Everyone, including you, is too reactionary into what's happening in the present.
So by me constantly preaching patience with Darko....that is somehow too reactionary?
You're obsession with our FO being the worst ever is reactionary, and when I say the present, I mean the last few years.
For Darko it's too early to make final judging on him.
I view Masai overall as an above average exec btw.
I don't think he's the 'In Masai we trust' level of exec fans thought of him, but I also don't see him as the Dumar level either.
He has a pretty clear track record of hitting in the draft overall, and has made more good trades then bad overall.
His greatest flaw is he either gets too emotionally attached and can't see the forest from the trees. The reason the Kyle of Demar era worked was both were hitting their peak, prime at the same time. Siakam and Barnes are pretty much 9 years apart.
This has also lead to the disastrous Jak trade, where the teams real ceiling wasn't worth the trade.
Fwiw, I thought Masai got really lucky with the OG trade in it's timing and subsequently unlucky with the Siakam (we'll never truly know but we know Siakam was tanking his trade value before the season) trade.
I see Masai on the level of Ainge (who I also view as an above average exec, not an elite one), but not on the level of Prestie who's actually an elite exec.
I don't view Ainge to be as good as the recent trade's project him, he has the same flaw Masai has where he tries to win every trade (fleece) but this also leads to no trades happening.
My point is we all need to give our new coach some time as we are starting from scratch a bit, but the same should patience should also be given to our FO.
I don't think Masai has ever truly worked with a real rebuild (building around a 22 year old) so this is a new angle to go off.
