Reading that, it's ill how he'd make bad draft picks but always got a future 1st rounder in return when he decided to trade em. Seems like Dumars makes solid picks with late 1st rounders and does well when making trades but is erratic with his free agent signings.

He might be turning it around from being horrible for the last 4-5 years or so but the difference between Chess and Checkers will depend on what he does with the $20 mil in expiring contracts he got coming up.

I went with Roulette, he's placing bets on a "range of numbers" doesn't really have a focused direction other than hoping one of em pays off.
