I would pay money to hear the conversations between Ernie & other GM's when they get called about Blatche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G.A.C.O.L.B. Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Beal is a perfect fit for our organization. You know our guys were sweating blood when there was all that talk about Cleveland and all those other teams moving up for Beal.I can't believe we were able to draft both him and John Wall. With Jan showing off some new dimensions and some improvement, I don't think I could possibly get any more excited about next season. I can see the pieces starting to come together. So Ernie has done a good job then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sisko Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 If you compare his success to the franchise historically then yes. Well, that's a pretty low bar... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHq12lIYJME Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 So Ernie has done a good job then? Personnel moves wise, I'd say he has the past three offseasons. Personally, I think he's done a good job in the draft and he did a good job with the Hinrich trade, the Arenas trade, and the Nene trade. The only thing I haven't been a big fan of was the Okafor/Ariza trade but it's not that big a deal to me any more. We had to find a way to add veteran talent on short contracts and so we did. Just don't think those guys were the best talent and best fit out there. I'd have liked to see what else Shard's contract might have been able to acquire, definitely wouldn't have done it before the draft if NO wasn't offering #10 in the deal. If Dwight Howard ends up going to LA and they have to trade Pau Gasol off cheap, we're going to be kicking ourselves for dealing Shard. I do think he went too young last season and should have held onto guys like Cartier Martin and James Singleton when we had them the first time. Where he's done a bad job is in establishing our organizational culture. We've got a losing culture despite the fact we're getting talent. If that doesn't change, I don't know what we'll actually be capable of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Excuses Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Not sure if serious or completely delusional. A tiny part of me can sympathize with Ted on not wanting to amnesty him. Paying this sack of **** 23 million for doing nothing stings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paying this sack of **** 23 million for doing nothing stings. Keeping him around stings more. The options are amnesty or pay him to stay home, either way he's getting paid for doing nothing. Might as well sever ties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Excuses Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 If he is staying, work him double than anyone else on the roster. And then don't give him any minutes. Put him on the end of the bench but prepare him as if he's playing 40 minutes a night. I'm a little surprised that he is likely staying because Wittman practically came out and said that he can't coach a loser like him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oscarsandman Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 This could be another case of Ernie undermining his coach again. I'm getting more upset as each minute passes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
