This is were you seem to lose ppl. You didn't answer my question. You instead chose to argue your point without even knowing where I stand or where I was was going with my point. If you don't want to answer my question thats fine, but don't assume to know where I stand without at least giving me the chance to debate my point.

I will answers your first question. I don't know. His track record as of late has not been that great. I will ask you this. How much of it has been due to Kohl's micromanagement? Without knowing the answer to that question we will never know how good or bad Harris has been as a GM.

Trust me, if you have never been in the position that Harris is rumored to be in now you will never understand how difficult it truly is.



My problem in trying to evaluate Harris is the moves he's not been allowed to makes cause a chain reaction.

We have no idea what the team would look like if he wasn't so hamstrung. If say we got Boozer as he wanted, that would have caused a ripple effect on where we drafted and likely who would be on the roster now.

Maybe he doesn't resign Mo. Maybe we still have Ford. Maybe neither is our PG. We have a guy being called our GM that has that name only in title.

He doesn't get to choose his head coach. He only gets to partly build the roster. He had terrible luck injury wise with the teams first big free agent signing in awhile.

Harris has done some good and some bad things, but his power is so limited that i have a hard time knowing if he's a good, bad, or mediocre GM given the Bucks roster right now likely wouldn't look much like it now does if Harris actually had real GM powers.

Well if we had Boozer we wouldn't have Mo, because I believe the deal was Mo and Magloire for Boozer. But you are right, that move would have changed future moves. For instance, we can't say we could have had Boozer and Marion because with Boozer we probably wouldn't have had the #6 pick to acquire Marion. It would be nice if Kohl let Harris have some freedom to make moves before letting him go.
