It's hard not to pick McHale now.

I think Isaih put the Knicks in more financial hurt while making bad trades, while McHale has just made bad trades.

As bad as that trade seems atm, Thomas completley crippled a franchise. Who knows how Mayo will turn out, Love and Jefferson may mesh, Mike Miller isn't exactly a hack. Props to Chris Wallace though. This trade sorta makes up for the Gasol trade, even though i hear the owners been playing a big hand in basketball operations after that blunder.

Good lord this is tough.

As a Blazer fan, I can thank McFail for trading us Roy.....

BUT, I can also thank Isiah for taking Randolph and his giant contract.....

Can't I pick both?

McHale is just an absolute dumbass. At least Isiah tried, and was entertaining for a little while.

I think a lot of teams can thank McHale - Blazers, Celtics, and now the Grizzlies and Heat. The front office is going to be filled with fruit baskets come Christmas time.

I am not sure on this one

Thomas brought the Knicks the worst record while financially being the worst team in the NBA, however McHale did not....

McHale has never made a solid trade, but either has Thomas......

McHale brought in a potential all star in Jefferson, while Thomas has not........

Isiah is indeed a character, but McHale is not...........

The difference is though Isiah at least tried forming an all offensive team full of selfish players because he thought it would work. McHale doesn't know what he is doing.

If I had to pick between them, I would sadly pick I. Thomas because at least he tried something that everyone else knew would not work. McHale isn't trying anything new, he is just plain stupid.

McHale.

Did Isiah ever trade anyone with star potential like Mayo?

Well he traded the 2006 pick for Curry, but f**ck it, Mayo will be better than anyone in the draft class. I hope.

Actually, no, I'm just talking s*it. I'm just disappointed that Mayo is not a T-Wolf. McHale sucks ass.

Isiah = Entertaining
McHail = Embarrassing

Wolves fans have my condolences. Although this trade isn't as bad as everyone makes it out to be, I'm pretty high on Mayo and have doubts over how a Jefferson-Love frontcourt will work defensively BUT Mike Miller can ball.

This is a worthy contest between two illustrious titans of decrepitude.

I chose McHale. This really is just astonishing.

I'd say Isiah without question. McHale's horrible too, but he didn't destroy a franchise.

McHale will commit suicide when Mayo will be greatness while Love averages 10 and 8 for his career.

It's very hard to choose. I mean, Isiah almost destroyed an entire city. He completely demolished the rich tradition of basketball in New York City. It's a joke. With the history that happened with the Knicks, Isiah just sent a big FU to the Knicks and their fans.

But then you've got Kevin McHale. This guy is the pinnacle of stupidity. He makes some horrible trades that can't be justified by any means. I will find it hard to believe Kevin Love would have a better career than OJ Mayo. It blows my mind that one person can be that stupid.

I choose McFail. Besides, I can't hate on Isiah, he gave us picks.

McFail is MUCH worse, because he still has a job, and he was a GM way before Isiah went to the Knicks.
