I guess Calvin Booth, Randy Livingston (who he signed at least a half a dozen times) Ansu Sesay, Jerome James, Leon Smith, Mateen Cleaves, Rick Brunson, Mikki Moore, Noel Felix, Marcus Fizer and Andre Brown would all disagree.

Thank god!!!
I was growing tired of Sund not doing anything.
Gee...what a shame.
I feel bad for Sund that his last move was the signing of Randy Livingston. Never the best way to go out, that.
GOOD!
Best news ive heard all year!
This is a great day for Sonics basketball.
I couldn't be happier with this news. I was jumping up and down on the couch when I read it on the bottom of the screen during the Bulls/Heat game yesterday.

As highlighted, his Seattle track record was horrible and all he did was fool Herb Kohl into trading Ray Allen. Seems par for the course for Herb to hire-trade for people who have done well against him and his team. It is a long list.
Do we need a RealGM protest against a Sund hiring?

And what is our obsession with Doug Collins about? He was only a coach and it's not like he did it for 20 years. He coached 8 seasons and he was fired 3 times.

If you remember Kohl said Babcock will be handling the draft, he said it matter of factly and with the desire to have someone hired by the end of the season, which makes you wonder, is Kohl going to split the job? I know his group of circle jerks view Babcock as an excellent player personnel guy and no decision is actually made without consulting the lawyers...so the disfunction known as the Bucks family could actually be growing. I also know Babcock wants, and still thinks he is a viable candidate for the job.
Doug Collins turned down the opportunity to coach and run the front office at $5M per season. He also rejected a $4M offer to do one or the other.
