Sweet Lew or E-Blocka

He did what he felt he had to. Good or bad decisions, he didn't believe in growing "organically" and Was more focused on giving us fans a winning product sooner rather than later. That I do miss about him

You gotta remember though, the core of our team was all hocky guy lol. Howard, Turk, Meer, and with those guy slotted in it made finishing the team much easier. Sorry to get off topic but I really disliked Goatis who imo is one of the worst we've ever had as gm.

Yeah, Weisbrod really laid the foundations for that 09 finals team in the Summer of 2004, when he acquired 60% of the starting line up over the span of just weeks.

Always thought Weisbrod made some good decisions that were gutsy and highly unpopular at the time, but in hindsight turned out to be right. T-Mac + E Okafor as the focus would have been a pretty bad team.

Agreed. Weisbrod has always gotten a bad rep but as a hockey guy was fighting a losing battle from the start.

That 04-05 team with Francis, Mobley, Hill, Howard and Cato starting with Turk, Jameer and Battie off the bench was actually very entertaining the first couple of months of the season and had a decent w-l record. Then after losing 3 in a row early Jan, Weisbrod traded Mobley for Doug Christie and that was the end of that.

Man, i think its a tie, i think both guys have/had the same value and impact at their time. Lewis coudnt D whoever PF he was guarding, he got outmuscled all the time, not sure why people is saying he was a good defender, when he clearly wasnt. He was a SF playing different position. But he turned us from being a 5th seed to a contender, so thats why he get all the votes. I wonder, what if this year's ibaka were joining us instead of shard, what could happened? Would we made the finals? Would we even defeated the Lakers? Lewis after the 2010 season was a washed up player who coudnt play starting minutes on a huge contract, maybe Serge isnt aging that bad, maybe Dwight stayed with the magic, bunch of funny "if's"
