If Dwight's gonna act like a baby and whine about the GM not getting players on his list and letting him play armchair GM, then I'm not going to side with him. Doesn't really matter who the GM is or what the GM has done, with the possible exception of Isiah Thomas who is clinically insane.
Remember when Tmac wanted us to trade the #1 pick for "help"? Yeah. Letting players call the shots is a sure path to disaster.
"But Otis has led us to disaster!"
Okay. I don't necessarily disagree. We're looking at a situation now where Dwight wants out, and that's a certifiable disaster. So does Otis deserve to get fired? Yeah. I don't know if he will, but if he got fired today, you wouldn't see me complain.
The point isn't really about Otis or Dwight specifically. It's about not creating an environment where the GMs are just figureheads that indulge a star's every whim. That's not going to work, because players do not know best. Not all GMs do either, so when it becomes clear that yours doesn't, then by all means fire him.
+1. This is what I been thinking.
I wanted otis gone not because of Dwight, its because he has shown to be inept and incapable of forming a championship team.
