This is the guy who yea drafted kg but also the guy who couldn't surround him with any talent better then wally Z for 10 years. Oh and he also traded him for the poo poo plater from Boston.
off the top of my head-
Lost a bunch of draft picks trying to sign JOE SMITH!!! under the table, the equivalent of trying to sign dante under the table.
Drafted studs like will avery, ndi ebi, loren woods, rashard mccants.
traded away ray allen on draft night.
throwing away money on guys like troy hudson, the khandi man, rasho, ricky davis.
Yea we would sooo much better with that guy running the show. Take away KG and we'd be one of the worst franchises in sports
Not to pile on here, but the thread did say better.
And seriously, on a night where Patty Mills, drafted only 27 spots after Wayne Ellington and only FORTY-NINE spots after Johnny Flynn, goes for 20 on the road against a good team, you have the nerve to mention LOREN EFFING WOODS?!?!?!??!?!
Loren Woods was the 46th pick in his particular draft. He played two years as a backup and then left, where he spent the next 10 or so years as a backup/CBA/overseas guy. The only guy taken after him who had anything close to the same success was the straight Collins twin. If you are honestly going to blame GM's for this type of move, and I'm assuming that you also blame NFL GM's for their 7th round picks and MLB GM's for their 10th round (or later) picks, you might as well just stop following sports, because you are going to be absolutely miserable.
As far as Mccants, you are half right. He listened to Rex Chapman, who had accomplished nothing before and nothing since as a personnel guy, who told him to draft Mccants. As far as Rasho, he did THE EXACT OPPOSITE of throwing money at him. They allowed him to walk away and he signed with San Antonio, who then unloaded him on Toronto.
And last but not least: You are the only "Wolves fan" I know who blames Mchale for the Joe Smith incident. Everyone else I talk to places him about 4th or 5th, behind FLEISCHER (who {IS RUMORED TO HAVE} ratted everyone out because Joe Smith didn't pay him his fee), Taylor, and Smith himself, and some even give Flop more blame.
Don't be ashamed to run your posts by someone before you type them in.
