I'm not ready to anoint
as GM of the year over this much less pat him on the back. Sure he's done a fine job rebuilding the bench, but then again that wasn't exactly a difficult task considering the state of our bench the last few years. And I applaud him for getting Mash's contract off the books and freeing up that cap space.
But
dropped the ball on the entire BD situation. At the very least we should have received one of the 1st round Dallas picks that GS holds. Sure you have to sound positive about a future with Dickau and Speedy sharing time at PG, because the way
talks about free agency, we're not going to see many substantive changes for a couple of years. But a Dickau/Speedy combo at PG is not the answer. They're both servicable PG's and would both compliment any legitimate starter coming off the bench, but we're in trouble if this is the combo
sees at PG long-term. Judged on it's own and as of this date, this trade deserves an F - it was a bad trade made out of necessity because BD backed us into a corner, those never work out well in and of themselves for the team on the short end (us). But because the full ramifications won't be realized for at least another year, you earn an incomplete
. Finish the job you started and find that mix of veterans and youngsters who will return us to winning and you will earn your passing grade, blow it and you keep the F.
