Sadly he might have a point. What’s our record since his firing? Lol
I keep having to address this.
Dumars wasn’t just our last good GM. He was also the first in a long chain of bad ones. This decline was initially brought on by his poor decisions.
We didn’t do a good job replacing him but moving on from Joe D was 100 percent necessary.
IIRC John Hammond was Joe D's assistant GM, and left the organisation for the Milwaukee GM job before Chauncey was traded.
The last half of Joe Dumars time was a disaster that made SVG look solid. After Hammond left, we had the "all shooting guards" team of Iverson-Hamilton-Stuckey-Gordon-Afflalo, the Charlie V and Josh Smith signings, building around the Drummond-Jackson core, the revolving door on the head coach, no draft successes to note other than Middleton who was traded for a bag of chips . . .
We're closing in on 2 decades of ineptitude
At least it could have been worse: we could have hires Zeke!
