I would say that's not true. Kahn signed Hollins for a reason, he's going to give Hollins a chance to prove himself. And it's not like Hollins is underachieving, he's just being Ryan Hollins.


being overpaid for his basketball abilities and not doing the things Kahn thought Ryan would do.


Well, he's not being traded for cap space before the deadline. He's just not. It implies an incredible lack of confindence in his own scouting abilities.

Admitting a mistake, learning from it and moving on is a strong quality of any desicion maker, I don't know what's so bad if Kahn did the same. Kahn said that he saw in Hollins that athletic defender to go along with Al and Kluv, but Hollins is clearly not good enough for this role, we not playing for anything significant this year so why keep Hollins long term if it's clear that Kahn should find a new man for this role.

It's fine to admit a mistake, but how can you change your mind about a player in less than 30 games? If you can, you didn't do your job scouting in the first place.

Who said that Kahn is a good talent evaluator?

If your GM isn't a good talent evaluator, or at least have someone good at it that he trusts, then you're in trouble.

Kahn is a good deal maker and negotiator, but it's too early to judge his or his crew's scouting skills.
So we don't know yet.

You're harping on Hollins way too soo. We need a third big to play 15-20 minutes a game. Hollins has shown he has the potential to grow into that role. You don't write him off after 30 games, playing for a new team, a new offense, and new coaches.

We don't know, but that's the most important part of building a team.
