Although Hands posted this in a far-away thread about the D League, I thought you all should read this, as he joins the "this mess is busted and Ernie must go" crew:

Blair ...Wasted...
Hump hasn't...
Kevin ...just doesn't
Webster never...
Rasual was awesome but now is totally in a funk from 3.
Beal never adapted his game to shooting more catch and shoot 3s.
PP's legs ...too old to contribute regularly....
...
Short of Wall, Beal, Otto and Gortat.. they could use a roster make over.
Blair, Kevin, Webster, PP, Nene should go.
Sessons is a 3rd PG ... 2M is more then I would spend....
I would consider keeping Gooden n Temple for end of the bench. Both are good in that role.
Hump I would have to think about. If he shot the 3, I wouldn't need to thing about it.
...they should make the change to a new GM/Coach as well.
I am impressed by this candid and thorough recanting.
This is from a poster who not much more than a month ago was talking about what a great roster we have, what a "colossal fail" this whole thread was, what a good "step by step plan" Ted and Ernie had crafted and how well they were managing it, how wrong all of us who said first (and for a long time -- it having been obvious) what he's saying at this late date, how welcome new posters were who didn't want to criticize, and how he was waiting for the day coming soon when we (not he, but we) had to recant our mistaken criticisms.
It's hard to change your mind that much -- and especially because it's hard to admit when you've been wrong. But admitting your mistakes is a strength not a weakness; it's one of the most important strengths a person can have as a matter of fact. So, far from criticizing Hands, I hope it is obvious that I'm memorializing that strength on his part.
I only wish he could push a button and fire Ernie Grunfeld. But, like the rest of us, this is not in his power.
THIS is the bottom-line.
