And, oh yes, I also believed that Beal was a better pick for the Zards than MKG, an opinion that same poster didn't share.
So, you see, I have sinned. I've had the audacity to agree with some of the moves made by the notorious EG...and not scream bloody murder about others.
As I said in my post, *everybody* agrees w/ *some* of what Ernie has done. Hard to imagine a GM messing up everything 100%.
That's not the issue. What's at stake, and obviously so, is whether Ernie is a good or even an average NBA GM. He's had *a decade* in his job. W/ that big a sample, you judge on results pure and simple. Ernie's results suck. He's a terrible GM, a throw-back to the "old basketball guy" school of management.
Choosing between MKG and Beal has nothing to do w/ that. Whichever one went #2 we'd have taken the other one. Has nothing to do w/ Maynor either.
