Martins just needs to look at that implication and make sure he gets a very expert GM to avoid these Lewis/Arenas contracts and draft smart finally and to make us have a plan to contend on the conf. and league finals. They need to be overly qualified and make Dwight impressed in person with notable background. I don't think it'll be Bower unless it's a solid fall back option from the Spurs/Thunder/Pacers execs.
Ownership is at the root of the problem though. Sure, they spend money but they a) hire idiots that don't know how to manage their money b) don't care enough to make the necessary changes to actually become a "championship" ball club. My opinion and loyalty to this team will hang on these next few decisions. Let's see what they're really about or if it's all just lip service.
I blame them, as well........Well, in part, anyway.
Any owner who had been paying attention would know better than to give Lewis a Max contract, that's inexcusable. They also wouldn't trade that contract for the only one that is worse. Otis would've been let go a long time ago for even trying bulls*** like that, among other things....
We are very lucky to have owners who shell out money like this, but I wish they were more involved.
