I’ve been silent and pondering the draft and the whole Shaq thing for a couple of days and now am ready to give all of you my thoughts. I know you’ve been anxiously awaiting my comments
Shaq trade good
Draft not so good
What? you want to know my reasons. Well I guess that’s fair enough
Yes, Shaq is 37, but he made the all star team last year. The turning point for me was when I heard that Kareem was the MVP of the Finals when he was 38 years old. Since Shaq was the original Super Man in Orlando, I think he can be that guy again.
I know by managing the draft the way we did, we saved $800K by picking Eyenga (or whatever his name is), but we passed on some good players - players that may have helped us this coming year. I think Danny Green is a good player that could help us, maybe even next year. So, I consider it below average. Unless we use the money we save to sign all the free agents we want and need, then I’ll reserve the right to change my mind.
I sure hope Ferry knows what he is doing because signing “Sheed” and Matt Barnes or Anthony Parker is risky, especially Rasheed. So, I hope he is right.
If he is, then Shaq will be “the first to five” rings and I’ll be celebrating at the parade downtown —- and I will be at the parade.
Dad
Did I mention I’ll be at the parade?
