I'd argue that last year Kohl was being told Yi was not only the next Dirk but also a money machine. And I'd also argue that Kohl figured that he would make the playoffs this past year, even with drafting Yi.
Yeah, maybe I'm just getting carried away with my own common sense
I guess the one-year plans concept isn't as compelling to me because we seemed to be forever rebuilding in the early '90s when I first became a fan. But it makes more sense recently and in the late '90s.paulpressey25 wrote:When you look at the GM's or coaches we'd get, most would appear to be either Herb puppets or say a "win now" coach guy like Larry Brown. With both of those scenarios, it screams a short-term focus rather than a 3-year plan focus.
I kind of wonder how the conversation with a guy like David Griffin goes about this sort of thing. I mean, if you're a self-respecting young hotshot, you're not coming here if the expectation is playoffs in year one. You want a year or two to dump the pieces you don't like (which is probably most of the team) and then rebuild it the way you want to. Obviously Herb doesn't want to wait, but can he get someone desirable if his mandate is what we think it is?
