10) Think it's finally safe to say he boned that Darko pick, that the Iverson trade isn't going to work out, and Ben Gordon and Charlie Villanueva aren't looking good

9) The last half-dozen coaching hires haven't inspired confidence

8) Feel kind of embarrassed to not make the playoffs in the East, given that they were the only team who was actually trying to do that and miss

7) Really feel that he could have noticed Andre Drummond's free throw shooting issues at some point in the scouting level

4) After cutting him checks for the last 30 years between his athletic and administrative career, HR is well and truly sick of him

3) Keep thinking that maybe it would be nice if someone in the area actually gave a fig about the team
