Jpete... jury is still out. But so far, feels like best gm we've had since Bernie.... at very least. Although, not hard to be better than mitch, Cho and Higgins.

Jeff might've cooked with this most recent draft, but so far he's below Cho and above Mitch and Higgins for me. Cho's downfall was that he married himself to Steve Clifford.
I'm willing to concede Cho for now. Fair enough.
I do appreciate what he was trying to do with his four Cs approach. And I do love the fact that he generally went after Super High character guys. It led to a very likable team and 2 playoff births. He was decent at finding some small mid-season trades that worked out really well. And I'm not sure that it was his fault that he rushed the rebuild by signing jefferson. And really hard to fault him on two of his big draft busts... the holy s*** he just missed on so many lottery picks. And I'm not sure that it was his say so in completely ignoring the second round pics all the years that he did. S******* the bed and that Frank Kaminsky draft by turning down the Boston offer though is pretty inexcusable especially when we saw the rationale behind why they turned it down. It's just really hard to say during that era how much of that was coming from Jordan and his inner circle

We are basically arguing over whether you'd rather die by getting shot, stabbed, or poisoned :lol:

Any organization that actually gave a **** about winning would've canned any of these losers 3 years into their tenures (and realistically never hired them in the first place)
investigate Adam Silver

The Mitch vs Cho debate is kind of weird. If you compare their best teams the best Mitch teams seem better on paper than the Cho teams and if you compare their specific player transactions Cho seems worse to me, but at the same time the bar was a lot higher during Mitch's tenure and Cho actually had two teams make the playoffs, whereas nothing Mitch did ever actually amounted to anything.

I think the 2022 Hornets had more talent and a better coaching staff. They only won 43 games though compared to the 48 wins of the 2016 Hornets. I don't think the 2016 team would win 48 games if you transported them to 2021/2022 season.

I don't think it's fair to compare the two because I think MJ meddled way more into the Cho affairs than the Mitch ones, especially towards the end
