Is Gato passing around that juice? Who is this masked GM? Last year did I not hear that He liked Ariza and that signing Darko was one of two MAIN objectives of the offseason? Well he really blew up the PF slot and then traded his favored small forward. Now with Redick earning time on the bench before being traded thats three young guys that Otis liked for the future of the team.
NO Gm was going to move Dwight. Rashard is unmoveable and resigning Jameer for those dollars isn't looking too great now. You can't move Turk because despite Shard getting Franchise money if you move Turk this team would make a good run for a lottery pick.
Lets face it the most spectacular move of Otis was agreeing as an assistant to sign Dwight and moving Steve O. Thats it and Dwight wasn't on his watch and all indications are we were already moving in that direction. IF we grade Otis on the job of Gm in the years he actually was and is a GM then
On drafting Otis gets a D
On Fiscal responsibilities F
On first choice of Coach - D (being kind)
on getting Rashard - C+ (has to be handicapped for the way he has now hampered the team from getting better as evidenced this year and the years to come)
On sticking with a plan - C- Ariza and Darko were a part of that plan.
on trades - B (Moving Francis was very good. letting what he traded for just walk in the offseason very poor. Cook is a disaster but Evans is passable.)
Nothing there to rave about and a lot to question.
