I think if a poll were to be done with the GMs in the know, the vast majority would rather be in my shoes than yours right now, and remember, we've both been here a long time, where our teams are is where we led them.
Count me among those who'd take your team in a hurry. Man, I'd LOVE to compete for a championship again. And that's the only thing I critizise (no matter if i'm entitled to do so): that the Raptors are underachieving big time. That this team should battle the Pacers and Nets and Hornets for playoff seeding, not the Celtics and Hawks.
But of course you're right, who am I to talk shit. I did lead my team into nowhere land (pretending I had a shot at playing for the title until last season) and I do have to face the consequences of my mismanagement. And for a change I will try to be patient and do a rebuilding that hopefully will take me back to the playoffs in a few seasons. Nothing more I play for currently ...
And Tom, on about Natt again? *rolls eyes* Especially after your thugs knocked him out of action on day 76?
He's been fine. He's about the fifth option on my team, and we keep winning, which is what I care most about.
In any event, Natt's injury is a little bump in the Nets road, but we managed OK without him going 5-2 - and will have to continue to for the next 35 days. Better set up my DC to get a little synergy going into the playoffs and plan to bring him off the bench later.
You were simply unstoppable BEFORE you got Natt, killing teams by double digits ... and you're doing good since. There's a dropoff in how you win games, and as you said, he's moved down to #5 options for you.
and that's all I said before: I believe you got worse in this trade and gave up some nice talent in Curry.
But that doesn't take from the fact your nets still rule and might go all the way ...
...stop hating coz I won't trade you Shane Wedge...
