The Bill Simmons podcast is discussing the "Worst GM jobs" in the NBA. Anybody wanna guess who is #1 with a bullet?
But, we can dream about better days, eventually... where we can root for this sort of culture:
Down 30 in the 3rd quarter, with 3 starters injured... the Raptors threw the kitchen sink at the Mavs and mounted a stunning comeback victory. Then, went on the road for the 2nd end of the back-to-back and took a 20 - 10 Pacers team to OT the next night.
Seriously, must be fun to be a Raptors fan right now (title or no title).

Until proven otherwise, he's not wrong. I think MPLS/STP magazine did a better deep dive in their last issue.
I have also been listening to some ringer podcasts. But if you're not a fan of Simmons (and most of you aren't), you have to listen to one he recorded after the MIN win over NO. Seem D/C extraordinaire Simmons would play a 4-man box against Cousins and wait for him to throw a pick. If Cook ever hears that, I think he'll pee himself a little. Even Cousin Sal said "Hold on" on that one.

He's 100% right. He didnt even mention the McHale lawsuit. There is no reason to think Taylor is even a nice guy anymore. The only thing I think he got wrong is saying Dolan is a worse owner.

I personally respect Simmons for the empire he's built, and I must say I agree with his take on that podcast. The culture is not where it needs to be & it starts with Glen. It's already hard enough to get and keep players in our cold & small market. An excellent owner can help cover some of those blemishes. On another note, another good listen about the KG situation and how shitty Glen is, was on Windhorst's podcast last Thursday. He's got Jackie McMullan on there too and I think her and KG are close.

I read through a different thread here talking about KG calling Glen a snake. I can confirm it. My family had done business with him for years. He is 1000% a snake.
The only saving grace is that he wouldn't/won't allow the Wolves to move out of state.
