i would agree he's proactive instead of reactive, However, I dont think any teams would've given Collison another 5 year $33 million dollar contract for 4ppg and 4 rpg, he's a good role player and probablly got paid about what other teams would've paid for his services.tiderulz wrote:Blue_and_Whte wrote:Is Presti really that good of a GM? iirc, outside of Durant and Perk most of his core group are on their rookie contracts....Westbrook's rookie is contract is up after next season, Harden, Ibaka, Maynor's all end after the 12/13 season. Lets see what happends when he actually has to start paying these guys.
EDIT: Excercised contract options. On Maynor, Serge, Harden. I dont know, Perkins didnt show up/injured so he re-signs him to a deal? the contracts currently are fairly easy to manage well see how it all unfolds when he has to keep all those guys together.
i can agree with that. But he also is a bit proactive. Unlike our GM here, when he wasnt positive on Green, he didnt let the market set the price and have to match, he used him to get another asset needed by the team. I agree that we will have to see how he handles players coming off their rookie contracts. He was creative with Collison in keeping him in the fold (who is a really good role player), and seems to have an eye for identifying talent with draft picks.
In terms of the draft, He has picked well but he's generally had high draft picks too 2nd pick in 07 (Durant) 4th pick in 08 (westbrook) and the 3rd pick in 09 (Harden). Otis has had to work with middle to late first round picks since he's come in. JJ rounded out to be a nice player, and if you're an anderson fan, he recognized his talent and traded for Gortat I dont Otis lacks an eye for talent. I think financially he struggles to make sound decisions and is probablly a little too risky (Arenas, Turk)
