I don't know who is responsible for Beal's extension and refusal to trade him. Maybe Tommy was trying to persuade Turd to do so and not extend Beal? We will never know. All I know are the quotes from Turd as the press conference fawning over Beal. I doubt Tommy had the authority to ever trade Beal. All the national media types (Lowe, KOC, etc) have stated that Turd mandated the play-in/1st round/competing. You think Turd wasn't on board with extending Beal?
Tommy deserves scorn for his draft record for sure (not Kispert, and to a lesser extent Deni (completely defensible pick)). Taking Davis was at the time a fireable offense.
