    OK it is unanimous. I am wrong.

    But if they can pull inexperienced ex players from TNT, and pay them millions of dollars to coach a team, then I think TP has a chance. He may not be the most articulate guy in the world, but I think he is sharper then you guys are giving him credit for. He knows the players in the league better than most. That would be an asset. Plus this team needs a PR firm more than they need a another college scout.

    Or, to go even further back, Damon's? Or Chris Dudley's AFTER he broke his foot and opted out of his orginal contract.

    I read they got new contracts. However, if they get a "promotion" from another team, they have to be allowed to move. I still think KP raids the cupboards when he lands with a new franchise.

    Joe Dumars just spent 30 million a year on a chucker and a hairless, homeless man's LaMarcus Aldridge.

    Not exactly lighting it up these days.

    He still has a ring. (As a GM) Besides that is one example. Use Kerr as an example. Western conference finals. Sure he made some huge mistakes too. But so do the experienced ones.

    I was thinking that same thing. I crush Dumars for most of the moves he's made. But would I put up with a GM Idiot (no matter who he was) if the Blazers hung a 2011 Champ Banner up, followed by 6 years of mediocrity (and counting)? I probably would.
