Bucks Vs Timberwolves (10/17/09) Game Thread

Post #161 » by **paulpressey25** » Mon Oct 19, 2009 7:15 pm

I liked Noah a lot and thought he'd be just what we needed for a "win-now" team to compliment CV and Bogut. But that said, at the end of the day when Yi was available, I was 100% behind that pick. He seemed to have the most upside and trade value.

Of course again another hindsight GM move, but we probably could have sent Yi to Chicago for Noah and something else of good value at the time. Or taken those Philly picks. Or the rumored Golden State discussions centered around Biedrins. Yi just had a boatload of value there for awhile. And now he's turned into Delfino and Kurt Thomas.

Are we forgetting that Noah flat out refused to work out with the Bucks?

yeah, we'd never ever ever draft someone who wouldn't work out for us, right?

right?

I actually don't think this regime would.

True, it was just an observation: Players who refuse to work out for certain teams are generally not culture changers.

IMO.

true, but apparently noah appealed to a team with a culture very much like we strive for with our own team...

Noah was drafted pre culture change.

wasn't he during the skiles reign?

As much as I disliked him as a person, I was clamoring for Joakim Noah. I thought he would be a Dan Gadzuric with a head on his shoulders. I would be a lot more optimistic about the bucks right now if we had him as part of our core

Damn, I was hoping no one would make that connection.

Completely wrecks that argument...

"Your Honor, I object!!!"

"On what grounds?"

"Because it's devastating to my CASE!"

A cookie for anyone who can name that movie.

My hobby is knowing every line in Jim Carrey movies. I have all of them memorized except for The Truman Show.

Nope, this one is a bit of a toughy. Hint: It stars Edward Norton
