carlos. Lots of lively conversation from these threads.

No problem Doper. Glad it generated some action on here. We really don't have much to talk about aside from the pending lottery/draft. It was an interesting look back for me - especially some of the older deals i.e. Martin/Ridnour. To be honest, going into it, I was thinking Flip might look much worse as the most recent deals were current in my mind. Maybe (hopefully), with more time we'll look back at the Payne and KG deals more favorably assuming they contribute next year. But I certainly understand why some are down on them as of this moment.

No Doubt. It is hard to see anything optimistically with the multiple years of losing. But I have been there since the beginning and remained a fan even through the Telfair years. Things have been trending up for a while and Flip has brought in a balanced approach to player development. I am looking forward to another season seeing Bazz's development along with the kids. If somehow Flip can organize one more vet as a free agent who has defense as a specialty I will be super pumped for next year.
