Jeff Weltman doing his job, getting millions

He is still evaluating. He will need another 5 years before any significant moves are made.

What's even more funny is when he makes his next move, it will be hilariously bad.

And here we are still discussing Buddy ball, what is AG’s true position and when will Glass Ankles return to play!

Alex Martins gonna Alex Martins. Been trying to tell y'all that for 3 + years, but no one wants to listen to me.

We been telling you that Henny has been the problem for the past 4 years, that is why nobody listens to you.

Wrong, RDV and Martins have been the problem the last 7 years.

To encourage Weltman to continue drafting tall with long wingspan athletic players with zero offensive skill and strong defensive potential and just hope one of them turns into the next Giannis

Weltman is the final decision-maker for us, for anyone who is not sure.

I can only laugh at the Melo situation. Why they even thought bringing him in was a good idea is beyond my comprehension.

Good for Philly. Maybe Butler was the first domino.

Has to be, because that is a very odd roster otherwise. They need a big guy other than Embiid.

Lol, people want to believe that our GM has no impact. Weltman is the final decision maker, but Hammond is a voice in his ear.

But this does prompt me to ask... Is there a track record for Weltman's trades?

This is Weltman's first gig as the primary decision maker.

He worked as Masai Ujiri's 2nd in command in Toronto from 13-17. He worked as Hammond's 2nd in command in Milwaukee from 08-13. He worked as Kiki VanDeWeghe's 2nd in command in Denver from 01-06.

He also did a year in Detroit working alongside Hammond under Joe Dumars in 07-08.

This is his first gig calling the shots.

Poor kid. Didn't see it and do not want to. There have been quite a few of these crazy injuries. Are these players more fragile or is it the shoes or what? Smh. He was getting a lot of buzz and now who knows what happens.

Anyone who wants Fultz, check out this video of a recent free throw he shot and reconsider your sanity. :lol:

More bizarre is it's not a one off thing... he did this for both free throws. He's got the barkely golf swing stutter thing going on...
