Yeah, Big Dog was one of my favorite pickups. Pretty uncharacteristic move by the Spurs FO, and it paid off.
Rodman committed the unforgivable sin of quitting on your team. That being said, when he was motivated and his head was in the game, I thought he contributed to the some of the best ball of the Admiral's pre-Duncan era.
Like I said, an unforgivable sin, but on the other hand, it's not like managing Rodman was an impossible task. Rodman played a big part in Detroit and in Chicago. Why couldn't we get it done? I think it was a failure on both Rodman's and the Spurs parts. Mostly on Rodman's...but managing talent is part of the game, too.
It really sucked watching him go and help MJ win more les.
