Lee + Balkman -
Balkman -? What's there to dislike about the player? Where he was drafted isn't his fault.
I don't dislike Balkman personally. I see a possible role player off the bench who may help sometime down the road. I'm just annoyed how the Isiah fans make him out to be the greatest pick ever, just because Isiah picked him. If Layden drafted Balkman with the #59 it would've been called a bad pick by the same fans who loved Balkman at #20. Isiah drafts Balkman 30 slots too high and the backers defend it to the death.
So, no, I hope Balkman succeeds, but I'm voting against him because I'm annoyed that we passed up Marcus Williams and how the fans have already decided that he's awesome when he got torn apart by Ron Artest in preseason. I would much rather have Trevor Ariza.

Wishing everyone well. I enjoyed posting here for a while, but as I matured I realized this forum isn't for me. We all evolve. Thanks for the memories everyone.
