    He's "keeping his options open"?? I expect it's going to turn into a situation of him dragging Portland into negotiations so he can get a bigger payday from Atlanta.

    Hasn't that happened a few times in the last decade when we've been searching for a GM?

    Just about every time, I think?

    I'm not so sure Atlanta would block that. They might be looking for a change

    A second-rate franchise hiring a second-rate candidate (Sund)

    ...Makes sense.

    Sund has made horrible draft blunders over the years with guys like Randolph Childress, Mateen Cleaves and Robert Swift.

    Some decent players in Theo Ratliff, Corey Maggette and Desmond Mason.

    Dude's been a GM since 79' so he has some good picks too, when he was with the Mavs he drafted Aguirre, Blackmon in the same draft. Then Dale Ellis, Detlef Schrempf and Derek Harper. Snagged Mark Price in the 2nd round.

    The games changed a lot since the 80's though.

    *Signed Calvin Booth to a ridiculous contract
    *Signed Jerome James to a ridiculous three-year contract
    *Selected Robert Swift 12th overall
    *Selected Saer Sene 10th overall
    *Signed Joe Johnson to (currently) the worst contract in the NBA
