    Look at some of the things he did:-He traded the aging Payton and Desmond Mason for Ray Allen.-Took a chance on Rashard Lewis, and that turned out great.-Drafted Luke Ridnour, and that created a great starting 3.-He traded Vladimir Radmonovic for Chris Wilcox, who broke out, and then resigned Wilcox after it seemed as if he'd go somewhere else.-Got Reggie Evans (He's gone now though)-Signed Undrafted Free Agent Damien WilkinsNow for the bad:-Drafted C Robert Swift-Drafted C Johan Petro-Drafted C Saer Sene-Let Nate McMillan go, hired Bob Weiss, fired him, hired Bob Hill. That was all in under a year.-Let Reggie Evans go.If he really the second worst GM in the league? He's a little underated, in my opinion.

    OK, well he has been terrible at drafting in the last three seasons. First of all, he is drafted the same position for three straight years, and the players he drafted won't do anything at all.Saer Sane was a huge gamble, and a bad pick at no. 10 also.

    Johan Petro was actually a good pick at number 23? I don't remember the pick, but he knew what he was doing. Besides, if Sene does turn out to be a beast, everyone would stop doubting Rick Sund. You can't say that Sene is a bust already.

    Alright, true. I will agree with that, but still, why would he draft three straight Centers? That doesnt make any sense.

    It could make sense. Trade bait and potential. Plus, thats where they needed the most help every year. Even if say Swift was a bust, then they have Sene and Petro to make up for it.

    It was at #25. Also he is horrible. He overpays players who dont deverve it, and under pays players who deserve it. LIke Rashard should be making as much as ray now. Rashard is our main guy for the future and hes been workin on defense all summer and his ballhandlling. But also, he trades dumb. LIke Vin Baker for Corey Maggette. That was dumb. I remember his words clearly. "We dont need Corey, We already have rashard, and we could use Vin." That makes me so mad.
