    "We started this offseason in the process of looking for a head coach. We targeted two guys, and we actually hired them both in a six-day period of time." - Otis Smith [​IMG]

    By the way, what decisions is Van Gundy talking about when he says, "and then a history over the last couple years of very good front-office decisions that have given the franchise that flexibility." Did I miss something? What good decisions?

    Well yeah but the negatives overshadow the positives in my opinion. We're like the worst run franchise ever. [​IMG]

    Getting Otis in office, trading for Darko/Arroyo(more so Darko than Mr. Latino Heat himself [​IMG]), getting Van Gundy, the freethrow shooting coach, etc.

    Though, you are right. There is plenty of negatives. Otis is a pretty good GM, though. The only "wtf" thing he did, was not utilizing Grant Hill's expiring contract.

    He said it gave us flexibility, not that it made us king **** of **** mountain. We do have some flexibility: cap room, and trade pieces, and Dwight to lure other players.
