Huh?
The Portland Trailblazers and their history with big men.
haha wow how is he still a gm?
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.
he just got demoted to coach....hint, he looks like Lurch from the Addams family.
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.
Because NBA stars with more seniority thought: " Hey, if that young overrated is getting that much $$$, I should get more ".
Or something like that.
