No.... It's Kevin McHale's tenure as the timberwolves GM.

I wouldn't say it was a miss to draft Rasho over Pat Garrity.

Most teams missed out on Manu Ginobili. Wouldn't criticize that either. Ginobili was one of the last picks in the second round during a time where few teams did advanced scouting internationally at the level the Spurs were doing back then. Ginobili was a great pick, but also somewhat of a lucky pick because talent or not, some international players are hard to predict in terms of how they will adapt and improve in the NBA.

And, a lot of late second round picks like Blake Stepp get cut by NBA teams. It's more of a surprise if a late second round pick makes the team than it is for them to get cut.

haha wow how is he still a gm?

he just got demoted to coach....hint, he looks like Lurch from the Addams family.

How did Garnett's contract cause the lockout?

How did Garnett's contract cause the lockout?

I don't know, this was emailed to me by someone. I didn't catch that part but it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I posted the whole thing as a joke I really didn't expect the analysis of his resume like some people gave.

[lefty]

How did Garnett's contract cause the lockout?

Because NBA stars with more seniority thought: " Hey, if that young overrated bitch is getting that much $$$, I should get more ".

Or something like that.
