He waffles and flip flops more than a teenage girl at the mall. One minute, he's rebuilding, and then out of nowhere, he decides to go all in and win now in some desperate attempt for the 8th seed. He looked like he was patient, with a young core of DeMar and JV (both of whom we could've traded for Harden), and then he decides to have a big boner for Steve Nash and give Landry Fields insane money to prevent the Knicks from signing him, only for Nash to go elsewhere anyways. Have a solid backcourt in DeMar and Lowry and have no more touches to go around to other players since we need to feed JV for the good of his development? Trade for Rudy goddamn Gay. Desperate to keep Bosh? Trading a 1st for Jermaine O'Neal, flip O'Neal for Marion a few weeks later, and then let Marion go and sign Turkoglu to a ridiculous deal. That's not even getting into drafting Air Bargnani 1st overall, and then basically giving him preferential treatment and firing Smitch who, as bad a coach as he was, was only fired because he wouldn't go easy on poor Bargnani.
He has no clue how pieces on team fit and no long term vision and just has a corporate stench above him. The amount of times you'll hear him say "organic growth" will make you punt puppies in anger. Everyone says he drafted and traded for most of the Raps core. I guarantee you, however, that we wouldn't be the team we are today if not for Masai, who actually has vision and knows how to build a TEAM and not a collection of talent like BC.
Except he's not good at you know drafting. His drafts when he was with the raps were uneven.
He selected Bargs over LMA. Ross over Drummond. Traded Hibbert for Oneal. The only two picks he hit on really are Derozen and Jonas. Drafted TJ Tucker over Paul Millasp. Traded Goran Dragic for Giorgos Printezis
Two picks over the course of six seasons is not a great drafter. Hinkie has hit on pretty all his first round picks with the exception of Embiid which could still work out.
He doesn't have an Andrea Bargs in his resume. He also doesn't have the record of god awful trades and signings either. Hedo, Kleiza, Peja (trade), Oneal (trade), Landry, Jorge Garbajosa, Fred Jones, and he tried to trade for Steve Nash and move Lowry.
. Was this the purpose of Jerry all along? I'm absolutely disgusted that the franchise could let this happen, even if this nepotism family business succeeds.
