And Phil has had such an awful year as GM and the whole coaching thing has to be scaring off potential free agents
Drafted a potential franchise player at 4 in what was supposed to be a 2 or 3 person draft. Signed solid depth in O'Quinn and Afflalo for cheap money. Even has gotten use out of Derrick Williams who he is trash. Also flipped Tim Hardaway Jr for a first round pick, and got a solid pg prospect. No long deals, no long commitments. The team is about to double its win total, even with awful coaches.
plus how much do you give up for a guy in his thirties with weight problems and bad knees?
The weight problem thing is a fallacy. Though the knees/injuries are a concern.
Then again, when you have the chance to trade multiple picks for Bargnani, u take it right?
Phil didn't make that deal.
