While you have a very solid frontcourt in Jefferson-Garnett, your defense at every other position is suspect at best and after trading away last year's first round pick and a very solid SF prospect in Brewer as well as the #4 pick in the draft, how do you justify to your fans the idea of being average now at the price of your future? Surely the idea of Hibbert-Jefferson-Brewer-Foye-next years pick is a much better option then what you're stuck with now, and after shipping Garnett off last year just to bring him back seems to send the message that you don't have a direction for this franchise.

As far as KG goes, I was not the GM that made the trade of KG for Al Jefferson, Green, Gomes, etc but that trade netted us 1 of the best Centers in the game so I will not and can not knock it. With that said though I was approached about reaquiring KG and all it cost me was the 4th pick in my mind. Because McCants never lived up to his potential and we now have Luke Walton to replace him and then you have Corey who was never really impressived us when he was handed the starting SF spot last year and we went on to replace him with Walton, Roby and Williams if you give me the option of having those 3 or COrey Brewer, I will be taking the former everytime.
As for Hibbert, when he gets to be a 24 and 12 type player let me know please. Kevin is only 31 and still has plently of good years left in him. You question the message to our fans, our message is we are going to win this year and for years to come with our young great talented core in Al, Randy, Telly, Luke, Roby and then you add Kevin to that I am really exicited about this year and our future.

Do you think you're a legitimate playoff contender going into the season?

I dont see how I cant be considered one the best teams in the NBA muchless just the West. There is only 1 team that has a good a frontcourt as mine and I would take my guys over his youngsters. Add Luke Waltons improved play @ the 3 along with young star Randy Foye then you have a solid core to make a run with. One problem we may or may not have to fix is PG. Jordan and Telly played extremely well in the preseason but they dissapointed me in the opening week of the season. They will get some more time to showcase themselves but we will not wait around for them with the way the rest of this team is playing. If we arent a top 5 seed in the West then I wouldnt be extremely shocked.
