Paxson is an idiot Options

1st we don't draft CDR and instead trade for some guy who probably won't ever play in the NBA. Then Paxson makes stupid comments about how they aren't going to rush Rose into the starting role. To me that suggests that he is going to keep Kirk but I could be wrong. I'm not against keeping Kirk but if we keep him he needs to be the SG not PG. He can play PG with the 2nd unit but we have to throw Rose out there for 30+ minutes and in a starting role.

You don't draft a player # 1 overall and then not throw them out there. Especially when the only way to really learn the PG position is to play and get comfortable with yoru teammates.

So we were supposed to draft another guard last night when we have half of a roster of them? I lost interest right about there.

Yes. You take the best player available regardless of your position needs. CDR is a good scorer/shooter with good size and good athleticism. Yeah we have too many guards but that could easily change with 1 or 2 trades. Plus Gordon could very well just play his last year out and screw us over. Then we'll only have Larry Hughes for 1 more year if he isn't traded. So what do you do then? I'd much rather have a stockpile of young guards vs not having any at all.

If Gordon leaves and Kirk is traded for a big then what are we going to do? We'll have Thabo & Rose and that's about it. Then we'll be looking for a free agent. I think CDR would have fit everything Vinny is going to try to do. Not to mention he is already comfortable playing with Derrick Rose. Maybe that's the true reason they didn't draft CDR. Maybe they didn't want Derrick Rose to have a friend to hang out with in Chicago.
