Not just Burks.

He pretty much built a superteam last year by trading role players.

Then this team we had was a favorite by analytics to win it all. We have one of the best starting unit and bench, despite all the glamour lost.

For me, EBrand is special because he knows basketball and can get value. You lack one thing and the entire roster goes haywire.

And the best thing of all, he’s probably the richest GM Of all time so he doesn’t care about job security.

You make the best decision when you can’t get pressured. See the career guys like Otis Smith (magic GM) on how he miscalculated his juggling of players that lead to the fall of the Magic.



Is that sarcasm?

Elton Brand is in the Billie King category of GMs. Worse than Colangelo.

Maybe you have higher standards than mine.
I could be wrong.
There’s never been a time in history when we look back and say that the people who were censoring free speech were the good guys.

Need those future 1sts to flip Tobias elsewhere, sorry.

No compensation needed to have Elton break his contract and come up there, though. He can fly ip there in Josh Harris' chopper and get dropped off right at MSG.
